Edgar Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The funny thing is ... a few hundred Watts through a pair of Klipsch horn-loaded speakers would have provided more volume. Safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laager Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 To be a contestant for the Darwin Awards one must have removed themselves from the gene pool in some spectacularly idiotic fashion. This one doesn't appear to qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNRabbit Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Don't count him out yet~ Also, there are Honorable Mentions & Nominations for those who've only MAIMED themselves (usually a testicular tragedy thereby removing themselves from the future gene pool)~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
