Perry, this must be the famous ODIM brother, can you persuade him to join our motley crew? We'd love to benefit from his collection of witty saying and reposts, much like huny's cute [and homely] sayings I just can't get enough.

I have tried to get my brother to join; and sometimes send him links to some of our threads. However, when he isn't busy writing copy, he ogles old guitars and frequents some motorcycle bulletin boards. (He claims that some of the cyclists show some pretty snappy reparte in their postings.)
