maxg Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 After a few of my usual classical staples I found myself listening to the soundtrack to Cabaret. Old Lisa can belt out a tune and as I was singing along to "and when I go I want to go like Elsie..." I realised: 1. I have taken this system about as far as I think I ever will. I am at an end of my upgrade path. and, 2. I am developing a worrying penchant for muscials, losing my ability to whistle and have taken to wearing Green. I wonder what is happening to me?

TBrennan Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I love showtunes too---South Pacific, Annie, My Fair Lady and West Side Story are my faves. I used to crack-up the other Boilermakers when I'd break out singing "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy" at work. I'm as corny as Kansas in August....

fini Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I know what you mean, Big Tom! I've gotten rave reviews for my rendition of "I Feel Pretty" on the jobsite. Geeze, carpenters are called upon to do it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Fini---You're a wood-butcher? Didn't know that. I was a Boilermaker 33 years, Local 1, worked outa the hall. I just retired. Here's me and some of my gang on my last job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Tom, Yep! Local 35. I'm kinda retired, too. From that business, anyway. I injured my knees and back, getting out before I couldn't walk. WC is supposed to retrain me. My wife says I'm untrainable. She's given up after 17 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Tom, great photo! Everyone in their flame retardants, safety glasses, hard hats, ready to torch! Yeaaasss I'm getting physched about a new used big screen. Our first movie will be "The Sound of Music," my wife's favorite, done up big time. Fresh buttered popcorn Soda Goody Goodys All with a set of Khorns, a set of VOTs, and three Belles. The hills literally will be alive with the sounds of music. I've been known to start singing "Gonna wash that man right out of my hair" when I really start to get pissed off at demo sites. Besides catching everyone's attention, it tends to drive away the people who know someone is in deep ****, and they don't want to be the one at the receiving end.

D-MAN Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Nobody in their right mind should stop upgrading because of a couple of puny show tunes. ESPECIALLY SHOW TUNES. DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Tom, I thought that was a meeting of the Chicago Horn Heads and you guys were wearing the hard hats to protect yourselves from falling objects when you CRANKED IT UP!!

fini Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 No, Max, it's not just you. I've been dreaming you're Liza Minelli for weeks now, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Fini, Well we cant both be wrong - maybe I AM Liza dreaming I am Max... On the other hand I am sure Liza dreams better than this - just had a 4 hour meeting with a client and have another one ahead - I'm beat already and its only 2 in the afternoon!!

Timmikid Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I think you looking at the 'problem'from the wrong angle. Anyone thinking his set can not be upgraded or tweaked anymore will suffer a huge identity crisis, because he has to redetermine the meaning of life, which ofcourse until now was to listen and upgrade and listen again, etc. I think the solution is to sell your set to your shrink and start all over again! Greetings, Tim (with too much meaning in his life). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
