What about if it burns when I pee?

Sounds like you're enjoying your wood a bit too much.

It probably burns when she pees, too.

But I love me a good Michael Scott reference.

It burns for other reasons but that's a different story.

I had a manager that looked just like Michael Scott and he actually gave me a Michael speech one time. Needless to say the resemblance is uncanny I'll try to snake a picture of him some time.

I'm wary of any reviews done by publications. By their very nature, publications are heavily reliant on advertising dollars. Companies that pump a bunch of advertising dollars into a publication like to see their products/services portrayed in a positive light. It's just the nature of the business.

I read them just like everyone else, but I always take them with a grain of salt.

To the TS, how many Never Summer or Bataleon ads have you seen in Transworld? Now, how many Burton ads have you seen? Exactly. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

it was more valid back in the day when the boards everyone tested were blanks .. everyone has preconceived notions about a company and that has to effect your judgment... i dont have an issue with burton having 3 of the top boards in the over 400 category .. they have a huge amount of money to spend on " exotic " materials and r&d therefore they can more easily produce a high tech 1200 board than say a company like artec or signal. I think the big list is the under 400 because that allows even the smaller companies a chance to compete and as you can see you do get a more varied list of companies there...
