  1. LOL. Oh . So I see, Cluless , youre gonna try to chop me down in the Prime Rib of my life. Well do you see that little guy bouncing around up there? I have an army of them I borrowed from my friend Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg .Theyre now on guard at the Triple B Ranch. These are a special breed of Flompy Doodles. Every one of them is a dyed-in-the-wool , cold-blooded, clean and methodical weed whacker killer. They surround the Beebarosa and are on alert 24 hours a day 7 days a week .no cover charge anytime. And theyre armed. Oh yes in deedy make no mistake about it. And here is their weapon of choice that eats weed whackers for breakfast at the first chuck wagon call of the day. Voila !: The ZF-1. It's light. Handle's adjustable for easy carrying; good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into 4 parts, undetectable by x-ray; ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Three thousand round clip with bursts of 3 to 300. With the Replay button (another Zorg invention) it's even easier. One shot, and Replay sends every following shot to the same location. And to finish the job, all the Zorg oldies but goldies. Rocket launcher. Arrow launcher, with explodin' and poisonous gas heads. Very practical. Our famous net launcher. The ALWAYS efficient flame-thrower. My favorite. And for the Grand Finale, the all new "Ice Cube System!" He He He .Im Just Joking Around. Have Fun. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>
  2. I must admit HornEd has had his way I could not best the lines he wrote today Now every girl and guy will always say That writing verse is not 3Bs forte I mowed through Shakespeare when I was in school but I must confess ,and Bardon the expression, iambic pentameter always landscaped me. Thus missing my calling by a foot or is it a yard. No ! Make that 3 pints. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>
  3. LOL, Sorry Jim but you made me laugh.When did the woofer blow ? Was it while you were watching The Phantom Menace ? BOOM !!! OooH ! There goes Quadinaros'RS power coupling ! ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

    Black Hawk Down

    Normally I wouldn't harp on the plus or minuses of a particular movie but this one won the Academy Award for sound.Everyone is commenting on the bass and LFE. I can accept a movie that has a weaker mix in that area. It's more than that. The surrounds aren't very active either.The movie sometimes sounds like I have the receiver in All Stereo mode. I have movies that were relesed 6 years ago that have better dynamics and separation. Don't get me wrong I liked this film and I don't compare DVDs sound tracks to each other based on how well the gunfire ,bombs and helicopters sound.If anything the fronts and dialogue are more pronounced with this DVD than most.The story is history the movie is entertainment.Just my opinion. I own the DVD and will watch it many more times. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

    Black Hawk Down

    peterm, I couldn't agree with you more. I realize this film has won an award for it's sound track but this disk did not hit a home run with me as far as the punch it should have.We are in the minority when it comes to our opinion concerning the sound on Black Hawk Down. I just can't bring myself to agree with some of the reviewers ,that I have the highest respect for ,who have applauded this movie's sound. Yes it is loud but not as dynamic as I thought it should of been. When I mention the subject to some people who's interests in home theater are the same as mine they look at me like I'm from outer space. CLULESS ! I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! Anyway perhaps the DTS version will be better. If so why didn't they get it right the first time. The information is there . Why not have a better mix on the DD 5.1 version.Of course it is difficult to compare any film to a Saving Private Ryan DTS sound track but give us a break. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>
  6. There once was a Poor Monkey Who married a witch She murdered poor Monkey With a poisoned monkfish But Monkey made plans That threw in a glitch His will was read And she thought shed be rich But the battle axe was left With hardly a stitch The hag was then caught By an old Monkey snitch Part of her sentence Was to stare in the ditch Where Monkey was laying Now here comes the hitch On Poor Monkeys tombstone He made his last pitch All of you get nothin And Im buried with my Klipsch ! Not great but I didn't spend a EEK,I mean a week writing it. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>
  7. LOL Cluless ! Cluless ! What am I going to do with you. Don't get me started . You must think I live in Scrabble. Not so . It's the only game in town. Only problem is I haven't found anybody around here who can put two letters together let alone two words. I'm not here for the long haul. I'll tell you the truth or as you might say "let the CAT out of the bag".Hold on to your question mark. I'm a Jersey guy. That is probably why we uhhhhhhhhh.............we get along.AND that means I know alot of swamp and oil refinery jokes.So fire away . I could use a few laughs around this joint. I have hardly scratched the surface of my arsenal of wise cracks that I picked up on my many journeys down highways 9, 35 and 36 and the bars of Asbury Park and Long Branch N.J.I'm a shore guy. Bennys,Bettors and Beach Bums. GO HOME! ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT> This message has been edited by BBB on 06-17-2002 at 09:11 PM
  8. Hey ,Where's tblasing ? I wonder if he fired up the old chainsaw for his neighbor's father's day celebration. Or perhaps his backyard buddy is now a proud owner of an air cooled lawnmower provided by a Remington upgrade.Nobody ever wishes me a Happy Fathers Day. Could be one or both of two reasons. One is that I don't have any children that know who I am and the other is that I've been called a mother so many times I celebrate my special day on May 12th. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>
  9. LOL Soundjunkie .I liked that. Now if Isaid that Cluless would be on me like stink on cat doo doo.
  10. I agree with trader. I thought that Queen'S DVD 'we will rock you' in DTS was a let down.
  11. LOL Clu,"But the movie is soooo bad its funny." Don't hate to admit that ther is a film you watched that is so stupid that it made you laugh. Maybe that's the whole idea. Like Dude,Where,s My Car.The thing is I can't look at Sean William Scott without laughing. Dude! Sweet! Give me a break.

