Wow, Wes, talk about "here we go again". Folks, you might want to go back to this thread and start working forward. Or do a search of the Forum using tiple as the subject. The tiple is legendary around these parts. I think the first mention happened in 1998 when someone mentioned they were looking for one. That got Rick going which got Spaw going, which got the whole fandamned site going. This spawned a whole host of inventions, including the Amish mustache something or the other. Part of the lore, as they say.
