The quality is quite poor, but I’m reasonably sure that being able to talk to at people sounds worse.

Having said that, the idea of CB radio is cool.

I don’t open my trap unless I am positive I know the answer.

This is is a remarkably valuable skill, and remarkably rare.

I’ll stay quiet even in that case if it looks like the answer’s close to the surface of the conversation anyway.

The app is just that Family Guy colour chart.

To you the day Raul Julia starred in Street Fighter was the most important day of your life, to me it was a Tuesday.
