Not bad, but nothing I'll be buying again. It tasted mostly like an apple, but the smell reminded me of Grape Koolaid from when I was a kid.

Two pair of pants for work at Target for $5.74 each

I'd be up for any, depending on the mood of others, but the Social Distortion show has my vote.

Potato cubes, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, black beans, salsa, and Tofutti brand "sour cream" with guacamole. I also bought a grapple for dessert. I've never had one before so am curious.

Happy Birthday!

Update: Here's a pic after he's eaten for a couple weeks and had a bath (the vet got most of the tar off). And he finally earned a name that stuck: Groucho. He likes to get his way and is a pouty grouch when told "no." He's a good cat and funny when he's complaining. My parents are staying with me for the rest of the winter, and he's taken a liking to my dad, or rather, my dad's belly.

What shows are there around MOA time?

I've never heard of them. With what would you compare them?

Not great, but I never remember jokes and someone emailed this to me. For Nate, Mike and Al: An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you''re an engineer--you're in the wrong place." So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After awhile, they've got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy. One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." God replies, "What?? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake--he should never have gotten down there; send him up here." Satan says, "No way." I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him." God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue." Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

Looks like a place I'd hang out in, though I've never heard of an internet juke box before. Do you always take pictures of your pizza or only before someone pulls a prank?

I like it

I have an ALO line-out dock I got used for $45 off head-fi a year or so ago, and a mini-mini I also got for $45. I quite like them, but not for new prices. I have an imod, and it does sound noticeably better than a regular ipod. Since I don't use it that much anymore (uh...actually I have two, but one Vinnie did for free without me knowing for a couple months...long story), I'm going to definitely sell one or maybe both. I have a hard time believing that a $250 cable would add that much of a difference to an imod or even ipod's sq, but I guess if you have ooodles of money, go for it and find out.

It's okay. I've never seen a whole episode of Buffy, and I'm not exactly suffering. What is BSG?

Artist: Tom Waits Album: Rain Dogs Son: 9th and Hennepin Lyrics: forget a snippet. Not a wasted word in these lyrics: Well it's Ninth and Hennepin All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky Like a tarp thrown all over this And the broken umbrellas like dead birds And the steam comes out of the grill Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow... And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos And everyone is behaving like dogs And the horses are coming down Violin Road And Dutch is dead on his feet And all the rooms they smell like diesel And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here And I'm lost in the window, and I hide in the stairway And I hang in the curtain, and I sleep in your hat... And no one brings anything small into a bar around here They all started out with bad directions And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear One for every year he's away, she said Such a crumbling beauty, ah There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix She has that razor sadness that only gets worse With the clang and the thunder of the Southern Pacific going by And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet til you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin And you spill out over the side to anyone who will listen... And I've seen it all, I've seen it all Through the yellow windows of the evening train...

Artist: Jim White Album: No Such Place Song: Handcuffed to a Fence in Mississippi Lyric: I see the guitar that my cousin played in prison, floating with the tv in the swimming pool.

The mouse has the better hat. Be the mouse.

Sounds like a drag queen.

okie dokie then. but do you have ESW9s?

oooh, I call girl-dibs on any future nuttiness tubes you want to make with bugs and butterflies in them!

Ah, but I have supporting evidence to to back my claims. Do you really want me to go there? Please forgive my mistake in thinking that you were speaking of the ESW9 since your post was a response to my ESW9 impressions. Do you actually have the ESW9s? I'm now confused. EDIT: I just read that it was a typo...still I'm confused. Do you have ESW9s?

Uh...I think the normal way was to post in that thread. That's why he started it. If you're far too above the peons to post a simple request there, I imagine he'd respond to an email request.

Interesting. I have the KSC-75s here now (bought a pair to give to my trainer) and the ESW9s. There is a significant difference in sq, when using an amp, in imaging, clarity and tone. I imagine you've put cost into the mix. I don't think that way. Something either sounds much better or it doesn't. Isolation? No awards here, but good enough for my purposes. Comfort? Crazy good right out of the box, but I have a small head so that might make a difference. DJ headphones? I have zero experience. Why not do a comparison with ones you know well? I'd be interested in reading that. Ben, I have zero problems with your impressions of the ESW9s and how they differ from mine. You could even be right, but your choice to stoop to personal cattiness as a way to dismiss my opinion while boosting the validity of yours is embarrassingly unnecessary and, due to your willingness to post while lacking knowledge of your subject (me), is indicative of sloppy thinking as well. You suggest I allow impressions of beauty to override a clearly separate ability to form and articulate judgments about sound quality. Do you really believe I'm that shallow and lacking in self-reflective intelligence? As evidenced by what? Tell me how you learned that about me. Do you really believe that members of this forum can't see motives through language? Can't see your unattractive eagerness to win points even if you're talking through your ass. Careful with your answers. Few here are as stupid as you are showing yourself to be.

ooops, I got so far off track I didn't even remember who started the thread. Charlie Parker Konrad Zuse says he's sorry, tkam.

Okay, I could resist one more. Sorry for the total threadjack, Deepak.
