HornEd Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Found this anonymous geek Limerick on the web and it sounded like something from our Two Channel Audio posters... Blown Circuitry There once was a little transistor who constantly shorted his sister his leads soon grew thin the result of his sin and now he is just a resistor ...and wondered how Forum members might unite "humor AND taste" to rise above the General doldrums of summer posts. So, here's a HornED attempt... Fully Horn-Loaded Rebuttal A bold Klipschorn critic named Fedders Said in Hope that Bose were its betters... While making no flap Paul handed the chap A yellow button with black letters!

Ray Garrison Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 uh... My roommate in college (Al Parks) loved digital records (Telarc's). The cannons, when fired on Klipschorns conspired To separate gluons from Quarks! We begged him to stop - a tirade - then one day he got an upgrade. Switched an old 2A3 for a 300B and blew all of us halfway to Belgrade! I'll go away now... ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System This message has been edited by Ray Garrison on 06-17-2002 at 03:39 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 I'm thinking on it, but 2 things have me stumped 1. What rhymes with Klipsch 2. The tasteful part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted June 17, 2002 Author Share Posted June 17, 2002 Hmmm, as for the rhyming, how about... Tee many martoonies through the lipsch Inspired an insightful cluless qwipsch, "My cats cavortsch In the bass portsch Making a litter box of my Klipsch!" ...but I haven't a clue about taste. Try Chimay Ale... it works for my monkfish. -HornED This message has been edited by HornEd on 06-17-2002 at 02:01 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 who would buy these-who knows? these little cube speakers called bose, they have no highs and no lows; in order to cope, get some speakers from Hope and learn what every klipsch owner knows!

Ray Garrison Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Yes, rhyming with Klipsch is a *****, the thought of it makes my brain twitch, but the effort is noble, this community global strives to rhyme Klipsch. It's our niche. But even if Klipsch could be rhymed, that effort could only be timed in months, maybe years. A mountain of tears would surely be spilled ere it's climbed. And once having figured a way to rhyme someone's name in wordplay you'd probably find you'd lost half your mind By trying to post some cliche. So Klipsch we will hold in esteem and not try to rhyme it, or gleam the fame, only passing that comes from enhancing this forum with musings extreme. ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted June 17, 2002 Author Share Posted June 17, 2002 Elegantly stated, Ray... and I'll drink to that... but only because it was in such good taste! Cheers! -HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 You opened this can of worms, so I'll just rise up and take the bait There once was a Klipschster named ed Who posted on MANY a forum thread: "I have this aversion to wide angle dispersion Give me monopole surrounds instead" That's one green creepy crawler back at you...THWAP!

cluless Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I got busted for P.U.I. last night. Sentenced to 300 hours of community service bashing bose cubes. The arresting occifer requested an extra harsh sentence because all I kept babbling about monkey's having big lipsch. ( I also called him a sonuvaklipsch, but I don't think that was part of the problem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 "Klipsch"-- Isn't that a football penalty?? ------------------ Tom's Money Pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Alas, Tom, your "Klipsching" penalty brings up such sad memories... of Slater, a 49¢ reddish goldfish that my son named after the famed S.F. 49er waterboy... and a "black and silver-gray" stray picked up after a game at the Oakland Coliseum. A year or so passed, and then one Forum day in mid-post, I noticed Slater had disappeared from his "Candlestick Bowl" without a clue. I was about to summon Forum resident Floppy Doodle Dandy, (s> U-Go-Girl) cluless, to cat-nip the mystery in the bud (...err, with a Bud?)... when your post, Tom, and Ray's scholarly ways, inspired me to the heights (... er depths) of Limerick-itis... First "49er Goldfish", Slater, Then Raidy, the "Raider's Cat", later. . While I'm dipole dissing... . Slater comes up missing, And that's... sic transit radiator! s> ...Oops, looks like cluless sent by one of her "Stop that!" Flompies. So, I must confess it was a fictionalized attempt to get an old radiator (Raidy-ate-her) to work in a new limerick... ergo "Sic Transit Gloria!" Mea culpa x 3. -HornED This message has been edited by HornEd on 06-18-2002 at 07:47 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 How vast is this acoustics science? Where Nature demands our compliance! But the poster I dread Lets ad hype fill his head... Until it's a half-vast appliance. Some postings I have exhibited May seem a bit too inhibited... For flamers raise my ire And I would douse their fire, If I could "Void Where Prohibited!" While sorting the lambs from the mutton, Go easy on using Paul's button... Whack facts on their noggin 'til they're cool as Daz Hagen And they "know" that they knew "nutton." But, when all has been said and then done, Take stock of that said under the gun... Make nice to all you spurned And hope we have all learned That hobbies are supposed to be fun! -HornED This message has been edited by HornEd on 06-18-2002 at 06:44 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Oops sorry " And hope we have all learned That hobbies are supposed to be fun! -HornED" What more can be said... And in your final coda..

HornEd Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 The Many Faces of Klipsch "There's no speaker quite like a Horner" Said the Conehead somewhat forlorner ...For he heard Mr. Paul ...Had hornswaggled them all By folding his horns in the corner. Thus, the fully-loaded horn purist, Still Klipsch's most elegant jurist, ...Holds out for the Heritage ...As true Klipsch veritage And tubular amps to be surest. Ah, but Mr. Paul was not alone... "Wife Approval Factor" became known, ...And the LaScala shell ...Was reborn as a Belle As "WAF Approved" came into its own. Hornless woofers the "WAF" demanded So with Cornwalls he had expanded ...But Paul made his case ...To keep horns above bass As the stuff of Legends was branded. Then came ProLogic with rear fuzzy And "THX" became word buzzy ...So side/surrounds were made ...and ambient sound sprayed To bounce off the wall like some huzzy. Mixers and fixers have newly found That multiple tracks of full-range sound ...Preserve tone and timber ...While ambient-limber Using ALL tracks to echo surround! And since time and tide wait for no LAN Klipsch marketed the heart of the clan, ...Geeks with Expedia ...Must have ProMedia And, by Justin, I believe they can! Yet, finally, in horn deference... Arrives the Mod Seven Reference ...Audiophile exact ...with horn tweeter intact A welcome popular preference! -HornED This message has been edited by HornEd on 06-19-2002 at 08:51 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
