    Apluys? Jesus. Hooked on Phonics man. I'll start a freakin collection for you.

    Oh, Oh, Can I change mine? WAAAAA! :D
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    In.

    From Ron-P
    Russ, I ALWAYS use an ****-gasket. Never hover because of splash down and back splatter. I also float landing pad made from TP for a soft landing to avoid the above. One can never be too cautious when dealing with the general public.

    You can find the original thread here:

    I dunno about the funniest, but it's right up there.

    I unfortunately forgot this rule the other day. I just know I'm gonna come down with AIDS or something. I think I felt my immune system die immediately :(

    Well, if there is no TP, or you forget to build your TP landing pad, while your ripping out the center of the ****-gasket you can use that as an emergency landing pad. A little less resistance to heavy loads compared to TP but it'll absorb the blunt force of the first drop. Of course, remember, that the center of the ****-gasket will not hold up to strong wind gusts or payloads released under severe pressure.

    By all means, never ride the public porcelain pony bare back.

    One of the funniest things I've ever read. Period.
    Posted by shack in a thread about cable burn in.


    quote:
    Originally posted by gmorris
    Lets all just get along for a hot minute and assume that cable burn-in is real. This would mean that all cables burn-in. So, that would mean if you hooked up your rig with lamp cord, the lamp cord would eventually burn-in, and make the rig sound better.



    This comment got me to thinking. Could there really be burn-in for lamp cords? And if so, what better to test it on than…..LAMPS. We bought a pair for our living room a couple of months ago and I swear that the one we have used the most is much brighter now. It is right next to the chair where we usually sit when we read so it gets used a lot and the other one is on a table and rarely gets turned on. One is obviously burned-in and the other is not…an ideal situation to see if lamp cord burn-in phenomenon exists. I enlisted my wife to help with the experiment.

    First we tried the double blind test. My wife and I both put on blindfolds and she would turn the lamp on and off I would try to tell which one was brighter and vice versa. No definitive conclusion here. With the blindfolds on we really couldn’t even tell if the lamps were on or off.

    Next I remembered that several folks felt that some pre test evaluation was necessary to help recognize the differences during the test. My wife and I both did some critical looking at the lamp (sans shade) for several minutes to better familiarize ourselves with each one. Again, no real conclusion here. The spots made telling the difference a little difficult (they have finally gone away). And thanks for all of the well wishes for my wife. The eye doctor says her eyesight should be 90% as soon as the patches come off and there will only be slight permanent damage to the retinas.

    Well, as you can see the testing for lamp cord burn-in was generally inconclusive. I will say that I CAN tell a noticeable difference between the brightness of the 2 lamps with the burned-in one being much brighter. I’m sure there are computer programs that could be utilized here….but all I can say is “Trust Your Eyes”.


    **EDIT** – Never mind. I just found out my daughter put in a 100 watt bulb in the reading lamp and the other has a 75 watt bulb. I think this may alter the findings somewhat.
