    That's either a small mama bear or the biggest Salmon I have ever seen. Wow.

    When I went salmon fishing in Alaska around Kenai, I did crack a salmon and eat raw….so fresh, the salmon still had sea leaches on them from high tide into the rivers

    This got my curiosity going, so I looked it up. Chinook/King salmon are the largest salmon and get up to 58 inches (1.5 meters) long and 126 pounds.

    That would translate to 0.0073232323 furlong and 9 stones

    Tom, in the future please use units that the average American can relate to.

    Okay, no problem.

    58 - The apparent average IQ of an American who votes.

    1.5 meters - The preferred length of a digital cable or Ron Jeremy's member. You decide. 😉

    126 pounds - More than most of the women I dated throughout my life.

    Did I get an "A" on my term report MBBL? The other stuff I read the Cliff notes on Wikipedia.....

    Is that a B&O speaker hung up on the wall?

    we miss our little hooligans, too -- most of the time, at any rate.

    Zappa (the one in the photo that's black and white grey on the average) did some hifi component damage in his time -- including popping a reel to reel tape as it played on myRT-909 in the living room. I had foolishly gone to another room... and, suddenly, there was silence. :#

    The other one, Timmy, came close.
    I think I've told the story here before. When I brought home my (beautiful) pair of Altec 604E Duplexes, acquired from a friend & hifi fellow traveler in southwestern Vermont, I put them in the basement to await the cabinets that were being built for them. Given that they're, in some respects, quite fragile, and relatively hard (and not inexpensive) to repair or to replace, I draped a couple of towels over the baskets with the goal of protecting the back side of the woofer cones.
    Later that same evening I had a bad feeling about their well being, so I went downstairs to check on them.
    Timmy had, apparently beat me to it.

    I think I found a couple of large boxes for them immediately after defusing the situation.

  • In my hometown, when I was a kid, there was a restaurant called Coney Island Lunch that served delicious hot dogs that the counter guy would line up on his arm. Everyone called them "sweats" and the choice one was the one he placed in the crook of his arm. The legend was that it absorbed the most amount of flavor.
