    I heard about this from Marvel Entertainment's "Agent M".

    Still, I cannot help but wonder what happens when you put one of these through the dry cleaners. #sonicties

    With the added size of that case, someone should try to build in some added functionality, like a battery pack.

    On every mix tape (recorded from your "record player" or radio) in 1979 were: Led Zepplin, Peter Frampton and the theme from Saturday Night Live.

    their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze!

    But, funny little birds, they had no wings!

    O what shall we do with the funny little things?

    Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot;

    fry them, boil them and eat them hot?
