    Maybe the guy's thinking we could use them as speaker boxes in an all house DIY sound system? Solid concrete has got to be high in its anti-resonant characteristics....

    Right. Really this is a STEALLLLL.

    I don't think there should be any problem with that. I'd do it myself if I could, but I have a tanning session and a manicure, perhaps a waxing as well, need to die my hair, have my eyelashes done, oh...and did I say that I have to "shampoo my hair" so really....not tonight.

    You're right. I've always wondered why none of us has been 'clever' enough to sign in as 'NEWB' on their first post. It would certainly help with all those 'problems' that the older guys have.

    I'm all for the newb/Guru divide! Damn those newbs! Myself and everyone else! What a bunch of 'jokers'! Newbositors...audio-pretenders. Guys that take everything too seriously, and 'so easily seem to offend'..the veterans. A POX on us! BAN THE NEWB!!!

    Here's one of my favorite Best of Craigslist

    WANTED: ROADKILL
    http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nfk/1000672204.html

    The text:

    I want your roadkill. Why, might you ask? Simple. I drive around and regularly see 1-2 deer a week on the side of the road, rotting. Since an average deer has about 80-120 pounds of usable venison on it, its a shame that all that meat is wasted. Plus, you can't normally buy venison, so unless you have a hunting friend or hunt yourself (or pay crazy prices at a restaurant), you can never enjoy the lean, tasty meat that is venison.

    So, here's my offer. If you happen to hit a deer (or larger animal, although I don't think we have many of those in southern Virginia), you can bring the animal to me, and I'll carve it up for you, and split the meat 50/50. I hunt, and I do my own butchering, so it doesn't take too long for me, and I enjoy it. Since hunting season is now passed, I'd like something to occupy my time, while also filling my freezer.

    There are rules though, like anything else in life:
    1. It has to be a deer or bigger. I'm not carving up a flat squirrel for you.
    2. It must be less than a day old. God only knows what happens to the carcass after a day of sitting there.
    3. You have to call the police after your accident. The cops come out and issue you a permit so that you legally own the deer. It's quick, and it keeps it legal (I'm not carving up poached animals, and if you poach, you should rid the world of your sorry existence).
    4. You bring the animal to me (I'm in Suffolk), and I do the rest, and call you when its done. If you live in Suffolk, or hit the deer in Suffolk, I could come to you, but I'm not driving to VA Beach at 10 pm at night.
    5. I'll cut up the animal and give half the meat to you in sealed bags. I'll even label it, so you'll know what cuts you're getting. You eat it and enjoy!

    Of course, you may feel odd eating roadkill. I mean, that's a redneck thing, right? Absolutely untrue. For starters, you're using meat that would normally be wasted, so its good for the environment. Venison is leaner (deer don't sit on big farms eating corn), healthier (no injected hormones here!), and tastier (there is no such thing as "gamey" meat. That's just anti-hunters trying to justify themselves) than beef. Plus, you get it for nothing (except whatever your car insurance deductible is, if you decide to file a claim). All these positive reasons are sure to impress your hippie friends, if you are unfortunate enough to have some.

    Drop me an email (I check it all the time, so replies won't take long) when you hit a deer. If you're a police officer and want my phone number (since you probably get calls all the time), you can email me and I'll give you my cell number. If its late, you can always temporarily store the animal at your house and bring it over when I get back to you.

    Start enjoying the meat of your unfortunate labors!
