Default Editorial: Truth, Lies, and OPRA

[Thinker1]Just when you thought he had finally gotten fired for trying to steal Gene’s speakers, Clint’s projector, or J’s… um Mac? OPRA is back with a load of… advice? As always, keep a large grain of salt on hand as he dispenses “wisdom” as only he can. Read on… if you dare!

*LOL* Great article.

There is also a serious side - think of how much money you save when you buy a kit of parts, and build a box yourself from materials you buy at your local hardware store :- no payout for shipping of big heavy boxes, no payout for boner factor brand names, just a cracking speaker for little money and a bit of cuttin' and gluein'

Official Provider of Related Advice. When our new website goes up, I was told that OPRA might get his own area. Regardless, it will be a lot easier to search for his editorials after the new site goes live. This is the first article. I believe this latest one is number 8.

I'm a little confused After stripping the sarcasm from the article, the message I seemed to get was that boners are bad...

...But I like having a boner
