    The Audiophile has a thing for Van Morrison, and it is not a small thing. In fact, if Amazon.com peddled Van Morrison bed sheets and footie pajamas, they would be in our possession, and I would be asked to wear the footie pajamas even in the summer when footie pajamas are generally retired to the back of the closet with the penguins and snow mobiles.

    LMAO!

    Thanks Dog for that link... they should make that a sticky here so we can always find it.:cool::cheesygrin:

    Blasphemous!

    I just went through a similar box-purging exercise, but I didn't get rid of ANY of my originals. I actually had way more boxes than gear, so I made a list of every single pive of gear, speaker, or cable that I wanted to have a box for, and then I matched them up, one by one, with appropriately sized boxes. I labeled all the non-original boxes with the intended contents so I don't screw up the system in the future. When I was done, every piece on the list had a box, and I threw out all the extras.... well, I threw out most of the extras... I was able to convince myself to keep some of the extras based on hypothetical, non-realistic scenarios. Do I have a problem?

    I thought this was great:
    I've had the pleasure of an appliance duet several times this year, but with The Audiophile away for the weekend, I'm hoping to fire up enough pinging and dinging devices to have a three-part harmonious experience that will rank right beneath marrying an audiophile and spawning more audiophiles.

    Clearly, this sort of business is only embarked upon by deranged people who need medication and shock therapy. I propose this is what happens when one is led to believe that making a piece of toast will get dirt on the electricity and diminish the fidelity of the stereo. So, when The Audiophile returns and asks me what I did in his absence, I'll probably just say, "Oh, I went shoe shopping and got a mani-pedi," because that is a lot safer than telling him what I did to the electricity.

    Some of you freaks need help...:lol:

    And this one rocks:
    Friday, March 23, 2012 Original Sin
    The origin of an important word occurred to me a while back when I was half listening to The Audiophile while he was on the phone. He was having an animated conversation with another audiophile about cable. Yes, cable. Always with the cable.

    I could not help but wonder if Eve, when half listening to Adam, ever found herself wondering why Adam was so enchanted with some of the seemingly unimportant things in the garden. Like the dirt, perhaps, as he muttered to himself about the quality of the soil in the garden OF EDEN, for heaven's sake.

    Anyway, I was thinking that Eve, being the perfect wife except for the snake incident, probably supported Adam with his endless musings on the nature of the dirt. That is until the day she overheard him saying something about spending half of their annual salary for new cables, I mean new dirt, at which point Eve probably dropped a pantload. Except since she wasn't wearing pants, it immediately became known in the garden as Eve's droppings. And, yes, there you have it, the origin of the word eavesdropping, which, as Eve quickly learned, is NOT a good idea.
    And that, my friends, is audio winning.

    Throw out my "boxes", yeah, right! I don't even throw out my TV (video) boxes! Have half a basement full of them! lol

    The average American family moves 5 times in its lifetime. Do "you" want to move your gear without the BOXES??

    May sound funny in the blog. But it is intrinsically "practical"!
