Go fishing at the spa.

Or...go spa-ing with the fish?

$70-$80 each, cool?

Used. Asking price $10,500 Retail price $21,500

Sure it has two tonearms but, the extra tonearm is "only" $2,200 or so new without a cartidge.

And that is not even close to their top end that retails over $50k.

The Evolution of ORD

[kluurs]

@George-K
I went to the grand opening of ORD with my family and said hello to Mayor Richard J. Daley. The GM of ORD was a close relative of the Mayor - and a friend of my father.

Consistent with my experience.

Easily removable staples.

How the hell did I not know this until today?

So now I learn that, at a point in my life where I’ll probably use a stapler 3 more times.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows this.

Interesting fact about Arnold: "Despite living and working in America and even running a small part of it for a few years, Arnold Schwarzenegger still speaks with the same thick Austrian accent that endeared him to us when he was punching out the Predator in the '80s.

This particular quirk of the Governator's life has mystified and perplexed fans for years because surely by now, he's been in America long enough to lose his accent.

Well apparently he has. In an interview with The Daily Mail following the release of Terminator Genisys, the T-800 revealed that he's perfectly capable of speaking English sans his accent but doesn't because fans expect him to speak like he does in all his movies. This makes sense, as in his own autobiography, Schwarzenegger notes that he had hours of personal lessons with acclaimed dialect coach Robert Easton shortly after coming to America to learn how to enunciate more clearly."
