    Didn't an X-Clan member sell their records on e-bay? The scary this is can you get that sickness from records? That has crossed my mind, I guess it's good to clean up that record room and open those windows.. Though mainly most % of that sickness has happened in college dorms and rooms with closed quarters???? Well regardless dudes catch phrases did stick in my head for years...
