" ... The magnet is good and strong, easily withstanding 75mph on the freeway for extended periods. ... "

" ... It actually makes my bow fang sound better than my Kenwood radio at the fire department ... "
" ... And, no, for those of you wondering, I didn’t accept the proposition for “boom boom.” I mean I think that I would probably enjoy “boom boom” but I don’t want to be a permanent cast member of the Itchy & Scratchy Show so I tend to shy away from such offerings. ... "
