    Dear Government, eventually the people with money will tell you to fuck off, and stop paying for those that don't work

              Why are you smoking two cigars? Also, did you duct tape the camera do your head or did someone else take the picture for you?

                A good cigar deserves a good Scotch.

                    I have a couple boxes of cubans, when do you want to come over? I could also share some of my 25 year balvenie scotch if you share some of your macallan? Remember, it is not about he fairness of the sharing.

                    The cost difference in scotch could be made up in the fact that I have 25 of the Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva 2003. Which seem to go for nearly $100 stick these days

                          That cooler looks kinda small, how much cfm is it supposed to flow? Those turbos are going to spool instantly though, that thing is going to be fun as hell.

                            It is pretty small. If it doesn't cut it I have some other tricks up my sleeve. Guys are reporting good IATs with these using whipple 3.4s though.

                              Sounds like a plan after the first. We can drink, smoke and bench race TCS style.
