Thanks for that link, Jeff. That video was way cool!

Am I the only one here, but doesn't it sound like the words that are coming out of the driver as he speaks sound like words being played backwards on an audio tape or a record? Maybe he was actually coming down the mountain and they just played the tape backwards? Oh well, that's what it sounds like to me.

John....that link that Lewis posted is where I bought mine from (which I am sure you noticed from the pic I posted). They were stocking stuffers in my family!

The proper way to pronounce it, and the proper attitude to pronounce it with, is like Dieter's (Mike Meyers) On Saturday Night Live.

Okay, now that your credibility is shot, I'm beginning to question your claim that your avatar is actually a photo of your "ball and chain". This girl looks different from the one you had up there before, and the one before that. Not that I'm complaining. I like this one's looks the best. But I have a feeling you'll be able to top her soon.

So you did. Guess I missed it. And no, I don't do drinking binges. That's another figment of your imagination.

Your mother, eh? How nice. Guess I should have known you were a Momma's boy.

Ha ha. Very funny. Your false claim wouldn't even hold up in a kangaroo court.

If you hadn't edited your post after I made mine, you might have a case. I captured exactly what you had originally said in the enclosed quotation. And anyone can clearly see that your edit "time stamp" postdates my post.

I'll give you points for creativity.....Momma's boy.

i was just watching a Porsche-sponsored golf tournament on TV, and the announcer pronounced Porsche as Porsh, one syllable. Guess he didn't read this thread...
