Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon?


Let me explain. I have extremely high and very vague standards. I look down on everything, and I mean everything, never talking about specifics or my own point of reference. I’ve looked down not just on people and equipment but science and facts as well. They are far far beneath me.  It is all too much for me to explain, but I am sure you are all doing it wrong.  WRONG, with a bold, underlined and hooker-script WRONG font used here.

I start these crazy troll posts which are incredibly successful in nabbing a lot of the regulars in audiogon.

I should be very happy with myself, but sometimes I have to wonder if my level of jerk is too much for all of you too handle. I’m trying to blaze a path, but are you with me audiofools or not???

Erik....🤨....you seem to be in an unusually good mood.  Not that I've any preternatural means of discerning your good/indifferent/bad ones, mind you.  Generally a source of 'even-tempered' advice and 'mho', only seeming 'testy' if some mental dwarf kicked your shins in some fashion.

So...the questions arise:

Did your Lotto #'s hit? (Best reason ever...👍)

An Rx for Zoloft that's working a little too well? (Understood; I'll split it with you....🤪)

An 'alternative' Rx, popular in CA, CO, OR, WA, and others...? (As above...👌)

Or a simple desire to test run Robin Williams' restate of A. Lincoln:

"You can fool some of the people some of the time, and (your 'big' *personal assesment*) the rest off."

(I'll be damned if I let the Mods jerk this post...*growl*)
(...ingesting the 'all in jest'.....)

Well...obviously you have a 'fan club' of sorts...
(...omg!  Even squires has existential breakdowns!  ohnoooo. *etc*)

...concerned about rocray now....must be insanely loud in his head, considering fly gas @ 100 yds.....

A passing diesel hitting the 'jake brake' must make his eyeballs vibrate...
Mho....
I suspect everyone that haunts this space enjoys music to whatever degree that consists of.  For some, just the 'event' of it, and the ability to do so in their own fashion and means.
Others may relish what I consider the 'esoteric'; the 'hunt' to be able to grasp the discrete nuance of their equipment to recreate a performance to the nth degree....
If being able to hear the 1st violinist breathe as well as play with 'brio', well....great.
Do so...let us know. *S*
Most of us fall somewhere in the Great Middle of the Audiophile Bell Curve. ;)

Wishing eternity on anyone is cruel enough, needlebrush.
As for L. Reed....the OP might like that.  Did you ask?
Hell, no.

The only way we as humans will experience eternity is through death.
That...happens eventually, anyway.
You get to 'go there' too.
Watch for what you wish on others... just saying....
  • AZERTY. 
  • QWERTZ.
  • Dvorak, (left or right handed versions).
  • Colemak.
  • Maltron. 
  • JCUKEN.
The 6 major keyboard layouts in use, none of which have 'C' & 'K' next to each other....

Evidence of an Alien keyboard hack....?  Or maybe something more sinister....🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️👀
Erik, I’d love to be creating the questions for the ’debate’ (sic) tonight.

Just that....;)

No audience...just the cameras, the host, and the candid dates...

Real Reality.
@barts...Hey, straight from the GoogleMine, the essence of all whizdumb. *L*  And since the 'Z' is nowhere near the 'Y' in any of the keyboard layouts either...your thoughts are justified....

"Just the facts, mam'..."  or Sir...;)  I couldn't rationalize it, either...*shrug*

16khz...anyone entering this fray is subject to abuse...good natured, hopefully...;)  We all be jerks....we've all done 'It'.  How, and in what fashion...?  'Truth or Dare', like the lady said...*snicker*

nonoise...One could also have the 2 misbehaviourists just slap each other and move on....  Perfectly valid of late, I fear....:)  Esp. if one wears a mask, the other not....

dannad....Perfect. 👍👌  In or out of earphones....;)

glupson...oooh Kay....'more guitan' in Spanish with guitar misspelled? 
sdrawkcab doesn't fly...there's a Koran reference that seems 'out'...

...fries my little brain...yet again....*sigh* ;)


"....on the same key."

Mmmm....played in these time signatures?

13/8....5/4....9/8...17/16....6/4....11/4...32/8....7/16....11/8....

As is said...These are Difficult Times....;)
Ah...gitter san of the guitar sam clan...*sigh*

Y'got me. *5's*  So used to the inobvious the obvious escapes me....like youth, hair, teeth, weight, libido, urine, mental mendacity....
....better results with phrenology, under the circumstances...

Results ought to be just as vague....;)

So....Erik is thinking of ’going South’....well, this forum is a great start....👍

...half way there....😏
@pcrhkr....I suspect the gist of your post is what the man is about...*s*

And I recognize in self what your friend Steve has a tendency to be and act like.... Having done the improbable enough times that some started to take it for granted.  And any 'glass ceiling' was composed of family members that, as a rule, tended to barely understand what they ought to be doing to avoid frustrating me to the point of saying:

"Goodbye, it's been real fun. Not as much fun as real, but...."

...and, after awhile, one tires of pulling rabbits out of one's b*tt when a hat wasn't available...or considered 'too expensive'....

...when they went there later, anyway.

Erik Is Not a Jerk.

I'm happy to be one on demand.  More practiced at it....;)

And if one doesn't 'get' my humour...well, I persist anyway. *L*

Not angry at you, no.  Just....ranting at the walls...*s*
