He doesn't wear one as time stands still when he works on engines. Why do you think there is a year+ waiting time. Cha ching! Couldn't help myself.

People will be people - there will always be something at every level. I personally will argue to great lengths about which domestic light beer I prefer. gnat can back this statement up.

Is a good beer really as nice as a great watch? Come on... really? They all look alike anyway! I'm sure they prolly taste alike too... so why spend money on the "good expensive stuff" when you could have "Billy Beer"!!!?
