    Up your dosage...maybe the percentage will go up a bit :):

    What does the other three say? Or do we want to know?:scared:

    Two are saying something about the masters bidding, the other is speaking some obscure dead language.......
    Something about oui oui mon ami. Laissez-moi tranquille.
    I can't make head nor tails out of it.

    That last one, doesn't sound like Sylvain does it? You'd hear Oreos crunching in the background it was him.

    Leupold (LOO-pold) - American maker of excellent quality scopes.

    Leopold, Aldo (LEE-uh-pold) - One of the founding fathers of conservationism in America.

    It bugs the crap out of me when a hunter says they have a "LEE-uh-pold" scope on their rifle. It's not because they don't know how to pronounce the name of the expensive glass they put on their gun, it's because they have no CLUE who Leopold is, or why he was so instrumental to the hunting we enjoy today. Anyone who hunts or owns land owes it to themselves to read one or more of the collections of Leopold's essays; A Sand County Almanac is a good one to start with and Game Management was THE textbook on the topic for many years.

    Note: Jim Shockey is sponsored by Leupold and they pronounce it correctly in their promotional spots! :)
