JR "Unplugged"

[george kennie]

Yeah Bill,
That's exactly what I've been doing with all these goodies.I don't know
if you know this fellow personally, but he's a very special individual.I
once was critical of his execution of a specific maneuver and his
responce was to request more criticism. Seriously. How many guys are
that big? Not me, that's for sure. I love this guy!
