Thank you sir! I appreciate that.


I don't have any quick pictures of me, but if you want, you can listen to me on the radio! I'm a radio disc jockey in Kansas City. I've been on the radio here for 36 years! Listen from 10-3pm Central every Saturday and Sunday at www.101TheFox.net. You'll hear Steve Garrett, so don't let that throw you off.....it's me.

However, unlike bungee jumping, these vines aren’t elastic and a miscalculation in vine length could lead to broken legs, cracked skulls, or even death. (We lose more Mods that way)

After this, they live in seclusion from adults of the opposite sex for four to 24 weeks.

When the emerge from seclusion they place their hands into mittens filled with hundreds of bullet ants. The bite is approximately 20 times more painful than being stung by a wasp. The Admins will gather the ants and submerge them into a solution that temporarily knocks them out. The ants are then woven into the mittens. The new Mods will place their hands into the mittens and dance for 10 minutes. The ant’s sting prevents the body from protecting itself from pain. The body begins to convulse, and the pain can last up to 24 hours

Once the Mods prove themselves able to withstand these trials, they are given The Ban Hammer
You forgot the part about getting MODERATOR tatooed on their forehead.

Thanks Dan! Jay Wolfe Acura is where I bought my Type S! I know everyone at the dealership. I'll tell them that you said hi.






By the way, I should have new pictures of the Stingray for you guys later today. It's at Hendrick Chevrolet now-it's getting lowered and aligned, the Lashway Carbon Fiber side skirts and splitter are getting installed. Plus, a couple of small things are getting fixed today.

Dan, Lee is the managing partner at the dealership. I'm not sure about Steve Maher.

I have a Silver automatic Type S.

Here is a picture of the 2 two new bunkmates.
