    For George....

    4 12" drivers blowing your hair back is manly....and there is no substitution for radiating surface area and a man's amp.

    When his new atomic clock that he got for Christmas a few years back didn't work, he called and let them know............."The atomic part won't work, so I notified the company via e-mail, being careful to mention I am highly experienced in the area of atomic clocketry, because I have several that I've been using for years."

    "The "meteorological specialist" on Channel 6 (ABC) here in the South Jersey/Filthadelphia area is a piece of candy with legs attached. Man is she hot. Dumb as a stick too. She's a marathon runner, so once she got a look at my Lucky Strike habit, somebody would have to whack her in the knee so I could catch her. That would be fine with me. I'd chloroform that girl in a minute if I could get close enough.

    I 'd give Diane Sawyer a shot if she asked nicely. She looks like she'd be real soft to the touch."

    Is it me, or is too much of this happening on this forum:

    Person #1 - "Hi my name is Codfish and I currently have a Toyota. I'm THINKING of buying a Lexus but it might be a financial stretch. Does anybody have any experience with these? Thanks."

    Person #2 - "Hey, try the Rolls-Royce. I read that they're okay, but expensive."


    Is this HELPING anyone?

    "Beer sucks. Tastes real bad. Real bad. Never acquired a taste for it, and to be brutally honest, when you guys turn sideways in the mirror, I'll bet you wish you never did either. I have a rum/cognac figure."

    From a 2001 thread Micah started about purchasing online (which was not as common then...)

    "Chloroform, lime, big trash bags. Stuff like that I like to order online.

    I didn't really correspond with him much but there was this thread dealing with hats and I posted a picture of a somewhat " Metrosexual" piece of head wear and he told me I would get my butt kicked if I wore something like that in his neighborhood.
    I got a chuckle and knew I liked the guy.

    I think it was either the bumble bee, or the jet engine, that does not work on paper. Both technologies seem to operate fine in day to day applications, they just don't work on paper. Moral of the story.... Don't listen to paper.

    Awesome, Lou. Since you were there, I've got to ask: Anyone get stabbed that day?

    I'm pretty sure I was there too, correct me if I'm wrong, Lou. I think that was the first time I met you too.

    I think I had my father in law with me at the time too.

    Nobody got stabbed but George's neighbor had people in stitches.

    Last time I saw a picture of a group of people that looked like this, was when I was in high school. It was a motivational poster to keep kids from dropping out.

    yes John, I believe you were there, and while no one got stabbed, I can swear Anthony came close by saying something...for the life of me I can't remember it
