Everything in life is not a contest, and his HT is very cool, not just from a performance point of view (which I suspect is also true) but also from a decor/theme point of view. It managed to be functional and personal. Not my taste, but I certainly respect the quality of implementation and wouldn't turn down a chance to visit.

Also, I find it useful to remember that in many cases, it's not what we say, but how we say it that matters. Just FYI and YMMV.
