The D5000 are excellent headphones, other than the fact that they fall apart.

I was thinking either that or a diving board.

He also probably doesn't have them all on at the same time. Presumably.

I'm not worried about looking foolish -- I can look plenty foolish without headphones.

This is straight from the AMG newsletter that goes out every week, unedited. In other words, I didn't bother deleting anything. I believe it goes: Artist; title; label; optional verbal description; genre(s)

And you got a picture of two...street dates.

I believe UPS will actually request that you not do anything with them -- like pack them up and reship them.

Ken: Your girlfriend's very pretty. Jimmy: She's ain't my girlfriend. She's a prostitute I just picked up. Ken: I was not aware that there were any prostitutes in Bruges. Jimmy: You just have to look in the right places... brothels are good. Ken: Well, you've picked up a very pretty prostitute.

He was asking for sources...suggestions for alternatives -- although intended to be helpful -- and opinions of same -- not so helpful -- were still thread-crapping. Give him a break.

For starters, one of you needs to file a claim with UPS. I thought it was the shipper, but a recent thread here told me it's the recipient. I still think it's the seller's, since he's the one who paid for the insurance, but you need to coordinate with UPS to show them the evidence, so whoever starts it, the effort is going to need to be coordinated. I also think the evidence is on your side -- unless they took and kept pictures, they have no proof that the crate was inadequate, and the re-boxing makes it look like a cover-up to me. That's what they did when they sent me sand instead of tubes once, and they ended up refunding the sender the entire amount of purchase. I sure hope he sent them insured.

I hope these are more robust. They certainly don't look much different, but we'll have to wait and see. I liked the D5000's enough that I am highly curious about these, especially since they're closed. So if no-one in my area gets a pair, I'll get a pair, but it'll wait until at least December-ish, probably more like next year some time. Thanks for posting the info on them.

And grapefruit, for some reason. I think it's kidney function -- eating raw fish makes your kidney work overtime, and it's already working overtime or something like that. Maybe liver -- I always get those two mixed up.

Robot: Oh, great, tear gas instead of a penis. God, why hast thou forsaken me?!?!? I'm going postal.

Nice!

Incorrect.

Hey, the next time you're in Arlington on a work day, let me know -- there's a place across the street from where I work that has excellent, cheap sushi. I 'loaded up', and it came out to about $11. Of course, that was before prices went up due to gas prices, but I bet they're still pretty reasonable. There's also a place in Thurmont that's pretty reasonable and excellent quality, I can ask after the info if you want. I, unfortunately, have to eschew sushi (being on Lipitor, you know). I still have it once in a while, but for the most part, I just avoid.

Well, I did say the other choice was that some components could be too close together for the voltage, but then it wouldn't test 'good', would it?

I don't know about 'exactly', but yeah, there's always been a Hellboy/Tom Waits connection (author Mike Mignola is a big Tom Waits fan, as is Ron Perlman, for that matter).

This is the cheapest I've seen the 2TB, I think.

Start with page 4 Hmmm... (strokes stubbly chin)

Too late for now, anyway (And before you ask why I have a 4chan link there, I was googling for facepalms -- specifically, the Woody from Toy Story facepalm.)

I would prefer to think of it as the language...uh...whatever the opposite of barrier is.
