  1. HeadAmp and ECP would be my recommendations.
  2. Happy Birthday!
  3. No doubt in my mind that Ali is the greatest boxer ever.
  4. It may not matter to you at all, but I can attest that Wipe New will make those wheel well flares, vinyl top and other plastic bits look as new. I really like that color too, most Jeeps are not as conservative/classy. http://www.target.com/p/as-seen-on-tv-wipe-new/-/A-14402918?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=Google_PLA_df&LNM=%7C14402918&CPNG=Automotive&kpid=14402918&LID=PA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=14402918
  5. Sweet! Lookin' good there Nate! The ride height makes a huge difference.
  6. Awesome! first album...Led Zeppelin 4!
  7. Not to mention the two are apples and oranges IMO.
  8. In Jim's defense, he did get the rodent drunk before the molestation.
  9. Awesome! Thanks Ben!
  10. It's consistently semi-annoying.
  11. Very, very sad news Steve. R.I.P. Jim.
  12. That's fowl !
  13. I've had many straight guys question my homosexuality, based on my boyfriends being prettier than their girlfriends. Honestly, I've never fully understood it either. Any hint of a muscular build had me turning my nose up.
  14. Except that I can prove that I made wood before Headphile's inception. I remember it well, it was 1977 and Leif Garrett came on the TV. I had to put a pillow in my lap so my parents wouldn't see.
  15. And may I add looked fantastic! The particular piece of stock he used on your pair had absolutely phenomenal graining.
  16. I believe that's exactly what Himmler said regarding Hitler.
  17. I think that the man offered a legitimate service for those who wanted a headphone that was set apart from others via wooden mods, although some of his claims on the resulting sound signatures were vastly overstated. I also think that some of his creations sounded pretty good. I can attest that his minor modding of the K340 did indeed improve the sound, though not in a huge way. He also gave people a stand with which to display their cherished phones. I also enjoyed some of our early messages back and forth. Sharing woodworking stories and such. On the flip side...the Darth Beyers were a head mounted whoopie cushion IMO. They sounded like flatulence with a headband. Worst fucking things I ever heard. I couldn't and still can't understand why so many raved about them. That coupled with Larry's opinion that no one else had the right to build a wooden headphone stand, or modify a headphone with wood involved, left a sour taste in my mouth. I mean it was actually as if the guy personally invented and patented wood. I had problems with Larry the wood Nazi. P.S. Like Ben, I too was surprised he was still in business.

  19. What the hell is a Vixen?
  20. Never had Strep, but my Sister used to get it a lot. I know it sucks vicariously. Feel better soon Raffy!

    Remember when...

    Exactly how I grew up. I can recall many times that my Mom was helped out of a ditch by a passing motorist. I can also recall Dad gathering us boys after a heavy snow, to go seek out people in need of help. When I left Anchorage in 2001, I ran into more than one individuals who'd pull over, then offer to pull you out for a high price. That pissed me off. But still, for everyone of those there were at least 10 good hearted people willing to help without thought of gain.

    Don't misunderstand me, I don't feel that it's a shame we feel frightened about stopping to help someone. I feel that it's a shame that we need to feel frightened to help. And I don't condone anyone putting themselves in any kind of danger. Each situation should be individually assessed, and any doubt should rule out. When I lived in Portland, OR I was driving downtown one night, when I came across a woman with her car hood up. She tried to flag me down, even jumping in front of my car. Something just didn't feel right, and she seemed way to aggressive for a woman surrounded by open businesses, where she couldv'e gone to call for help. I continued down the street and noticed two large guys peeking around the corner. I'm certain that was a robbery setup. Yesterdays situation looked harmless, as I had full view of her car and the surrounding area. So I took a chance.

    I'm not always a good guy though. My first thought was that I didn't want to be bothered. Then it was "she's probably fine". But those niggling questions pop up fast ... Is she having a medical emergency? Is she lost? What if that was my Mom? I know that it's a different world today, but does it have to be?
