My God, I did not realize how much I missed Ling Man until I read through those again. :uplaugh:

I had tears streaming down my face from the bracelet debate!!!!
That is the answer to Roff's prior inquiry about what the Source needs: more pot-stirrers like LM used to be.

Those were the days with characters like ling man, count, justin stone, and Archie, what a crew....I remember the video Archie did calling out sharkman, I was in tears....and the heated debate with count about how wearing a ling makes you a target to be kidnapped. Good times on bsource!!

"That ####ing toady toad! Sharkman got me banned. ###k you Sharkman, you ####ing toady toad." I laughed so hard at that poor sot.

Speaking of sots, Ling Man did another video where he "explained" to Sharkman what proper shoes look like. Shot in his closet or something. It was pretty funny too. But then it disappeared.

But I don't think anything made me laugh more than the debate over whether wearing a Breitling created an unreasonable risk of being kidnapped.

Ah yes, when Brielting passion was so high it brought out the best and worst in us. They were the best of times; they were the worst of times. But they were always damn entertaining. :strummin:

Archie and the "toadie toad" video was pure comedy. That guy was completely out of his mind. He probably got brain damage from sniffing too many Louis V bags.

Back to the CEO topic, I would definitely reevaluate the visual aspect of all the pieces and try to go back to the company's roots. No more DLC, rubber, or infinite number "special editions." As a second choice, I'd alter the pricing strategy. Breitling has priced itself into a different echelon of manufacturers that I don't think it can compete with from a technical standpoint. When I can either choose from a Breitling or a JLC for the same price, there is definitely a problem.
