    Just think of what he could get from transformers at a power station.

    Please, no. The last Transformers movie was bad enough.

    Just goes to show that even the geniuses at the Onion have a bad day once in a while.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Herpes? Transformers movie? Oh no, I can just picture Transformers and Power Station, Optimus Prime and friends dancing around on stage playing Some Like It Hot. Oh no, that's even worse than Marlyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon in an all girl band.

    Ironically my first CB rig was a Citi Fone CD5A which BTW was made by a lesser known Amateur Radio manufacturer, Multi Elmac.

    Heh-heh, that reference was not random. I remembered the brand from the very Pre-Rubber Ducky CB days and was delighted to discover the Multi-Elmac association when I looked it up. My kid radio gang was a mix of both camps, and some were both.

    We argued and ridiculed brands a lot. I recall "Sick Swan" being tossed around for bad audio. "Louseyette Radio" too. Knight Kits got no respect. We thought Clegg VHF stuff was cool, and the Drake T-line.

    in the kid radio gang subsets, the Techs were kind of savvy CBers, big into mobile and local intrigue. Stick in the shack Generals like me were more CW, more Dx & contest Hfers. What a crew!
