As for the question about Quid, it's just slang for Pound in the U.K., man. Kind of like "Buck" for Dollar over here.

Thats cool! I play for a number of Indie Christian bands (studio), some big, some small. I have a home studio with a 32 piece DW setup and a Roland TD-20S electric for some non-traditional sounds. I utilize pro-tools and have a Mac G5 to run it with. I probably could have paid my way through college but I had to pay for all this junk first. :)

That is very true. Or Billy Ward. He is one of my favorites. The setup I use is a single 28" Kick with 16" custom built Sub. I use DW 5000 double bass pedals. I don't think the pic I posted is a real playable kit. I mean, maybe for dual players but not a single. Huge kits like that are nothing but bling.

Don't forget to turn your hand sideways when you fire that 9mm. I've heard if you wear your pants around your knees you are more accurate....

Ironically I've been one of the biggest bashers of 9mm on this board. After holding the gun, I think I may be wrong, for this gun at least.
I'll get a report back to you guys when I've fired it.

I received the extreme joy of knowing the dog liked the $2 orange monkey I bought him better than the huge, crazy-looking, expensive octopus my sister gave him :D
(We don't have young kids in the family anymore, so the dog gets spoiled instead :) )
Oh, and I got the usual clothes, a little cash, etc... My aunt gave all us guys nice ties she picked up on her cruise near Italy this year too.
And of course, since none of my bosses really drink, they gave me all the booze the clients brought in this year :aok

57 inch Hitachi with HDTV Tuner surround sound and DVR W00T!
But it doesn't compare with the phone calls or the news that a mother is cancer free.
Best gifts don't come wrapped and usually cost very little.
Peace of mind is the best gift anyone can get.
-
Got an '06 Saturn VUE AWD 6cyl loaded to the gills with everything but a sunroof. It came down to that or a Chevrolet 2500HD Crew cab and the sheer dollar value won out. Plus I got an earlier present of a bunch of new hardware that is listed over in the Hardware and Software forum; along with clothes for work, and lots of gift cards to Best Buy, Compusa and local book stores. Oh and I bought a Pentax K100D for my wife and I since she already had several zoom lenses from her 35mm Pentax and they will work with the new digital camera.
BUT most of all I got to be Santa Claus for my two son's and that is the best thing there is.
-
My eldest grand daughter got me a black leather steering wheel cover ..with bright yellow flames .. for the Vette.
It fit perfectly :)
Neice got me a windshield sunshade .. black .. with bright yellow flames.. for the Vette :)
Wife got me a can of Astroshield (glaze that *really* made the Vette shine!)
Ya . . I love drivin it .. wife loves drivin it .. other Vette owners wave when we pass .. people come outta nowhere to chat .. and hiway 89 outta Prescott is just a frik-kin *blast* to drive.
Looks like I will be runnin the Pro class at Speedworld for next season's Summit E.T. Bracket series .. in the Vette :)
Man it has been decades since I campaigned .. and could look at a calendar and mark the days I will be there, racin .. all the way to October.
Life is good.

Why would anyone actually WANT to move to Hoboken??
The movers just picked up my stuff at my house in OHIO 30 minutes ago. Next stop... Weehawken/Hoboken! I'll end up driving out there on the 31st.
Ya, the $5k is already gone with the movers and the security deposits and realtor fees... ouch!

LOL they dont call it the most expencive state in the union to live in for nothing LOL
And its gotten worse.
If you own a house here and sell and attempt to move out fo the state.
You get hit with an Exit tax.
Meaning you have to actually pay the state to move to another state.
Welcome back!
Now sing the Crazy Eddie song
Every True Jerseyan knows the Crazy eddie song LOL
-
For those who dont know what the hell Im talking about when I mention the Crazy Eddie song
Crazy Eddie Doo wop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd2SkPJGOIk&NR)
Crazy Eddie is better known as Eddie Antar
Whom some of you may have heard of
this commercial was classic
