Dusty Chalk

Hurray for non-dumbass delurkers! Welcome to head-case, sorry about your thin skin and perhaps the back of your head, but I don't think you have to worry about the latter.

On another site I frequent, Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck (which, admittedly, is more like 3 bucks) is getting a lot of recommendations. Especially the Shiraz. So it'd probably be worth trying, at least.

I don't know squat about Roman politics, so I'd probably call him Bert Mustard.

...unless you keep a spreadsheet.

Yes. I actually liked the SA5000 better. I'm one of those who probably never got a good fit with the Qualias, but the person (Juan) who was letting me listen to his SA5000 did a real good job of making sure I got a good fit with those.

Kinda ugly? Are you kidding? He's gorgeous. I mean, I know he looks like a white cat covered in soot, but...I don't know, just makes me want to pick him up and hug him.

I would up the priority of the record cleaning system. It's a must. Just make it part of the ritual of playing records, don't think of it as a tweak.

Lookin' great, Smeggy.

Perhaps it's DRM'd -- what's the title?

If I ever get another striped-ish cat, I was going to call her Scribbles.

The BHSE is easily some of the best sound I've ever heard.

I took work home over the break.

There's a time and place for everything, and the time and place for lime and salt are frat parties and cheap tequila. A good tequila is drinkable neat, as I found out recently, and should be savored.

No, I mean, the way you're supposed to always put more than one item in, and it has to be on the same side of the "lint release scale", and if you only put two items in, they should be of the exact same thing, you should put at least one item in of a completely different size. Heck, I can't even remember the rule, much less explain it. Maybe if I understood it better... I need to get one of those...eventually. I need to get me a Zojirushi. Heck, I just like saying, "Zojirushi". Zojirushi Zojirushi Zojirushi, la-la-la. Dang, I miss drinking.

Was kind of music is dat ('Japanese' is not an acceptable answer)?

Funny, I was just thinking about asking a similar question about Tequilas... (reads thread)

First of all, I'm not sure I agree with Maxim, whoever he is. I guess it depends on the device. I mean, if it's a memory-based device, then yeah, but if they also happen to make dishwashers that I wouldn't buy (because -- although I'm sure it's built well -- if it breaks, there's fewer people in the area who know how to fix it), doesn't mean I wouldn't buy a plasma tv from them. That said, what product by OCZ were you thinking of?

What, people aren't allowed to change their mind in hindsight? What, they can't be guilty of "new gearz disease"?

Another Swissgold tea infuser so I could keep one at home and one at the office.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

's'truth. Electric Tears and The Big Eyeball in the Sky have some stupendous tones, but he can get pretty bizarre, too.

Which one?

Plus...no. Bashing, smacking, it still results in flicker and/or dead bulb.

...or Skinny Puppy.
