OMG, that's a great story Shane!!  I was laughing reading that... And Man, you are quick with that phone, you must have been a paparazzi or something to be that quick with a phone camera.


and Eaglefreek, I LOVE that commercial... it cracks me up everytime.  I love how he widens his eyes trying to focus on his wife...    :rotfl:

I'm sure you'll find more than one of us in the dog house when you get there Shanebo!  We can swap Eagle stories while we're folding clothes.

My wife will probably put one of those Home Again chips in my neck while I'm sleeping, like she did with our troublesome beagle...when I'm routin' around junk yards and fly by night dealerships looking for my next amc the employees will probably scan me with one of those wands and call her to come pick me up.
