NWFlyer 2 #8 March 17, 2009 I heard the Lake Charles guy on NPR.

I was cracking up too when I radioed back a second or two later that YKM wasn't as close as I had thought "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
