    Come on guys... It costs the government millions of dollars to get someone into witness protection. Why do you guys insist on outing Tony like that? If his cover gets blown one more time, he's gonna end up looking like Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie".

    It always amazes me in these movies that nobody ever aims for the head. :s

  • Now what you folks fail to realize is that Vanilla is a very, very complicated program !
    Sure, it can ban someone within 1 hour if that person says "Booger Eater", but recovering a user's name and password ?
    It's a Herculean task that can only be rectified by magic !!
    .... probably want to throw in a little Vodoo, too, as that really isn't magic.

    Some of my comments have put a bullseye on my back. The Mueller investigation has subpoenaed all my records from Vanilla, so I must be in Vanilla purgatory.

    That's all I can think of.....the only person that knows where I buried things was my dog, and she's dead too. :)

    As a side note, there has been a white plumbers van parked down the street for a few days now. Coincidence ??

    I dunno man, My sonos is fubared, my Netflix is having fits, and my Polk account is fooked up, and I've had Jehovah witnesses come to the door, someone is **** with me.

    That there is funny. Thats why Jehovah witnesses have inverted nipples. Get off my doorstep.

    It’s when those Girl Scout cookie kids come knocking that you have to worry. Lay low Tony, and you will get by.... unless they are already in the house.

    Tony drinks lots of things, but Kool Aide will never happen.

    Its kool aide all the same, just a different flavor.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    My understanding is Vanilla Purgatory was one of the performing names that didn't test well in focus groups held on behalf of this guy.
