His heads made so much power poor little Harley cases were cracking. If you can find his stuff today. You hit pay dirt.

It can't all be gold nuggets. My real objection to thread drift is when someone comes up with something really good, but it gets buried/lost under a totally unrelated title. I certainly am not suffering under the delusion that all my drivel is sacrosanct!

SHK University. Didn't finish in the normal time. Still at it.

School of Hard Knocks...you've probably heard of it.

You usually don't use a lot of them there big words....usually a bunch of 4-letter words.
