Best blog. Ever.

"The owner of the establishment eagerly invited The Audiophile inside while I stood in the entry and ran the calculations on whether three people could simultaneously fit inside the store without personal violation. Ultimately the visit only lasted a couple of minutes because the proprietor had, it seems, exaggerated the quality, condition, and sheer existence of his inventory."

I laughed my *** off on that one!

I love the tone of plodding resignation.

I enjoyed...

he dashed to the www and began to quiz me on which speakers I wanted. I responded that I wanted them in rosewood. He peppered me with many other irrelevant questions all to which I replied, "I want them in rosewood."

Reminded me of my teen-age years when my audiophile father was buying ME a boombox / small system for my birthday and he and my brother Gary spent HOURS in the audio store with the owner while I sat on a stool in the same audio store twiddling my thumbs and sighing... looking longingly at the really cute system I had picked out and the door.

Carol what does "cute" mean?

OMG... Gary just walked into my office and said "You wouldn't have been happy with the Akai. You wanted it because it was white."

Cute = white and shiny chrome accents at the time.

We all need a wife with that kind of quiet resignation and tolerance. I personally need a "Guitar Player's Wife" in the worst possible way. I do need a new amp, but the amp I need is called a Tremolux...
