Detlof great idea! Why not get Kubla onto this -- he's a creative / script / etc writer. Think we can get him to Babel? From there onto Cannes?
It might cover reparations for the Jadis you threw out of your window a while back! |
Thunders, how do you manage sleeping on your back with your back to the wall? :)
Stereo, I bet you he's listening to Waits' "My Piano has Been Drinking"... |
D-K, thanks for the tip! Regarding cheapo cognac, Detlof, I remember (a drunk) N. Simone yrs ago spitting out a gde champagne and screaming for a glass of the cafe stuff. BTW at don't you find that cognac makes the system sound worse the morning after?
What was the subject, again?? |
Back to basics. Detlof, WHICH cognac? Also, what free associations run through your mind as you consider the brand *before* drinking? AS you're drinking? AFTER?
Can we thereby compose the neo dadaist, audiogon-song of musical drinking?
More in line with the topic as expressed in J's recent assumption (of what said topic is):
Has anyone read Joyce's selected letters to his sweetheart?
Very *expressive* vocabulary...
Cheers! |
We're progressing quite nicely, I think. D-K, a scotch chaser should do the trick *and* keep the urinary background vocals going as well (candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker...). Detlof, there *must* be a pill combination that impairs one's hearing while keeping us happy with the tunes -- cheaper than having to upgrade all the time. Also, don't have to worry about the PPC's power: mine is currently down to 219V, and dropping. Maybe I'll get a 219/230% discount on the next bill...
Nilthepill, have you replaced the tube?
Kubla, can you give us feedback on the sonic experience of the morpho-scopolamine Detlof suggested?
Any takers for my stash of lithium? Detlof has forbidden it for me but hasn't *yet* said anything about the rest of us... |
J, take it easy on the driving... don't U want out of circulation again. Between you & D-K's pills, take it real cool. How about Kubla doing the driving after the party -- Kubla R U sober??? |
Hey, Detlof, it seems we're keyboarding simultaneously. Just saw yr post after posting mine.
Reserve on lithium set high, guys. 10/10 quality and condition. Shipment *included*.
Detlof, I've wanted to ask this: do you speak Hungarian?
Cheers all (I just popped some serotininereuptakeinhibitors and feel cheery). Copied that one from Detlof. |
Cool, J, thanks. Starting to look forward to my next go. Rent's still paid for, right? May be the only way to get somethng out of my annual tax killing (*my* killing -- not the gov't).
Keep on trucking (with or w/out the DL -- don't let bureaucracy get U down) |
Good advice there, Detlof. Thanks! I'll settle for viagra as a pick me up. Need to double my amp current.
BTW, I, too, am a depraved European; what's worse, I now live in Europe... (Don't you just love depravity?)
Cheers! |
Wazzat about tracks??? Only ONE??? (I'll track this one down with my shrink and report back) :) |
Have you all noticed that audio connoisseurs double up as connoisseurs of other goodies too, often of the alcoholic variety? Remember those "best of" threads for single malt, gin, beer, etc?
Slawney, only 30k MINUS tax -- a steal! (R U sure the price is in USD? If it was, say, 30k Italian Lire, I could just about afford a 30day money-back trial.)
Cheers! |
Kubla, is it OK to use the word "excrement"? |
Everyone, this is getting serious. Detlof's slept through the whole week, occasionally pausing to say shit (SORRY, excrement) and con. I'm talking about his only lucid moments here... plus he wants to chuck his rig out of the window (without disclosing the address to our welcoming committee). This isn't simple tube popping stuff: he must have killed a few output transformers, at least.
Thunders, in a moment of lucidity, he did mention cheapo cognac -- you think that's the culprit? |
K, I'm checking out prices on Stealths right away. Had fresh butter delivered from Normandy today: can we smuggle some to Detlof? Should we join forces with Don S.'s boys & generate a few alliances? The Don could orchestrate a suitable reception for Dssman.
BTW, what does "Dssman" stand for? |
Katharina, LOL! Thanks for making my day brighter (it's day in these parts).
Must get the poor guy out of the can...
Kubla, I'm running out of butter... Pls tell me where Detlof's stashed whatever's left of his system. I'll use that as a down-payment for Cornfed.
I'm only doing this for Detlof, you know ;~) |
Ok, I get the polite hint: you guys are expecting *me* to do the dirty, rig picking & storing, job. After all, Detlof lives just (1500 miles) round the corner from me... I'm happy to help.
Kelly, I'm looking into suitable charters. I understand your hourly rate runs into 3digits, so I asked for a F16 to fly you over -- will that be OK? |
Alberto Bonaporta is of Sicilian decent. He belongs to the US branch of the family better known as BONAPARTE, of Napoleonic fame. Hence, the worldwide connections. Alberto moves, as is his wont, in exalted circles where it is rumoured (got this from a swiss chamber-Flitchen) that RR stands for "Release se*R*um". It's a secret formula closely guarded by the family, and well serving for over 200 years! The immediate effects, upon skin (or other)contact, are to release psychological inhibitions; hence the *better* sound (it's the skin contact that does it, not the vinyl cleaning), sensuous Flitchens', and complacent soldiers in the Napoleonic Wars. Just rumours, ofcourse...
The butler in that same household indicated that a company called Pfizer had recently broken the family's secret formula and produced its own concoction unashamedly commercialised under a different name with no credit to the originators! He *thinks* it is sold in solid form, but couldn't supply the brand name.
The game is afoot, methinks. And, we are all in very deep waters! If Slawney manages to infiltrate the prison further and Katharina keeps watch on the media side, maybe we'll get to the bottom (Thunders, we're yer Flitchens?) of it all.
Oh, BTW: I managed to locate Detlofstrabe -- but couldn't get near D's lodgings. There's a 24 hr watch around the block with cops sporting modified Uzis und Kalashnikovs. My quattro-fils didn't get me anywhere nearer than a mile away.
What do you suggest I do? Please help!
Greg |
Wirehead, does this mean that Alberto Bonaporta and G B A Salvatore could be related?? Please keep on digging! We're close to unravelling a mystery that's been kept behind closed doors -- I can feel it in my bones... |
Detlof, sorry I missed you on the bahn (I must have zipped past you in my Bugatti;~). Good to see you're back in action. I was ready to propose a rescue expedition.
Cheers! |
Thanks Detlof. I'm trying to negotiate the fine with the bahnpolizei o-fuhrer. Presently we're down to house, wife and what's left of the Bugatti (for the autobahn museum). He hasn't shown interest in the rig -- yet.
Any sugggestions, anyone? |
Detlof, thanks for volunteering. I think a swiss-gold plated gizmo will do the trick. Scratch Siemens and replace with "Piaget Com".
I'm going to get the guy suitably excited with my exalted connections in anticipation of your visit.
As to the Bugatti, it looks more like a Yugo after the crash. I think we should stick to your F40.
Cheers! |
Any Silver Arrow Mercs laying around? I'm ready to trade in my quattro fils -- nay, even a few kms of Valhalla -- for one of those. Detlof, I have a Maybach in the back yard. Interested? (would consider exchanging for yr Silver...) |
PERFECT condition, 10/10 (few unnoticeable scratches here & there) still under guarantee, complete with wooden tyres.
Detlof, what's a "beemer"? Not that 3wheeler manufactured by those bayerische something or other? |
