Damn! Here's hoping you're back on the grid very soon!

I actually spit tea on my monitor!

I wonder if it was hard to Orca-strate?

Twas in response to Shelly's comment about mutes needing good gear too. That reminded me of Speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil. Liked this modern version.

Happy 23rd Birthday! Damn you're gettin' old!

Puhleeze Sistaz! No piping of a contrasting color, no glossy fabric choices, no obvious cologne pouch... Fem? I think not honey!

Fitz, between my Carpentry skills and your mechanical savvy, we're really confusing those that base their understanding of homosexuals on stereotypes. That and Shelly not being an unattractive, lower voiced gal, with a flat top haircut. Show a little compassion and talk about shoes now and then.

I've done some work for Rob on a few occasions. He was pleasant and easy to work for. I also don't believe Rob has any malicious intent. I think he's a trustworthy guy, that anyone could feel comfortable buying from or selling to. I also don't think rob is a shill. Rob seems to make a comfortable enough living to buy whatever gear tickles his fancy (within reason of coarse). I don't personally find his reviews to be all that accurate. I never walk away feeling like I have a better grasp on a product after reading them, though I do admit he's getting better with time. I've always felt that Rob's motivation for his reviews had more to do with his social standing on HF than a real desire to impart important information. That however is just my opinion, and I've been wrong numerous times before. Not that I see that as any great crime at any rate, as I feel most of us suffer from the same desire of popularity to some degree. The danger I see is probably something that Rob has never considered. When you reach a status such as his, many people will base their purchasing decisions weighed heavily by his reviews of a given product. That's fine in most circumstances, but I've seen numerous times how members can turn a personal relationship with a vendor into a blind fellowship. Products A, B, C and D were all great, so therefore product E must also be great. Many vendors we've trusted in the past most likely started out with good intentions, but the need to keep the money coming can most certainly change those intentions, and most of us have seen that more than once. When the fallout started with SinglePower, there were many that contributed to the continued wallet raiding, just because their blind fellowship and their status obscured the reality. I doubt any of it was intentional, but it did cost people money. Just my two cents.

Well your cold weather has made it here in the form of a front. Today will be a high of 69. Yay cold fronts!!! Finally some comfortable weather!

Sorry about your bad news Jacob. I hope things improve.

You know, I think you just nailed it. That pretty much sums it up IMO.

Skylab is a ROCK STAR and you people should be ashamed for tarnishing his good name!

Welcome back Nenso! I kind of like it when you ruffle grawk's feather a little bit. I think he does too.

^ Nenso! Back from the dead?

That sucks! Get better soon!

Your newscaster must be gay then, because IME it's usually straight guys who claim 9", when it's really much closer to 5".

Not sure when is normal for you East coasters. In Anchorage we could usually expect to have permanent snow on the ground by late October. And that would last until mid April. Everyone knows I'm not the biggest fan of Texas, but I do enjoy the winters here.

We're gonna need a bigger budget!

Then you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around...

Naw, Biggie's teeth aren't that sharp.

If you do I'd recommend the record 'Chicken Soup With Rice' by Carol King.
