    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    You consider prophylactics to be hardware? Would they be considered isolation or coupling?

    I thought they were gaskets. :)

    Not so sure about the thread turning into excrement, but has definitely somehow evolved into sausage.

    My small 5jr's are on foam blocks and my 5B's on a pair of wrought iron stands that I got for 5 dollars at a tag sale.
    My speaker wire is lamp cord from the hardware store and yet people still tell me how good my system sounds.
    I'm a low budget guy, with good ears, but I don't feel the need to hear the fat lady in the 24th row pass wind during Beethovens 9th symphony, as recorded from a 1/2 speed special collecter's edition master.

    Not even close compared to the captioned photo of Madeleine Albright above. I have been a drunken sailor on liberty in Tijuana and can honestly say motorheads post above might be one of the top five most disturbing things I have ever seen.

    The BBL Institute of Feline Inebriation Studies? I've read some of your papers and doctrines. Facinating theories!

    Not even close. That photo is of Helen Thomas who passed away almost three years ago just short of her 93rd birthday.

    I stand corrected. Funny actually because I went to google images to verify and the same image is there for Albright

    Your comment was in the context of a RIP thread. Anyone would have received flack in any of the RIP threads.

    If you are disposed by this forum, why do you return?

    I can comb the internet daily and feel disgruntlement, but guess what? I don't waste my time and energy.

    Yet you seem to hover over this forum just looking for things that to harp on in disent.

She was a well known member of the White House press corps and covered presidents since Eisenhower. I find it incredible that there was a bit of an uproar when Prince's performances were called mediocre, yet it is perfectly fine to demean a woman without objection, especially one with a long and distinguished career? Says something, doesn't it?
    Not sure why you decided to climb onto the soapbox to pursue this, must be a slow news day where you live.
    But so what? Being a member of the WHPC hardly constitutes having a distinguished career... :p

    Really? You must not have a cat. Mine absolutely loves rolling/clawing her way down the carpeted stairs leading to my den - no alcoholic beverages needed. :)
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Mine would wriggle her way down the stairs on her back to build up static to release against my unsuspecting ankle. Damn thing was insane.

    I had a Maine Coon that my Golden Retriever would use as a chewy toy. He would pick her up and carrying her over to his bed and curl up with her. She'd get up and move to the couch. He'd go over and pick her back up again. Damndest things I've ever seen.
