The Bad Plus Joshua Redman was incredible. Any opportunity to catch this act should not be missed.

Wow. Want it all.

Nice. The show was amazing last night. Josh melded with TBP so, so well.

Yeah, same. :/

There is some truth to your statement, Raffy, and Dan is obviously correct, but let's review the arc of this stupid issue: -Crappy posted a bunch of lingerie shots he took of his co-workers -Chris says he doesn't understand why med students would pose for these pics and then let Crappy post them publicly and wonders if Crappy is doing a fundraising calendar -Crappy unloads on Chris with his typical persecution-complex response raising all kinds of irrelevant straw-man arguments about double standards and such. Then he defends himself and his models on the basis of information Chris didn't have any chance of knowing instead of just making a rational response to Chris's reasonable comments and inquiry -I stew about it and eventually crack and post a self-righteous, half-crocked response dumping on Crappy for blowing everything out of proportion and claiming an attack where there really wasn't one, like he has many times -Crappy responds with a bunch more irrelevant claims but does not address or even acknowledge my main point repeated above -Shelly expresses her valid feeling that this type of photography is demeaning to women (my wife said the same when I vetted my response) and says that she would prefer not to have them posted in the thread without a spoiler tag -Crappy once again flies off the handle with claims of double standards (still not sure what two classes of people he refers to) and disdain for Shelly's feelings: he says he is insulted, that Shelly lacks courage, that she is just part of the mob attacking him (a legal US citizen, no less), that she is prudish, backward, unevolved, offensive, and stupid. He twists her simple statements on her own feelings about this kind of photography and honest statement that she would feel the same way whether the subjects were med students or strippers into a claim that the models are strippers. He also assumes that Shelly would chastise or belittle anyone who looked at strippers or porn, but she never said anything like that either. -Various other people chime in with positive thoughts on the photos and Crappy personally, and some wonder why I'm such an asshole to him on occasion. Other people here may not see the out of whack and misguided responses by Crappy the same way I do, and that is fine. I don't actually have a "beef" with him at all. I think Crappy would acknowledge that I was friendly and supportive of him when we first met and when Gene and I gave him a place to stay for free so he could attend CanJam Florida. Hell, I put up with his weird math trance and I almost threw Stevieo off the third floor balcony when I tried to steal Crappy's couch. I just have little patience for Crappy after years of sharing HF and HC space with him, and this whole issue is just another example. His obnoxious and unwarranted retorts to Chris and Shelly are prime examples of why he annoys me. Sorry for stirring the pot and keeping this going, but I thought I would explain myself for those who asked. Now I will attempt to return to live and let live vis a vis Crappy.

That's hawt.

Right. You've posted lots of pics of women posing in lingerie and naked in beds. It's just like any other day. No need to act any differently. I'm going back to ignoring you now.

Agreed.

One of these. Not sure how many years old, but I'd guess 30...

Typical Crappy bullshit. You didn't say ANY of this shit in your titillating posts. You just had pics with names or references to bio info about "these women." Even when Antonio made a joke about how you were able to take these pervy boudoir photos you didn't explain it. You just wanted to show off the fact that some hot women let you take girly pics of them. You didn't say they knew and approved of you posting their pics in a public forum. You didn't say that they had aspirations of becoming models. You didn't say anything to justify your holier than thou bullshit about Chris being offensive, which he wasn't. It was perfectly understandable for Chris to think you were doing something stupid or obnoxious because you didn't offer any of this context or explain that the subjects knew you were showing images that are typically shared with a spouse or partner exclusively. I normally just ignore you and didn't say what Chris did even though I thought the same thing, and worse. I can't wait for you to say you're not sure what you ever did to piss me off, but I guess you won't now...

I bought my mom and dad a basic 55" Samsung LCD about 5 years ago that he watches the shit out of every day. He often says how much he likes it and it is easy to use. The Samsung that Jeff bought has those gestures and talking commands or some nonsense so I don't think you need to worry about that stuff on a basic 40" TV. Also, my now 93 year old dad uses cable and Apple TV interchangeably and he is no techy, so if your mom needs streaming you cannot beat the ease of use.

Have a great one Todd! Nice of you to give your birthday IEMs to the other weekend birthday boy. Cheers!

RIP Scott & Robert.

Have a great one Tom! Cheers!

It might be interesting if you did something other than "I kid, I kid" ...

Zach and Raffy Make a Porno

Thanks Dan and Colin. The Wahl looks like a good option.

Speaking of the beardy boys club, does anyone have a recommendation for an electric beard trimmer?

Happy birthday you old pirate! Hope you have a great one, matey! Cheers!

Happy birthday Haj! Hope it's been a great one. Cheers!

Yup. It worked for awhile then went fuzzy. They replaced it at the Apple Store in 30 minutes or so following diagnosis. Fine since then.

Looks amazing Grahame. Where is that?

Shilly rabbit, Bose are for kids.
