Thanks for the briefing on the history of Posterboy, Matt. He is Legend.

You're not fat.

Tannoy > L3000. Agreed. That toaster sure was a sweet amp though. Glad you liked it as much as I did.

This just in on Facebook: Willow Smith had a bad day for some reason and said so on Twitter. WTF has become of this world?!?! Oh well, at least now I know who Willow Smith is... the 11 year-old daughter of Will Smith and what's her name. Come to think of it, no big surprise that her name is WIllow. Yes, Will Smith's ego is that big.

Bush's fault. Can't you read?

RIP, Mr. Marshall, maker of good amps. For a minute there I thought we had lost one of the Purple People Eaters! I was a big Minnesota Vikings fan growing up, and Jim Marshall was one of their famed 4 defensive linemen, along with Alan Page, Carl Eller and Gary Larson (not The Far Side guy).

I've been thinking about picking up another pair of headphones of late, I guess because I don't have enough of them, or else I'm really bored. Was debating between the L1 and the best of whatever Bob Marley is selling these days. Of course, not having heard either and not having any real need for either, I wisely decided to put this non-decision off for a while. Well, now I'm pretty much settled on the L1 being the right ticket to punch. Or at least the Marley offerings didn't impress me much at all when I wandered upon them at Miami International the other day. Even their top of the line model (the $299 silver one, which was quite well built), left me flat. Just a pretty lustless listening experience to my ears. Shame. Would have loved to support Bob. He seems to need the money these days.

The hammer forum shtick was brilliant. Especially liked the comment from Banger: "Why don't you rent one for a few days...?" You could build a shed in that amount of time..." Euronailer bitching about the price and VAT was pretty funny too.

Happy birthday, Mike. Is the toaster still alive and well, or have you parted company with it by now?

Kansas won again, and will be playing for the national championship of college basketball on Monday night. They'll be a big underdog against Kentucky, but then again, they've got nothing to lose...

Happy birthday, Doug!

Loved the Batman thing... but I'd have to save up a little before I could afford a Lambo! Not to mention the need to lose about a half a cow. Think I'll stick with what I know best!

Nice... Of course, this will all be passed off as politics as usual, since the video is being pimped my Fox and the Republican party, whereas in reality it really ought to be a national scandal that's spread all over the news. I'm sure Vladimir will be pleased...

^ I mean, ya, I get it. You "believe" and so on, and you want everyone to know about this endless fascination you have with Mystery Man. All good. I'm fine with that and don't necessarily disagree. But just how many fucking times do you need to go on and on and on about it? STFU already!

Idiot former student, with yet another blathering post (same old song and dance every day) on Facebook: "Your destiny is not determined by your circumstances. Your destiny is determined by the Creator of the universe !!!!" Wayne McManus: Do you mean Voltron? Oh, no, no, no... I'm mistaken. He's just the defender of the universe! His name is Al, by the way.

I agree with what you're saying, but I think Kentucky is the only team in the country that can really beat Kentucky. It's up to the other teams they play to hang in there for long enough to give them a chance to self destruct in the last 3 minutes of the game. Of course, I thought Baylor was capable of beating Kentucky because they matched up with them better than any other team does in terms of physicality. How wrong was that assessment? They certainly don't play like freshmen!

Smiled a lot and even screamed a little, watching the Kansas Jayhawks make it into the Final 4 today! Of course, that means someone else will be disappointed that North Carolina didn't make, and on it goes until there is only one team left standing, which is highly likely to be Kentucky this year unless someone pulls off a major upset.

I tend to logon to Head-Fi about once every couple of weeks now just to see if there are any PMs for me, but this morning I thought I'd click on "new posts" just for the heck of it. To my great surprise, there was DLeeWebb with his post #35,422 on page 671 of "Rate the Last Movie You Watched." I see not much has changed. Hadn't thought of him for years. I remember once sitting at a meet somewhere (probably in Florida) and being dared to delete 4 or 5 threads that he was "active" in (as in 1,000 posts or more in each such thread), like "What Are You Listening To Now" and such, just to see if I could freak him out. I did it, but then I restored the threads right away. Really should have waited at least a day before restoring them to see how many people would have gotten all pissy about by the decline in their precious post counts. Good memory. Big smile.

Vagnacular.
