PhilMays Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Very worthy of a trade, Indeed! Umm, I know she's cooks as indicated in one of your previous posts....so....does the Buffalo come with her....I love me some buffalo burgers! One more teensy weensy detail..... Will you take a pair of crap Mirage Bi-Polar speakers I bought off ebay a few months back? They sound wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roc Rinaldi Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 She cooks alright but not in the kitchen. Do you like Buffalo Burgers or Poodle Patte or is goose more to your liking? No, only Forte IIs, in mint condition, oiled walnut, within 200 miles of Baltimore, Maryland. After all, the trade has to be fair to both parties. Gentlemen, start the bidding!!!!

My wife is certainly worth way more than $500. Now finding Forte IIs, in mint condition, in oiled walnut, within 200 miles of Baltimore, Maryland, now that's priceless.!!!

Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 8, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 8, 2007 Okay...I did a quick check on dtel....physical stamina...no problem we are landscape contractors and do all the work ourselves, with the occasional help of my son-in-law.[] His last EKG taken on 2/l3/07 (just prior to appendectomy) revealed no problems. I can vouch for both his physical stamina and his heart condition.[] Further...we will be Indianapolis from 6/19/07 to 6/25/07 for the Pilgramage...seems like that is over half way...if my geography is correct.[] Dtel says he's not quite sure about a "double trade"?????

However, I think that I can save the marriage if only I can get her to listen to the long version of "Whole lotta Love" by Led Zeppilin. Now there's a song made for strong subwoofers.!!!

I was wondering what happened to you. I didn't realize you were serious about getting that pair of Forte IIs. Congratulations on your latest acquisition. A trip to Indy would surely convince her of the Forte II's small footprints, compared to other speakers you could have chosen in the Heritage line up. Actually, after seeing some Jubilees, LaScala IIs and the 60th Anniversary Khorns she probably would want you to "upgrade", or she would be totally thrilled that you chose the Forte IIs.

I thought they snuck out in the cover of darkness. I was about 13 years old at the time, so my recollection may be a bit fuzzy. Seems like a long time to hold a grudge though, huh?

Roc Rinaldi Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Amy, your last sentence indicates that you do not realize how much the Baltimore Colts meant to Baltimore and how much they were woven into the fabric of our lives. In the late 1950s, the 1960s, and early 1970s, if you lived in Baltimore, you spent all week talking about the most recent Colt game and the next Colt game. In Baltimore, you lived and breathed for the Colts. All you thought about was Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore, Alan Ameche, Gino Marchetti, Artie Donovan, Jim Mucheller, Raymond Berry, Weeb Ewbank, Mike Curtis, John Mackey and Jim Parker. We had about seven Hall of Fame members on those teams. Then came Burt Jones and the next round of players. Your whole existence was centered around the Colts and their activities. You lived and died for the Colts. Our stadium was nicknamed "The Worlds Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum", because of the noise factor and the passion of the fans. If you have ever had a really really true love I'm sure that you would never actually "get over it", and you shouldn't. Well, I really really loved the Colts and the Blue & White, and the Horseshoes. Please realize that Indy rudely took our Colts and their football records and our trophies and our other memorabilia. All of those records and trophies were achieved while the Colts were Baltimore's team. For God's sake, they have Johnny Unitas listed as an Indianapolis Colt in the Hall of Fame.!! I will never forgive and I will never forget what Mr. Hudnut and troupe and city did to us. Our mayor at the time even offered to buy back the trophies and memorabilia, but Mr. Robert Irsay declined, may he rest not in piece. My wish is for someone to add a BOSE sound system to Mr. Irsay's coffin so that he will anguish for eternity. I'm very sure that it is very hot where Mr. Irsay currently resides.

Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2007 My God man GET A GRIP!!![] I can't say I know how you feel about the loss of the team to Indianapolis. Being a die hard Saints fan (even in the baghead days) I do believe losing the Saints to any city would cause grief in our household. But....being the "forgiving souls" we are we would still root for the Saints and probably do our best to attend a game in their new "home city".[] Is that what is really keeping you from going to the Pilgramage?[bs] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
