thebes Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yes folks there are things you don't want to say out loud on a public forum. But then again you do want a hook, something to draw them in. When I worked on Capitol Hill a good press release started with" Congressman Thefixisin Announces Great Gobs of Money Flowing into His District". Alternatively, you would never issue the following: "Eight Years in Office and Never Indicted". As hooks, "My Cables Have Halitosis" might work. Better yet, "When My Wife Saw My New Tube 3000, She Took Off ...". Can't ever go wrong with: "Audio Nirvosa on $39 a Week". Then there's the yawners : "How to Unbalance a Balanced Cable", "Best Radioshack Speakers Ever", "My Love Affair With Bose 301's". There's the stuff you just know is wrong. You might chuckle a bit at your bravura, toss it off, and lead off with: "Country versus Western". Then again, it's a slow time of the year, nobody's had a true belly-laugh here in weeks, so why not go for the gold. So without further ado, I launch the soon to be history thread with a topi header that is so sublime it may take a minute for your barf reflex to catch up: Engorged I exploded!

Cornman Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Nah nah, we all listen when the "Thebes" speaks, slow time or not - he is a header guaranteed to bring a smile even to the most weathered Klipscholic. Please do carry on sir. Cornman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 hmm... how 'bout "My cardboard Khorn build" or "Use aluminum gutters as speaker wire?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll forestall Fini by saying I hope they don't drain the music away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryO Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Now the debate between galvanized and aluminum gutters starts. Thanks a lot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Galvanized! What are you crazy! No matter what they tell you it starts rusting and before you know it's got holes in it, and you know what that does to your music. Sure those guys at the Magic Pebbles Emporium, tell you tehy have special cladding and for only $14,327.16, it is guaranteed to give you a boner. Don't believe them because for $14,327.16 you can get a lot more than a simple erection. Nope aluminum is the way to go. dare I say it, it will leave you engorged.

HarryO Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Hey, I thought they outlawed aluminum wiring years ago! It killed the sound and overheaded the circuitry I'm told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Oh no... its gotta be copper gutters! wheww that is a LOT of pennies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hey, I thought they outlawed aluminum wiring years ago! It killed the sound and overheaded the circuitry I'm told. Spoken like a tool of the copper conglomerates. They are the guys who got aluminum banned, the damned oligarchs. It was all just a simple method of termination. I like the Belkin banana plugs with aluminum gutters. Looks nice and quite frankly copper gutters just turn green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Oh no... its gotta be copper gutters! wheww that is a LOT of pennies! Hey, did you know the "melt value" of pre-1982 pennies is 2 cents each? http://www.coinflation.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryO Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 WHAT? Now we'll be discussing "Lightning Rod" construction. GEEZ! We're talking serious "Coin" now Can't get banned for that I hope. Trying to keep this civil and not get into a heated debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much carpet can be a bad thing. Drapes also. You probably should try both and see what you like best.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
