I got your joke milkweg. I was just playing along, that's all. and no i don't get the reference though the chicken looks familiar.

He's Foghorn Leghorn and he used to say "it was a joke, son". They still show his cartoons on RetroToon channel.

Ah k. Pity they don't have that down in this part of the world!!

every thing i have, ive paid for my self, no way in hell my parents would pay for any audio gear. I mainly referee youth lacrosse and football, which pay great, but i still have to save up for a long while to afford any high priced items. I always have to make sure i will have enough money left over before making a purchase to make sure i have enough money for food, gas, movies, and other activities.

I think it makes you value your possessions a lot more also! You guys are lucky b/c I also worked during summers but had to give my parents the money I made. I'd say I got less than 10% or each paycheck and that would get to meals/transportation to and from work. It's a different world today I guess, but then again I'm only 25 hahah.
