Regarding the picture: If you go to the reddit page and Google the title of the post, Google will show you the picture.

Or simply Google: ITAP of myself... 40 years ago [Portrait]

I like Toronto’s talking Cop Car because they’ve rendered it unable to harass me.

Laws be damned, Wales has a Dragon as a national symbol, it’s even on their flag, because it’s the only beast that can make a cat behave.

Thanks for the ITAP solution BR. I‘m not sure what using a strobe off the ceiling added over another light source, but great picture.

Kirsten Stewart is a walmart knock off of Miss C.

Miss C., can you post the picture on your site? And tell a little about your radio career, and post an early aircheck or two. I'd like to see that.

Thinking about it, potato is still king. Baked, mashed, in soup, in souffles, puffs, chips, and FRIES!
