Tom Tangney & John Curley could arguably be the defacto cure to those times when you're actually longing to hear "relatives arguing during the holidays". For me, their stark dichotomy, feathered an underlying mutual respect harkens back to when I'd sit across the room, listening to Dad & Uncle Kenny go at over the subject of choice.. 'Au Contraire Mon Frere' That is to say that, I totally dig it! If you so happen to reside in the Puget Sound Realm, you'll likely agree with either Tom or Curley at one point or another, but the best moments are when you agree with both or neither. That's what I call, "Consternation of Enlightenment" ~ CheerZ BoyZ ~ Crassman..
