I can remember learning all the words to that song before I even knew what some of them were or why it was funny!

Good One Coming On.


Two six packs of Shiner, 99 cent butane lighter, Luck Strikes and a fifth of Patron.


Well, I couldn't find any Shiner, and I don't smoke Lucky Strikes so this was the best I could do for a photo opportunity.

That's one of an exception few that I would ever do. And I'd have to have a hell of a lot of alcohol to get to that point!

I've recently upped my audiophile listening game. Got for my bday a headphone amp that i can hook directly to my laptop, bypassing the crappy sound card in it, and the amp does pure digital to analog converting in its DAC. Its also a solid state and tube hybrid so you get the qualities of both, including that rich full warm sound only tubes can produce. Coupled with my Sennheiser HD580 headphones, its a truly great experience. Sound quality is so amazing, the detail, I mean you can literally pick out the pick hitting strings, voice in the background in live recordings, it blows me away.

I am in the process of reconverting a lot of music i have from high quality MP3 to a loss less format, uses more disk space, but worth it for albums i really truly enjoy.

I've had these headphones for years now and have always enjoyed the sound quality, but i really was ready to move forward as the last year or so, musics been much more of a mainstay for my sanity, especially at work.

That is pretty awesome!! I didn't know they made something like that? I listen to my headphones almost every single night. How does it work? Is it simply a plug and play device?

yes, it installs a driver and you need to tweak windows to use it as the default audio device for playback. It really makes a difference, but you need good headphones to take advantage.
