Due to the title of this thread, anything that is NOT subjective doesn't really belong here, if you want to get technical... I'm sure Triode is tired of hearing the same praise over and over... :) So what do you want people to talk about here? I got the distinct impression Triode *wanted* us to

^ Speaking from the Judea People's Front: I missed the sandwich box and duct tape episode. Are there re-runs anywhere? :) Seriously, I'd like to see it. I don't mind trying weird $#!+ if it's not a lot of trouble/messy and is free. Most of the time I undo it anyways.
