AG, I really do owe you an apology. As a newbie, you couldn't know that I am a smarmy jokester who will sacrifice most anything or anyone for a laugh.

It was also very unfair of me, because I do not know if you are old enough to buy alcohol for yourself or if your community even offers a recycling program.

Yup, still doin' it. I'm sure, like everyone else here, you will appreciate it far more when I do it with someone else.

You are young. You have oodles of time and cash yet to commit to audio/video equipment in the upcoming years. This is a very good place to start and even grow, for years.

Besides, AG, really! If you related this story to one of your friends, and they asked you the screen name of the jerk in question, how do you think they'd respond when you told them his name is SquareBobGodPants? If I could "arrive" here each time in a clown car, I would, but in an expensive suit.

P.S. Thanks, Matt! There's enough irony here for both of us!


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
