HornEd Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 C&S, the late Ogden Nash once wrote: "One bliss for which there is no match Is when you itch... to up and scratch!" The visual bliss of your sonic silk purse... Fashioned by your own hand (as sorcerer's apprentice?)... Impelled by arcane wizardly writhing on Mdeneen Schematics... And, gadzooks, do I spy a bit of fini in thy plinth? Before mine ears have heard the glory of the coming... You merry folk have given me a profound itch for which scratch is merely a stepping stone of prideful ecstasy. Congratulations, Clipped & Shorn, for in thy naked chassis and tubular fantasies, true richness is born this day. Your humbled admirer...

Clipped and Shorn Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 Pinto Colvig, who was not only the voice of Goofy but also Bozo the Clown (on recordings) recorded a 78 which I wore out as a tyke. It was called Honkety Hank (and his Hootenanny Automobile). Honkety has this dream in which he makes a hot rod out of old junk, a wind-up phonograph motor and bubble gum wheels etc. By chance he ends up in an auto race which he wins, then wakes up from his dream etc. Like Orson Welles explained after the War Of The Worlds broadcast, he didn't realize people would take him so seriously, he was not intentionally creating a hoax....... -fibbered and mcgeed ------------------ Cornwalls currently upgrading to all tube components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipped and Shorn Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 The hot rod mystery Amp came out so good we have decided to sell it on eBay to capitalize the next mod we have planned. Hopefully we can get more than $11.49. Bidders from this forum are welcome. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1338911117 -carnegied and morganed ------------------ Cornwalls currently upgrading to all tube components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 har. Still trying to get the joke. Most of the posts here are so ernest (at least the ones about tube amps), you would never see something this far out of left field with not much of a hook. Too bad. I was ready to sing more praises. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipped and Shorn Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 I guess the hook had to do with how cool that amp looked, almost like a prop from a time -travel movie. How often do you see so many dials outside of a cockpit? I thought it looked like an amp from a dream. Also, I wanted to keep the thread warm. -Boss Jim Gettys and Jedediah Leland ------------------ Cornwalls currently upgrading to all tube components This message has been edited by Clipped and Shorn on 03-13-2002 at 02:16 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