    Running 4 RS-7's

    Well Moon, I wish you could get some other Klipschs in your system and play around with with all of them taking the RS-7's in and out of it and combining some directs before you lay down the bucks. What I did was replace my 2 RS-7's with RF-7's for the right and left surrounds. I use two RF-5's (a little smaller than the 7's)for the rear surrounds.I still have the RS-7's and I may use them again but for now I don't have them hooked up to my main system.It would be nice to find a dealer that would let you try different speakers.I've done business with my dealer for a long time so I could of brought the RS-7's back to them. On the other hand I'm a nut who is always changing his mind so I kept them.I might hook up the RS-7's tomorrow.Who knows? Having four RF-7's sounds great to me for 5.1 stuff and I biamped my RC-7 just incase the two front RF-7's over powered my center.That never happened .Sounds good to me.Ha Ha .I hope we didn't open up another can of worms here,if you get my drift.
  13. I have that WHO DVD . Is that great or what? How about that camera on the headstock on John Entwhistle's Bass ? That was a pretty nice bass solo. I've been listening to those guys since they recorded Happy Jack.One thing though, I was a little more impressed with the DD 5.1 on this disk than the DTS. At least on my system. I felt the same way with AC/DC's Stiff Upper Lip.That's not true with most of my DVDs and it depends on your system. I was pleasantly suprised with the audio quality of this concert. Have Fun, BBB
  14. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!! What is that a picture of ? Sundance ! Get me one....no, make that two crates of Dynamite !!!
  15. Good explanation Sound. But does that mean that Klipsch needs to keep a bicycle repairman on retainer to insure the Flompy Doodles remain in SYNC with regular maintenance checks while wearing a pair of spring loaded hiking boots ?
  16. That sounds pretty good Boa. I was interested in this Alice Cooper DVD.LOL. Vince Furnier. Remember when he used to play golf with Groucho ? There was a magician that lived about 3 streets away from my parents house in New Jersey that went on one of their tours to manage some of the stage special effects he used . His name was the Amazing Randy. Quite a character. One of his promotions he pulled off was to drive a car around the town of Red Bank , New Jersey blindfolded. They hired him so Alice wouldn't kill himself during some of the more dangerous stunts.All in good fun. I think I'll pick this disc up.Thanks
  17. Tsk..Tsk..TskAnd someone here was saying they were worried about ME. I dont remember exactly what he said. Something about tree lights and hand clapping. Wait a minute . Its coming to me. Man O man my memory stinks ! It will dawn on me in a second. Im pretty sure its the same person that wanted to use the Klipsch Forum for Solid Gold Dancer auditions . Wow ! .The name should just JUMP right out at me. Oh well. I better go before that same guy catches me monkeying around again. Now where did I put that bottle of Dramamine ?
  18. DEAN !! Dropping verses like that drives me nuts. But the 4 or 5 brain cells I have left finally kicked in. Ten Years After and Captain Speed Fingers, Alvin Lee. AHHHHHHHHH.Now to back to remembering what day yesterday was.But it's a new day now.

