Al, what have you become?
« on: August 06, 2014, 1441 UTC »
I was reading Andy Yoder's blog last night. He recently bought three antique radios. Their wasn't a knob to be found on them.

What I found particularly odd, from perusing police and press reports, is missing radio knobs have become common in your old environs. It's even happened to me. I came home roughly four months ago to find the passband knob for my Drake R-4 gone and a sour, moldy odor in the room.

Get help, Al, before we have to do another intervention.

Knobs want to be free, and I am just their agent.

As my old friend Shakespeare said: "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the knobs of war". The time is arriving.

By the way, I just watched "Dahmer vs. Gacy". A classic; I highly recommend it.

Dahmer vs. Gacy, eh? You know darned well I don't share your enthusiasm for pro wrestling.

I checked Ebay today, roughly one in seven radios is missing some or all of it's knobs. Get help, Al.
