    ROFL That secret only came out when we were moving 'memorabilia' from his mom's basement and there was a bunch of NKOB stuff in a shoe box... For a gift one year their dad mailed everyone in the family a box of promo crap... Thankfully, we're on the side of the family that prefers extreme sports, drinking and gambling... lol
