  The corporeal being that was @TonyB still walks this terrestrial globe... but in cyberspace,his bits have, it seems, all been reset to zero.
  
  
  
  We still hope for a digital resurrection.

  After winning the award for "Best in show" at LASF one year, Tony actually took a photo of my "rig" for his safekeeping. Last I heard, he will not erase that photo....it means so very much to him.

  He was a pr ick, never liked the guy.
  
  Always yackin' about cables, running around with no pants, locking himself out of everything he owns, house, cars, online accounts....chasing flying squirrels around in the middle of the night in his underwear, taking unsavory pictures of naked men, sending people dead fish in their mailboxes...
  
  Who does those things ?
  
  Guy's elevator didn't go all the way up, know what I'm sayin' ?

  I bought an Italian Ice Cone one time. Turned out to be a waste of money. Damn thing melted within 5 minutes.
  
  Went back to get a refund and the Italian wanted to break my tumbs. He stated that I should just Fuggett about it or some s***! The nerve of that guy.

  No, but if you went back a second time, that would make you a mas-o-chist.
