The Monkey

I drank Hendricks martinis tonight. I ate olives.

Dewar's rocks on the Acela to DC. Blech. Shouldve had the DFH.

Me too. Although for some reason I ordered the hard cover not anticipating that it would be available as an...iBook.

Who made you the boss?

How does the school list look thus far?

It's a pain in the ass to ship stuff ex-US.

Ah, I wasn't considering the customs form on the US end. Off to read US Customs law I go! Edit: I really don't want to pack for this trip tomorrow...

Are we talking about a duty levied on importing something back into Iceland after it had been exported temporarily? If so, I think there are probably a few waivers and/or outright exemptions applicable. At least that's what I think after reading a couple of pages of Iceland's customs laws. At the risk of continuing this disagreement, I would be interested in what support there is for "fraud." EDIT: If you guys could post a link to whatever law purportedly was violated, I would be interested. EDITEDIT: As an example, Chapter IV, Article 6, para 6 of Iceland's Customs Law (I'll post a link in a bit) permits the duty free importation of goods returned from abroad for just about any reason provided that proof is available that the goods were exported from Iceland. Unclear as to whether this means the goods must have been manufactured in Iceland, but there are other provisions that are helpful, too.

Crocs also makes sandals/clogs, but might be more summer-oriented.

Welcome. Look around. Read your welcome pm. Take it seriously. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday!

Hard to fault you Shelly, ESPN's "analysis" was spot on: "Ground and Pound" football has sapped any remaining hope of weekly value from Burress. In his past two games, he has four catches on 12 targets combined. Facing a solid defense like the Chargers, he's in for another forgettable day."

I told you guys he was good.

Unfortunately, this bottle was disappointing. Slightly over the hill, which should not be the case.

That's consistent with my own experience, and that characteristic is one that I like. (And I agree not everyone will.) Wes, is this something you consciously implemented? Do you disagree with the assessment (perhaps attributable to something else in our rigs)? I'd be interested to know. Glad the loaner program continues to go well.

I made a vow at RMAF to be nicer to newbs, so here goes. I agree with El Dragon Mexicano--the SRH 840 is an excellent headphone for the OP. Good sound, comfortable, bulletproof. My son used them for a while and they emerged unscathed. The Senn HD 25-1 would also merit a look. Now, OP, bring me some wine!

Missus Monkey and I were talking about the same exact thing. Also, I think they should stop splitting up. Everyone knows bad things happen when you split up.

Word. That was a mad delightful surprise. I saw that figure somewhere over on HF, too. I haven't heard the WES for a while, but I remember liking it when I did hear it. If it is indeed $2200, it would be nice to have a commercially available stat amp in that price range that is capable of driving the 007.

I wish Craig had brought the stat amp. Is it called the Electra? Do we know anything more about it?

Lexdray has an online store now. Pretty pricey.

^That's what I don't understand about all this Dark Star stuff. I couldn't listen to that thing at all on the high gain setting. And I'm pretty sure that was with the cans that are supposed to be such beasties to drive.

Ugh, sorry to hear that Shelly.
