    Very nice!

    I ordered a pizza earlier myself. I just got done eating about a half hour ago. It was quite good.:)

    Now I just need a nice slice of PIE to finish it off.

    I'm going with your steak and roasted potatoes ..... right out of the can, Pioneer-style !!


    I'm at work, posting on my lunch time and/or break time ..... so far, no fires or floods ...... I'm doing a hell of a job ......


    While we're all waiting for Magic Post #444 (at which point Magical things will happen), for those who are also dining, take a break and watch an informative and educational video:

    Yeah...I think we definitely need The Fonz.

    Luke Skywalker needs to make an appearance also. That would really add a lot of character to it overall.

    Peanut butter sandwiches are timeless. I will never get tired of them...Especially when you throw some jelly into the mix.

    Mmmmmmm ....... peanut butter and jelly sammiches ..... When I make mine, I always glob the peanut butter on one piece of bread and then plop a glob of butter into the peanut butter and smoodge it around. Not too much, mind you; just enough to where they are together but not totally blended.
    I have pretty sophisticated tastes.


    Still no fires or flames. I may ask for a raise Tuesday.

    I'm eating a Snickers ice cream bar as I type this. It's really good. I highly recommend them if anyone's never had them before.

    I'm going to be lying on the floor through the whole thing because I'll be so sick and weakened from donating all of this blood plasma. I really need to slow down. I'm starting to falsify records so that I can sell it more than twice a week. I've been to four different Plasma Centers in the last week...it's starting to catch up with me...lol

    Brock-I too have eaten ice cream with a fork from being to lazy to wash a spoon. It gets the job done...that's the important part...lol

    I hooked my speakers up to an Emu...didn't hear a damn thing except for that bird squalking. The connectors smelled like crap and definitely weren't gold plated. I'll pass.

    My NADS sound much better...and my wife likes them too!

    It doesn't work like that. You can't just hook your speakers directly up to the Emu. You have to have dwarf Emu's for starters, is that what you were using? It's a very extensive modification that must be performed to your amplifier to get the best results. I'd be glad to do it for you, for the very reasonable price of 128,000 dollars. It'll be the best money you've ever spent, I guarantee it.;)

    It will sound much better than your NADS do.
