    When I do take mine off (which is rare) I strap them on my arms and jump off very high dams, bridges and cliffs and start flapping really really hard. Kinda like the Coyote in Loony tunes. (Makes me wish I had some 1.2TLs rather than my 3.1TLs (The 1.2's are taller and therefore give more lift)):D

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Do you want a Video?

    Can you put it on DVD and Media mail it.

    I keep um on. No damage in 6 years from 3 kids and I would like to keep it that way with #4 around the corner. If it works don't fix it.

    Didn't you say the romance was currently out of the picture?;)

    I also said I'm working on it. You can still make babies with out the romance, it's just more fun with it. We have always had our "play time" just haven't been making time to sit and just enjoy each others company. You the cuddling up on the couch and enjoying a good flick. The little surprises she doesn't expect, a little nibble on the neck while she is making dinner, that hug from behind that let her know I still love her. It's mainly been me slipping into a funk with the luck I have had with work over the past several years as well as a few other complications thrown in there as well. I have vent on here a few times in the past to help me get through( happy I have an online family that I feel comfortable and trusting enough to do so on). I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now, and just have to keep the will power and motivation going so I can get back up and going.

    Sorry for the thread jack, and I thank all of you for being such a great group of people.

    Ah ha, so you know the drill! I just came home yesterday with a single white rose (that's all I could afford) and it made her day. I also leave little notes on the coffee pot in the wee small hours of the morning to try and start her day off on a good note. Little things add up and romantic nookie is far far better than the robotic quicky!;):D

    Indeed! My wife keeps telling me she doesn't feel sexy since she gained some weight. I keep telling her she more sexy now than when I first met her . . . she thinks I'm full of ****! Sometimes it backfires.:eek::rolleyes:

    I have always loved my wife's hips, just something about that bombshell hip to waist ratio. After three kids that ratio has increased some, and does not bother me in the least. I let her know the other day as I was rubbing my hand up and down her side. Just one of the things I like as well as ****, which she is not shy of either:D

    I throw mine at any bushes I see moving in the yard when there is no wind. Sometimes it's just a skunk or racoon, but I'm always worried that it might be some deranged humanoid life form pissing on them, which is why I keep my grilles handy for throwing.
    Alea jacta est!

    The SRT grills make perfectly matched skis and since there are two per satellite, I have an extra set in case I break one.

    I leave my speaker grills on for the most part as I like the protection. Sound wise it really doesn't make a difference. If you take away the cool factor of them off , you will hear no difference on most speakers.

    I don't think the "acoustically transparent" cloth used on my 1.2TLs is transparent. There is an audible difference with them on, not a dramatic difference, but a subtle one, one which is noticable.

    Toddler in the house so the grills stay on unless I am getting to listen with her either 1) out of the house or 2) asleep. Since I work from home I usually take them off during the day since it does make a subtle difference.

    Peace,
