Also,k Chris, I think we should have a permanent thread dedicated to the ads here. I understood where the "cycling ringtones" ad came from, even if I don't understand what they could possibly be. Now, however, this page returned an ad for "Annual British Horse Race Ringtones." Can't you or Drew break out some of that petty cash you're hearding away and find out what it is? Surely it is amazing.

Yeah
I do have a true story about Thailand, mushrooms, and two water buffalo, but this is neither the time nor the place. Suffice it to say those things are bigger than cars and brook no nonsense.
