The perfect woman

I have to brag a bit.

Yesterday was my birthday (no presents please). My significant other presented me with an all audio gift selection that included:

1) A subscription to TAS
2) Dave Matthews' "Stand Up"
3) Springsteen "Devils and Dust"
4) Il Divo (not sure about this one)

and

5) 30 vintage LPs that she spent 2 hours at the Salvation Army picking out, not only for content, but for quality as well. She apparently ran into an ex-audiophile's library as the records are in outstanding shape and have the former owner's notes in pencil on the liners :) .

When we were listening to Il Divo this morning, she turned to me and said, "I don't think this recording is very good. It doesn't have the magic your system usually has."

No, you can't have her phone number or e-mail address.

I'm a happy man! :)

    I'll need to see a picture of her. 'Perfect' is a tall order friend.

    Swell, sure. Sweet, absolutley. A real doll, why not.

    Perfect?

    Cheers,
    Russ

    PS, happy birthday broham, good haul.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Ok, perfect is subjective, vintage LPs in great condition, not! ;)

    Yeah....if she was perfect she would have turned to you and suggested something very French with possible oral implications :o
