Some women like it shaved
I shaved my head a few years ago. I ended up looking like an uncircumsized penis. I promise never to do it again. At least, not until I lose some weight.

The Emmeline II B-52
/wanders off to look up 'Neville Chamberlain' Was he like Ghandi? It takes a certain amount of already existing charisma to pull something like that off -- I'm not saying you don't have it, but hungrych definitely doesn't have it.

The Emmeline II B-52
Allow me to tell you a story. There once was a guy, and he had a girlfriend. And he had a "mistress" on the side. Most of us knew. When he left the girlfriend, he didn't start being truly open about the mistress, but started a relationship with another girlfriend. Well, this girlfriend started talking shit about the "mistress" -- tramp, whore, etc. But also just generally mean and bad things. And we were like, no -- I mean, yeah, about the tramp part, that's why he went to her. Because he wasn't getting what he needed from the first girlfriend. But that doesn't make her a bad person. Well, I have since stopped being friend with boyfriend and girlfriend, and am now pretty good friends with "mistress". Do you know what? She's a really nice person. And no, I'm not sleeping with her. She got a little messed up by that (sort of like sleeping with a married man), but she's over it (happily married now, herself -- to someone else). Here's the funny part -- I was surprised to find out she was a nice person. Even though I didn't believe gf#2, she still repeated it enough times that I began to believe it, subconsciously. So, moral of the story? If you repeat something enough times, people will believe it. If you repeat something enough times -- even if it isn't true -- people will believe it. If you repeat something enough times, with enough emphasis, people will believe it. Goebel knew. Hitler knew. It's a war of words, and it has to be fought. The unfortunate part is -- no-one wins.

Q010 pad care
Mink Oil? I know you use that for nice leather shoes, don't know if you would still use it if it's for a surface that touches one's skin/head.

Help a Brotha out - what's going on over there?
One can maximize one's post quota by using separate windows for replies, and using a one-minute egg-timer type thingy.

Rudistor RP1000 Balanced Amp
It's not the cost of the tube that's important. For example, I much prefer EL84's and 6SN7's to 300B's or EL34's...just my tastes.

Help a Brotha out - what's going on over there?
This girl came on and claimed you were her husband (?!?!?), and that you were cheating on her (I wouldn't cheat on her -- she sounds like a psycho -- I'd fuck her and dump her), but she kept referring to you as "Alex" instead of "Jahn", and that...

Assuming that this headphone sounds as good as I'm imagining it will, this is where I am.

They have eight-foot retractable latex Satan wings ...
Favourite quotes from the article: "...a former film student who goes by his real name...when not wielding a blood-spurting electric chain saw..." "Often derided as a showcase of kitsch..." "...after coming in last at Eurovision eight times." "Finns are so uncomfortable with themselves...that when they meet someone for the first time, they stare at their own feet. Then, after 10 years of friendship, they stare at the other person's feet."

Best Buy
Bear with me: so I get this coupon in the mail, and I flip it over, and it says that it's exempt on, amongst other things, Martin Logan equipment. Martin Logan? Since when did Best Buy start selling Martin Logan equipment?!?!? So I do a little searching around, and it appears they're starting a high-end corner in some of their shops, Magnolia Home Theater. No shit! They also sell McIntosh, Sennheiser, REL, and a bunch of other good shit. Oh, and Bose. What's next? Pigs flying? Cows coming home?

Grado RS-Zero/1i/3/Surround/0/Mushroom/Thingy/Bagels
Unholy carp, circumaural Grados? Will wonders never cease. I actually see myself getting a pair of these. My biggest criticism of Grados has always been the comfort issue, and 90% of the comfort issue is their supraauralness (if that's a word). I would still want to try them first. Or maybe just the pads. Those bagel pads and my HP-2's...hmmm...even at US$50, might be worth trying.

What is your favorite salad dressing?
Lppt -- I hate bleu cheese -- it's just moldy salad dressing that they're trying to pawn off on you. I like the vinagrette that Uno's has -- that's awesome. Paul Newman's is surprisingly good. What is that stuff I have in your fridge, Hirsch, something peppercorn? I like a nice ranch or creamy italian, too.

What are you talking about? Ah don't do shrooms -- you never know when one can cause permanent damage.
