Listen, brucie...

For the record, the "Beam me up" is from former Representative Jimmy Traficant who represented Youngstown, Ohio until he was arrested and convicted of mis-appropraiting some $$$...

Anyway, check him out... He bought all his clothes at Goodwill... He cut his own hair... He was a complete hoot... But what he was best known for were his 1 minute rants on the House of Representatives which he did every day... They always made a lot of sense and at the end of each one he would say "Beam me up, Scotty"...

There you have it... It's blue-collar and I loved Jimmy's rants... My kinda guy... Too bad about the misunderstanding that got him jailed but I'm sure that, seein' as he pissed of every House member at least once, they were glad to be rid of him... Not me...
