Arthur Salvatore WoW comments??

We got lawyers, we got shrinks, now all this thread needs is an abstract philosopher: "without music life would be stupid ..." Nietzche

It sounds like Detlof is at least safe while in custody. I heard that AS is so POd about his brother that he is sending a team of flittchens down the strasse to look for Detlof. And their all dressed in Salvatore Ferragamo. Lay low my friend.

Thunders: With butter

Eyin' a new Boulder amp are you Kelly? Just remember that mixing that fancy booze they serve in first class with the Napoleonic code and Berlitz .... well just remember Detlof

Here's a thought: maybe we can "toeten zwei voegel mit ein stein". Why don't we sell Detlof's remaining equipment on Audiogon and post it to Dssman. We can stipulate "buyer must pick up, personal cheques only". I would pay a mark to see that exchange with AS's flittchens. Maybe the uber flittchens aren't women after all - might explain the bulges.

If Detlof is going cold turkey I hear butter helps smooth things out.

Detlof: Maybe the warden would improve his bass output if he auditioned your banged up Jadis monos? I guess he would have to pick them up cause you ain't going anywhere? If we time everything just right you could walk out of there scot free, flittchenless.

Slawney you are a genius. Quite right, Arthurporter shipped a bottle of RR to Detlof and Sedond at the end of May and next thing you know we have this problem. Somebody should reeally get in touch with Sedond. I wonder if Porters his real name, can anybody translate Italian?

In the meantime Mr. "Porter"(yea, right) is having a party at his place and some of the brighter luminaries on this site are all passed out. I bet you he sprayed them all with RR as part of his diabolical scheme. If I recall he posted his system once and its value could have Switzerland swimming in Flittchens for a hundred years. I wonder if he has amassed his fortune by taking other peoples systems? Are Detlofs' Jadis amps still lying in the strasse? I wonder what Mr. Groesse is up to? Maybe Detlof is the least of our worries. Somebody should do a little recon over at Porter's place. Me? I'm gonna hide my equipment.

Gregm you are a fountain of historic knowledge. I did a little digging at the Italian Patent Office. In 1799, days before the Battle of Marengo in Italy, a Corsican alchemist applied for a patent of a compound called "Sciofiere Timpani" which loosely translated means "Release the Eardrum". It was described as a tonic to permit people to hear better. In the Battle of Marengo Napoleons forces captured the alchemist and extracted the formula. It worked all to well and drove people into a sonic nirvana much the way Detlof fell. It is now I remember in History class there was speculation as to why Napoleon was really exiled as it may have been for health reasons. Anyhow the alchemists families, with their Corsican ties continue to make the drug and sell it illegally. It was soon overshadowed by other opiates and wasn't heard of again. Funny thing is that the alchemists name was Gustavo Borodino Arturo Salvatore. Coincidence? Gotta do more digging. Slawney and Katharina, keep your eyes peeled, your ears to the ground something is happening.

Anything but greg. The Bonaportas and Salvatores are mortal enemies (you know, one of those "family" things). One of the side effects to this drug was the ability of the consumer to have, how shall I say this, several flitchens a night, with or without butter. So with the combined ability to tranquilize, auralize and flitchenize, the families knew they were on to something. Now recently Pfizer, aren't they a Swiss company and makers of Viagra, was rumoured to be working with several psyciatrists in Europe for a drug to allow persons with personality disorders to hear things more clearly and ultimately help with treatment. I wonder if Detlof was one of those shrinks? I believe that both families are a little miffed at Pfizer and want their "cut" of the action and certainly don't want the others hand out.
Detlof may know something about the drug and all the players are trying to shut him up.
