Give 'em slippers:

That's because they're on to you. Time to move perhaps? Or at least find a new liquor store?

Sergey Lukyanenko, The Last Watch aka The Final Watch -- Jesus Christ this guy is good. On top of the whole fantasy storyline, there's also the mystery, and I love how he presents the "detective" going through his thoughts, and getting stuck on a particular analysis, and it clouding his judgment towards seeing the real thing. (It's a sequel to the Night Watch/Day Watch/Twilight Watch trilogy.)

I'm in your white-trash hot-tub, warming parboiling my harblz.

I dig both those albums. On a side note, I now work for a guy with the same name. No, I didn't ask if he thought a reunion with David Byrne was out of the question. I should have started singing, "I've got the heat turned on...and the windows down..."

Polyester is a very durable material, it can be used for a lot of things.

Offenbach: Ga

Well, fewer components in the signal path would be the theoretical reason why they would think it would sound better. Maybe "frequency response" isn't a high priority with them.

Anyone know of a good resource for determining the details of audio tracks of Blu Ray disks? I was browsing in the store, and if I hadn't picked up the Cure Trilogy Live in Berlin and looked at the back, I never would have known that there was a stereo 24/96 track on it. Wouldn't mind knowing if there are others out there. I'm sure there are some good high-res surround disks, but I'm of course mostly interested in stereo. Yes, I already know about the 2L label (DSD and such, music-only Blu-Ray disks), and of course the Nine Inch Nails Ghosts I-IV was the first Blu-Ray I ever bought. And yes, while googling, I did stumble across that Celine Dion disk. Perhaps if you know of any others, just post them here?

Fucking censors.

I think it's just an EQ. You know, like a crossover, except it's not helping the transition between drivers, it's only accomodating for the difference between driver and "flat".

You know, initially I read that as 1500 somethings -- as in, you left out the units. And I was wondering what you were talking about, that's not a problem. Then I realized you meant that you had bought 1500 quantity. That's a lot of polyester.

Dr. Motte meets Gabriel Le Mar, Fax CD

Hummina hummina. Oh, and hey, I didn't even know you could do that. And why does she have a penis?!?!?

Done.

Also: Brandy. Or Thai. Or Indian.

It's the same connector as the iPod, so yes; but there are other issues (the software on the iPhone has a way of determining if the connector is iPhone compatible or not and complains, but I believe otherwise works).

wine.woot also.

Dom didn't tell you until 3am, or you looked like a douche until 3am? [/vague-sentence-construction-police]

Hmm...puts me in mind of iPodPJ's form...I wonder if he really meant to detract people from wanting to do business with him. I've also heard the same method used for quitting smoking.

Strauss, Dons Quixote & Juan, RCALSSACD

This, again. "...That ain't me, babe..."

Bathys UV watch

This is so "me" it's not even funny. Too bad it's $550...
