edited October 2007 in The Clubhouse
For those of you have been following My Money Pit Thread today I finally got a check from the insurance company.

To whoever can come the closest to correctly guessing the amount I will lovingly send you your choice of either the new Nine Inch Nails Year Zero cd or the new Melissa Etheridge Awakenings cd. I listened to both of them and they are not my cup of tea but I am weird.



I will give you a hint :It's not enough


I will give you another hint :It's more than I expected.


Rules: You are only allowed one guess.

You are not allowed two guesses nor three . One being the sole number of thine guesses. Four shall not be the number of thine guessing unless thoust dost so only by dividing them in half and then subtracting one. 5 is totally out of the question.

The winner will be announced Friday.

    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

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Was it enough for a shrubbery? Because...

    Then! When you have found the shrubbery, you must place the new shrubbery here beside the other shrubbery, only slightly higher so we get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle...
