    Old enough to remember "My Mother the Car" which, until just recently, I had managed to forget. :'(

    BTW, the title song for "MMTC" was written and 'performed' by Paul Hampton.
    You know, the Paul Hampton who also wrote the following ditty:

    I did not know that -- but I did remember that theme song over the decades.
    Pretty sure I built a model of that mother-car. I know I built a model of the taxi from the short-lived TV show The Good Guys (with Herb Edelman & Bob Denver).

    For the record -- I did retire young. Well, a little young. Still too young for Medicare, actually. Hope there still is Medicare when I am old enough to take advantage of it :neutral:

    There's an old saying for that Mark....." Too old to rock n roll and too young to die."

    Clutch Cargo anyone ? Animation sure came a long way. Garfield Goose ?

    HR Puffnstuff was a good one I almost forgot about. Another was a show called MR. Chicken.....not sure if it was Don Knott's .....or not.

    Clutch Cargo was one of those where the characters had superimposed human lips rather than animation for speaking, wasn't it? That was a weird "innovation"!

    Age? Means nothing. Will be 58 soon but still have not grown up. And don't plan on doing it any time soon.

    I was watching the herd playing "Mass Effect Andromeda" and commented on the facial animation that EA used on this release. I referenced Clutch Cargo.

    .... I had to explain Clutch Cargo. Or at least I tried to.

    heh --- that graphic is like Clutch Cargo with inverse polarity ;) (Or the two's complement of Clutch Cargo, if one might be more mathematically inclined)

    Your are in luck, just saw a commercial for Garanimals.

    One of our children had a Beanie Baby thing for a while.
    One of the cats who darkened our doorways for a couple of years (on loan from its mistress when she was in cat-free housing in college) liked altitude and proclaimed himself their Emporer.

    Those are on top of a tall bookshelf -- you can see the corner of the doorframe to the right in the photo.

    Well, that one above (Harpo), was our son's girlfriend's cat.
    She's still his girlfriend; Harpo is NLA.

    Harpo bore an uncanny resemblance to our tabby, Tim (the Timorous Tomcat).

    Man the rekkid playah is almost too big for that rack!

    It was a hifi get-together at one of the Northern New England guru's homes -- so the setup was somewhat cobbled up. For the record, the system in the photo (sporting electrodynamic loudspeakers and single-ended 50 amplifiers) belongs to Dave Slagle of Intact Audio fame.

    note that the cartridge is of the electromagnetic kind! :) That Dave, he loves his magnetism.

    The question is how well do they look on their side while supporting a tv. Your post does not address the most important function of a speaker.

    point taken. It would be really hard to sit components on top of one used as a center channel :(
