When that show was on the air, I worked at a TV station in upstate New York (yes, we aired it). Overnight shift - f*cking cold! I quickly learned what a toque was, and why it was my friend. Also learned the value of parking my car in the garage with the remote trucks for an overnight deicing.

Now that I live in Dixieland, I'd still buy one if it had the Daemon on it.
