Well

Im standing beside some of the DKP cars at Nicks on Friday night, Im speaking with Sarge and a few others and this Guy (Rick) comes throught the crowd, with a mean looking look and says "Are you russell ?" I look at the guys and say yes (now im thinking oh fuck, who did i beat to buy a car, shit the list is too many) he then says wait here...... Now im rarely know for being under pressure but Im thinking LA, terminator, Tar babe, Susan, Julie, Angela, sarah and so on, you getting the picture...... then he returns again and im thinking thats it ive had it and i havent even made classic yet ! and he thrust a white poly bag into my hand thats tied at the top, and now im thinking, shit its drugs or similar..... however to my complete and utter relief it was my "do you lounge tee-shirts !" the risk of threat was over and and my expression of concern faded and he says Hi, Im Rick sorry for the delay in with the teeshirts (which buy the way are excellent) I say, you bastard i was shitting myself i thought you were away to get a gun ! then we share a smile........  i now know he is another nice guy, HONEST !

No problem, here... he was rather cordial and I enjoyed what little conversation we had. Sorry that I didn't hangout and talk more... I was trying to see everything. So much eyecandy to absorb in a few hours.

The only reason the Golden boy doesnt understand me is because his head is full of sawdust from mopping up oil from his car. Tit ! ;)

Oh, a boat anchor? COOL!

Just kiddin', Sarge... for art/photos/videos/graphics, Macs actually serve a purpose. They're well built, too. I'd have one only for photos and vids. For the Internet and everything else, I'll take my trusty P.C. like I've been doing since the early '90s.
