for me it's not really one place, I did a western pacific cruise "wespac" in the navy. while some of the countries had there strong points, scenery ect. it made me more thankful and realize how lucky I am to be an american.

the microwave, I would make the popcorn button actually pop all the popcorn in the bag without burning it.

I would be the designated driver so everyone could cut loose

Snow or beach?
beach I hate the cold

Windows or Mac?

MEAT!!! I'll take a ribeye anytime

Sprite or water

And finally, your number one rule in life?

Great interview Danny!

I'll need a DD at the party for sure!!!

**Hellgate** · 07-18-2008, 08:43 AM

When you get that adjustable socket figured out let me know, I'll take at least two!

While you're at it, how about an adjustable allen key? All the way from 1.5mm up to 12mm would be just dandy.

Gotta love that R1! Keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up.
