martinpare1: wow, where do you and your grouping together friends live? you sure sound like some wild and crazy guys! i'd give you my picks but i play only lp's. so far >2500 polka albums!

Martin: ignore Sluggo and pass the salt. He apparently thinks his glib and condescending remarks add to the discourse, and that other readers find his remarks amusing. I like the idea behind your thread, and respond after I've taken a bit of time to think about your question. Sluggo: why don't you find some other forum where you can share your puerile comments with other adolescent minds? Maybe you can all slay one another with "kaka" jokes........
