....and if you guys haven't noticed, my avatar(that Soren so graciously offered up to me in a PM...thanks again Soren), is the back end of a Beck 550 Spyder that is an exact replica of the Porsche James Dean was driving when killed.

According to legend, Mr. Dean had "The King of Customized Cars", George Barris, paint the words "Little B*stard" on the back of it, just before he met his fate in the thing.(if ya look REEEEAAALLL closely you can read it)

And, with the possible exception of the "Little" part of that script, I think we can all pretty much agree that that designation is often pretty much appropriate for Yours Truly around here, RIGHT?!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
