Oak is the Man! He's helped me with numerous projects! They broke the mold when he was born!

Oak... what can a guy say about him that hasn't already been said...
He can turn a wrench, but not a head.
He can make you smile and he won't make you cry.
He has lots and lots of tools, but also knows a few fools.
He can pull a MkGuyver but I've never seen him as a driver.
I'm betting he can Tuna Fish but no way when it comes to a piano...

What does all this mumbo-jumbo mean??? Oak is a super good guy and you'd look a long darn time to find someone better to be around!!

bud!!
