Bumbot rocks. There’s a difference between a person who needs help and a professional panhandler.

Dina – I’m glad it’s Spring, too. And, yes, Tom can be a girl… lol. He’s all tough until you bring up cooking – then he goes all metro and loses all his masculinity. haha.

PS. Bacon is overrated… I’ve seen stuff drowned when wrapped in it.

Take a look at B&O’s new 7 chennel IcePower amp; http://www.icepower.bang-olufsen.com/en/solutions/theater/
Looks impressive.

Actually it looks as if that’s the amp module in the new Pioneer Elite SC-09TX receiver

I would expect that they’d put the very best Class D amps in Pio’s new flagship receiver. I’m very interested to see how they meausre.

Bumbot was covered by Steven colbert on Comedy Central-Difference Makers
Just like Mister Foam Finger Makers saluted in beer commercials?

Clint – this one is for you:

Or maybe it's just a phase, like freshmen year of college when I learned I could buy frosting in a can. From xkcd.com

I’d be fine with it if a regular part of this podcast was on how to get my wife to cook grits and bacon.

Bacon is meat candy.

Bacon is magic. If you think of what a pig eats and that it turns into one of the best foods ever invented… it must be magic.
