    Without your beard, you look like Mike Rowe from the "Dirty Jobs" series.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    "I am Sparta-Russ."

    I think "Juda Russ Hur" is that guys name.

    Here's Spartacus from the original first movie.

    I agree with you Steve... time to give it a rest. Russ has taken a pounding here like the good sport he is, but we have had our fun.

    Besides, everybody knows April Fools Day was oringinally known as Russ Day. :p

    FWIW... Russ , even though we have yet to break bread, and raise a glass, it is an honor to call you a friend. I look forward to shaking your hand someday and thanking you in person for all you do not only here on the forum, but for what you do for others.

    You get into a truck and head into the maelstrom and deal with crap that would kill in an instant just to make sure the rest of us knuckleheads can flip a switch and listen to music, watch a football game, or have power to keep those machines on that save lives.

    You are a hero to many of us here, myself included.

    To close this thread out and in the spirit of The Breakfast Club, let us not forget vice principal Richard Vernon.
