That is one orange amp (on the round table).

Which one, the Stingray?

I've had the unfortunate experience of having the seller respond with, "we don't have access to the item, but if it's not the one you like, you may return it" &c. -- so at least they're good about it. I was fortunate, however, in the couple of cases that it mattered.

I forgot how much I loved the alternate history presented in the opening credits. I loved the visual reference to:

Blur, The Great Escape

Ich liebt "Dark Cabaret".

Stewart vs. Cramer

Seagate 1.5TB for US$120 @ NewEgg

The Name of this Band is Talking Heads

See?

I'm sure something like that's been done. There's a magazine that has a custom pc build on the cover of every magazine (Maximum PC? CPU? I forget). They do some pretty outlandish things, like put lava lamps in the liquid cooling portion. (Alright, I haven't actually seen that done, but I still think it has been.) Um...not sure I agree with Monsieur Baguette de la Aardvark. I do agree with his general principle, and to the conclusion, to a certain extent. But if you go so small as to basically bleed the cooling directly to the outside, I do think small is good. To wit: HP Voodoo Firebird something. Factory liquid cooled computers with 1333 FSB == rockin'.

Thanks, now I've got "Sailing Shoes" stuck in my head with the mental image of this guy:

That's a classic t-shirt. On a similar theme, I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Sniper -- don't run, you'll only die tired."

Is it (will it be) on hulu? I will, otherwise I'll have to wait.

Well, probably because you could learn a lot just by searching the forums, this question is very familiar. I mean, try searching on "best amp" or something. The fact that you didn't know whether or not the ES1 was still being made told me that (a) you had spent enough time searching to discover its existence, but ( not enough to get the whole story. So try just searching more.

Interest just went up a notch.

Oh.

Shoes flying off == double-plus-funneh.

x2! x12! Alright, that was a typo, but I left it. How about the boomerang? Personal favorite: thermos -- it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold -- how do it know?

Seconded. Headamp is your best choice, if you know nothing about DIY and don't want to have to worry about quality control. I'm pretty sure there isn't any commercial alternative, although you could always commission someone to build it, but then you have to worry about quality control, hence the earlier statement. And: forever is a long time, I'll settle for a couple seconds.
