Wonderous work Dale. I can't believe an LS with the neck snapped off... That has to be particularily rewarding. AND, you get to play the hell out of it before sending it back! In the dark in front of a mirror! :D ;)

Many of us witnessed and became Pubglo as well, Aitch! Image

Fantastic work Dale, thanks for sharing! The decapitated LS photo was more than a bit disturbing though. But thanks to Dr. Dale, all is well.

Dale, too bad about not getting the supply sent along with it.

Aitch, lessen your chances of breaking your neck by stopping sticking it out! :D

I hope none of these were caught up in a nasty divorce?

Paul, not to bum you anymore, but from what we've seen here, that would have been very repairable, though I wouldn't have thought so before seeing this thread either.
