    Wow...I'm honored to have my very own thread, in my honor. I do need to trim that tree up a bit though eh?

    I guess the cats out of the bag now, you all know the secrets of my success.:p:p

    John-The withdrawal pains aren't getting any better yet. This addiction to blow and hookers is really a pain in the ****.

    I am quite abnormal though. You should see my third foot, it's not in that picture. It's what gives me my ability to post so much.

    That was something...Curt has a great future because he seems to be able to take all this ribbing and he's become a legend since I joined this forum about the same time. Look at the 'difference' in the number of our posts? Wow.

    Of course some of that is just pure Youth..I've got to be more than twice Curt's age after all. Have to pick up some Viagra just to match 50 percent of his postage (?).

    Curt whatever you end up doing with your life...if you're as persistent as you are on Club Polk you can accomplish ANYTHING!

    Go for it!

    I for one am shocked and mortified to see just how low you guys can go when poking fun at one of our own....:mad:












    awww the hell with it... he deserves every bit of it even though he is actually kinda cool if you get past the fact he wears Diazy Dukes after labor day...:D

    No, because how Curt feels isn't important at this time; what's important is ... are we having fun ? Sure, it may be at his expense, but ..... that's too bad. ;) If we're all able to entertain ourselves, even if it saps Curt's sense of self-worth as a human being and destroys his will to live, well .... that's not too much to ask, is it ? :)

    Ah...this is just my portable PC rig, not my portable HT rig.

    I'll see if I can dig up some pics of my other rig for ya. I've got my 7A's and my center channel on platforms suspended by my shoulders, along with my AVR, DVD player and VCR attached by a harness around my waist. The sub is strapped to my back(like a backpack) and the surround speakers are suspended in back by a neck brace. It's really a complicated rig. I use it as a surround system for my Gameboy sometimes too when I'm on the go. It works really well.;)
