What’s the Hardest Thing You Ever Had to Give-Up?
Let me start by saying this is one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do - I've been a smokeless tobacco chewer for 20 plus years. I recently got strep throat and it kind of scared me into thinking it could be something worse one of these days - like throat cancer!

How Much $$ Would You Pay For A HDTV?!? [VIDEO]
I have a 39-inch HDTV that I paid about $700 for – and it about bankrupted me.
Do you love your TV enough to pay $10,999.99 for it?
That's what you're going to pay if you buy the world's largest HDTV by Sharp. This thing is 90 inches and totally loaded complete with 3D capability – plus it comes with 3D glasses and built in WiFi! You can mount this big boy on the wall because it is only 5 inches thick.
So start saving your $$$ if you want to buy this huge 90 inch HDTV!

Should Steve Horn Get His 1st Tattoo For His 40th Birthday?!? [POLL]
WBKR friends - I need your help! I figured since I am in radio (and you can't see me) that it would be ok for me to get a tattoo. I turn 40 on July 11th and have always wanted a tattoo, but I’m not 100% sure.
I have been at WBKR since 1989 - maybe I should get WBKR tattooed on me? Lol
Please take my POLL and help me with my decision.
Thanks!
