    AND........Irb had one in his bus!!!!

    Now all I gotta get is a few DX-100's and S-40's plus a desk Kilowatt...then start making maple syrup and I'll be just like him. That'd be cool.
    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.

    Black robed gangsters?
    Jesus and Jefferson?
    Listening on the outside speaker?
    CQ America?

    Lots of luck with that.

    Yea, and I forget the sound of wind chimes and, of course, Ethan.

    But I can always go to the bank, where there is "no sounder deposit!"

The Drake Twins are like the '57 Chevy I keep in the garage to take out for on the weekends. Or will, once I get them on the air. I'm still in the cleaning stage at the moment.
    nah... You park the ricebox in the garage and take it out only on occaisional weekends. You put the oldies on the road everyday ;)

    3 things that really turned me off about Irb

    1) His complete and total stubbornness.
    2) His drowning of his dog Ethan.
    3) His condemnation of those who died on 911.

    If his dog was so sick it had to be euthanised couldn't he have chosen a more humane way of going about it ?

    I don't think he believed in doctors. Which in the end probably lead to his demise
