It's not eveyday that we get a note like this. I thought you'd get a kick out of it.

"Hello My name is ****, I own one of your older computer speaker
systems, a product that is significantly outdated. I recently decided that
the speakers were no longer of use to me. So I did a little \"test\" to
determine the quality of your product. I submerged your speakers in water.
They came out and were working fine (not a big surprise). I then began to
really thrash your speakers when I pored Isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) in to
the speaker and lit it on fire. After fire had consumed all of the alcohol
I took a direct flame to it, burning the outer rim. This may seem extreme
but it was not enough, I then proceeded to drip battery acid on the head of
the speaker. You are most likely asking your self why I have contacted
you. Here is the little detail I left out your speakers were maxed-out
throughout the entire proceedings, and they blasts on, the effects the
\"testing\" had on your product are as follows: less volume capability, a
slight buzz, and a great lacking in beauty. I have contacted you to notify
you that your product has earned it\'s seal of approval from me. You have
produced a product with lasting quality! I wish to commend you on your
achievement."

    Funny...
    those are the same "tests" my wife performs on me on our "special nights":D
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Sounds like that Top Gear episode(s) where they thrashed the diesel Toyota pickup, and it just kept on going.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I would've just taken them out in the desert and shot them.

    On the other hand, I'd probably still be using them.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    "It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again!"

    Why does that phrase seem to fit that guy?
