True, My aunt’s TV antenna was struck by lightning, the exterior wall where the wires went through caught on fire, and the picture tube exploded (at the rear, thankfully) while my sister and I were watching it. So, the top of the antenna was maybe 30’ max from where I was. TNP sometimes needs to speak in a pidgin dialect. ---

You betcha. It took me forever to learn to speak English clearly, and the speaking part of my French class was the only C I ever got. TNP has never read the Bible. ---

I’ve seen parts of it, clips of it, ads for it. I know he jumps over the camera when he cases a perp and he deals out two fisted justice, but I have never actually seen an episode from beginning to end. The next poster is a maniac, maniac on the floor. ---
