His other mistake was going to McDonalds. If he had gone to Chick-Fil-A, he would have blended in as part of the decor. At McD's he likely might have ended up as a quarter pounder had he not been apprehended .

Re: LTE 2.0
You need to have conversations with the Rev Lawgrad, who haunts the local Goodwill and other thrift stores every week looking for old speakers, amps, pre-amps, etc. Yesterday he had an amp blew and I thought he hadcaptmojo wrote:I occasionally pick up cut flowers at Sam's club.

I'm building an inventory of vintage stereo equipment,in hopes that one day that I'll be able to open my own shop and sell a few of them. It's interesting to hear of torturing the neighbors. I have categorized the receivers and amplifiers that I have collected into 5 groups...
1) Piece o'shit
2) Okay
3) Rock the House
4) Wake the Neighbors
5) Call the Cops
Always trying to fix what isn't broken, electronics manufacters created 'Surround Sound', so as to have a 'New and Improved' product to offer. Really? Was good old 2-channel stereo ever not good enough? God gave me two ears, not 7.1.
Then, to improve profit margins, they moved building operations off to China, Malaysia, Indonisia, etc. The stuff I've been picking up was built here, or Japan, or Europe. They will most likely still be working 100 years after I'm dead. The new stuff is lucky to survive a week after the warranty expires.
Lately, I've been terrorizing the neighborhood with these... Maybe one day, I'll open up an old style juke joint instead.

If you mean Pino, I didn't until our trip to Key West when we saw his prints in lots of galleries during our trip. He kicked the bucket in 2010, but I like his paintings. http://www.pino-artist.com/bjornolf wrote:Hey, CB&B, do you know who Pinot is? (in the art world, of course)
