I think $125 is a heck of a deal for 1000' of SPT2Yup ... They do... I just ordered some from them on Sunday .... Hope it comes soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Rise Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This all seems pretty simple to me. All Yankee has to do is acknowledge on his page, all the websites that he took the pictures from.ie...."Special thanks to yadda, yadda.com for allowing me to use their pictures."It's obvious that he copied the pictures, why he won't admit it, who knows. Pretty sad actually. But to then copyright them as his own.....Not sad, more like pathetic.Can we get back to the Thread now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didn't want my "extension" cords "outshining" the display! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it now.You should listen to a song called: "Never make a pretty woman your wife" by Barnes and Barnes. Funny song, explains it well. LOLAnd to remain on "extension cords", I still get mine at Wal-Mart, 6' cords for around .96¢-.98¢ each. Come in either brown or white. Although I try to avoid the white ones whenever possible, but will use them in areas that are not highly visible locations for obvious reasons.

LOLYou're probably thinking of "If You Want to be Happy" by Jimmy Soul:Interesting, same song, but I bought this on a "cassette" tape that was by "Barnes & Barnes", looked at the Wikepedia and the song is not listed there under Barnes and Barnes, but it is labeled on the old Cassette and titled "Never Make a Pretty Woman Your Wife". I forget the Cassette's title cover, but know it had big bold Barnes and Barnes on the original cover.When did Jimmy Soul do this song? I bought this tape back in, or around 1978-1980 time frame. And is why I had said it was from Barnes and Barnes, since that's the only artist name listed on the cassette tape itself. First time I ever heard the song was on the old Dr. Demento radio show, who also stated it was by Barnes and Barnes. So now I'm wondering who really did it first? I think the Barnes and Barnes lyrics might be slightly different in some areas. Haven't listened to the song in quite some time, so can't be too sure on the lyrics. But sounds pretty much the same.
