  1. Ah. Yeah, it did kind of sound like an ad, dinnit?
  2. Get out (translation: I don't believe you).

    New Cat

    My allergist told me she shaves her cat with a completely straight face. And no, I don't think she was coming on to me, because she mentioned her husband got it for her in the same breath.
  4. "My"? , no, it's just the last thing I bought.
  5. I read that as "paid Jude a bizzel". Bizzel == a lot. Whatever you want, sailor.
  6. A couple of "Carbon" twill Chaps shirts -- Twill is quickly becoming my new favorite textile. It's finely woven enough to be classy enough for the workplace, but it's a thick enough weave to be durable -- the perfect combination. "Carbon" == charcoal with a slight dark-green tint to it.

    New Cat

    You could just get a normal cat and shave it. They all look that ugly underneath. In fact, they'd probably look even uglier with a full-body 5 o'clock shadow.
  8. Yeah, but why did Bach name that song after a license plate, is he like in love with his car or something? Did they even have cars back then, much less license plates? I suppose if they had cars back then, they'd be pretty rare. It'd be like, "Hey, I got hit by a Model T!" "Oh, that Bach, what does he think this is, bumper cars?" ... And on a totally unrelated note: http://producten.hema.nl/ Give it a few seconds after it loads to start.
  9. Wharfdale Diamonds are also supposed to be pretty good, but again, what are you looking for? You want bass? Just get a subwoofer. No speakers, just a subwoofer. But you know, if you're Good To Go, then w/e ... brbq ...
  10. No. That's stupid.
  11. Go active. There's also about a Brazillian questions you should be asked -- and you should be asking yourself -- such as, nearfield/midfield/farafield/outfield? Sweetspot listening? Close to wall, or pulled out in the rooom? What are you looking for (soundstage, prat, etc.)? What will you be listening to, on it?
  12. Uh, this sounds like a contradiction to me.
  13. link
  14. Well, I'm not Stephen, but...I've already pretty much had to give that up, and allergies prevent me from smelling quite a lot of the time.
  15. Team material-first!
  16. Home movies, nothing special, but near and dear to my heart. This is the total-cuteness-overload that I wake up to every morning: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLA5qxO3Ru4]YouTube - What I wake up to[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXpIYiM-ZFg]YouTube - What I wake up to, II[/ame] ...and this is ceiling cat's perspective: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTCbwXxd8c4]YouTube - Ceiling Cat's Perspective[/ame]
  17. Yeah, the Burrito Bol was good -- someone was telling me the chips and salsa were good, that's where the "notch above meh" comment was targeted.
  18. I entered: head-fi.org & pfff.net
  19. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApiPS6GAy_0]YouTube - Banned 70's TV show called Rainbow[/ame]
  20. Jesus. And: you didn't read [AK]Zip's thread about R10's, did you?
  21. Hey, no worries about "non audiophile antics" -- I have mine on stacks of reams of paper (3 per side). Brings the tweeters up to ear level, and only the slightest of toe-in is what I find to be the perfect balance (aimed about 6 feet behind my head). But that leads to a question -- only after I do that do mine breach the top of my monitor -- how do you have your monitor and keyboard set up? For ergonomic reasons, you should have the monitor at a height so that when you look straight ahead, you're looking at the top half of the screen, left of center. I have a special drawer/platform thingy for my keyboard so that my elbows are slightly above the plane of the keyboard, so that my fingers only drop down a little bit. Or do you slouch really badly? The result is that there is no desk for the bass to bounce off of. There's also ports in the back -- you could fashion some foam bungs to plug into the ports (thrice -- no "where are we going with this thread" jokes). Oh, and I completely agree with the midrange. It's competitive with my old Spendor S3/5's that I used to have. Before I got these, I missed those; after I got these, I didn't miss 'em no mo'.
  22. Ouch.
