    I used to get paid to test those Zeus drives out of Ross. Would kick up mud in the middle of the harbor.

    Wonder how long it takes them to hit the THT Classifieds with 31hrs on a set because somebody introduces something else.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Then getting stranded in the worst possible place. Put lipstick on a pig...it’s still a pig. Of course this is based on the fact that mercury outboards sucked ass in the 70s. Yup, I can hold a grudge.