    Soylent Green

    Mike , I don't know if I read your post correctly but 'It's a MAD MAD MAD MAD MAD world ' is availabe on DVD. MGM Home entertainment offers it in a 2:35 aspect ratio with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound on 2 discs I saw it at Best Buy for 20 bucks.I have te VHS version not the DVD.
  20. Some of you might want to browse the Musical Heritage Society catalog. This is NOT a recommendation concerning the quality or availability of any recording they offer.My EX worked for them and they were able to find hard to get recordings from all over the world.I have owned some of their recordings so again I say that what they have to offer may not be of the best quality.You can search for organs under instruments or under solo. It MIGHT be interesting to some of you that are into classical and jazz. http://www.musicalheritage.com/CLASSICAL/categories.sp
  21. I think Horned's anaysis is right on. You could also think it as an investment that would cost a fraction of what it would cost to build your own water desalination plant.
  22. Yea Cluless, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. While we're at it don't forget Eraser Head and Caligula. But my all time favorite strange crowd pleaser is "Jessie James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" Of course there is all the Ed Wood Bella Lugosi Classics "Pull the string....pull the string !" Ha Ha
  23. Hey Hey now wait a minute! Maybe some of us should follow the Mokees example like they said: Hey, hey, we're the Monkees And people say we monkey around. But we're too busy singing To put anybody down. And be careful because they also said: Hey, hey, we're the Monkees, You never know where we'll be found. so you'd better get ready, We may be comin' to your town. And they might show up in our town handing out one way tickets for The Last Train To Clarkvsille. Then what do ya do ? EEK EEK
  24. My home is surrounded by lawn and garden manicuring fanatics .These people are nuts. I live on a couple of acres but my neighbors are close enough where I can here and see them all carry their passion for greenery to new unheard of limits. I swear they must go around dispensing medication with eyedroppers from bottles of chlorophyll to every blade of Kentucky blue they think might be suffering from mower shearing stress after calculating the sun exposure the lawn might get following an extensive measuring process of each green little sprout requiring a micrometer for satisfactory results. These people mow all day and all NIGHT! We all know of people who change the oil and spark plugs in their riding mowers a couple of times a summer. These people have to change the headlights on these machines once a week.! Between the headlights, spotlights and search lights they use during their nocturnal yard buzzing exercises my backyard looks and sounds like a prison break from a Lawn-Boy factory. Although they like me a lot better than the last person that owned and built my house. This guy was a real peace of work. He was a helicopter pilot who owned his own whirlybird. One classic story about him is he used to land his machine in what is now my backyard. Well one year during the Fall the neighbors called the FAA dogs on him after he decided to land his chopper right in the middle of one of their weekend long leaf raking festivals. I heard it was a sight to behold. Leafs , rakes and future compost heaps flying in every direction. I didnt take me long to figure out why the Smiths and Jones called me the NEW nut that lives next door. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I introduced myself to them by using my bands 10,000 watt P A system. ATTENTION PEOPLE OF EARTH !!! IM YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR !!! he he he.
  25. Well Kain,shipping could be expensive from Ohio to Dubai knowing that the Ultas weight is about 72 pounds boxed.Did you pay that kind of cost for shipping your RF-7's to Dubai? It must of been more because they are more than 100 pounds boxed.I guess it depends where you bought them.Or did you pick them up yourself? Some people include shipping costs if buying within the same country. I was lucky and saved on shipping because my Klipsch dealer,Hart Electronics, is nearby and I was able to pick them up myself . Not so with the Ultras though.They did arrive in perfect condition. SVS packs them well.Very Well.Hope you can get some.
