I parsed that as “eternally worn etc”.

“I’ll have a double cheeseburger with **mmnh, oh God, yes** , and a large coke.”  
“You want fries with that?”

I imagine you’d get sore after a while, though.

if you go to [sybian.com](http://sybian.com) you will see. It’s not really x-rated, but you might not want to visit it at work, or in front of the kids.

Speaking as an electronics geek who’s actually done the rewired-garage-door-opener thing, I’ve got to admit that my first thought was, “I’ve got to look into this. If I can pull it off, I should be able to trigger every remote-controlled vibrator in a several-mile radius…”

Somewhere in the FCC’s voluminous files, it’s _got_ to say what radio frequency they run on! 😛

Well, retraints weren’t on his list. But I did refer to light bondage and _irishgirl_ did mention silk scarves and handcuffs.

I seen the Sybian featured in, er, various media; it makes this repeated knocking sound not unlike a desktop drumming sound. I guess if a lady could block this sound out, it would be okay.

As a side note on the Sybian, many drummers or musicians will note the similarity between the name Sybian and the well-known cymbal manufacturer Sabian. ( [www.sabian.com](http://www.sabian.com) ) Plenty of nasty surprises were had, I’m sure…😃

It’d be nice if I’d learn to type…

Make it “…see the forum main page when this was next in line…”
