It was about five seconds of action involving the monkey, but DFA will stop there so it's not spoiled for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Breyer's chocolate ice cream and an Orchard Street Brewery "London Style" Porter. Ice cream not bad, beer not so good -- way, way, WAY too roasty. And you?

Y'know what's bullshit? Labeling this "terrorism". These people aren't killing anyone, for God's sake. Call it grand fucking arson or whatever, which it obviously already is, and which already probably carries a plenty stiff sentence. Shit; the goons at Enron who pillaged thousands of people's retirement funds and ruined as many lives are going to get off a lot easier than the people who are responsible for burning down a subdivision, which maybe cost a few developers a drop in their financial bucket. Ludicrously disproportionate punishments. When are we gonna start hearing about corporate terrorism, e.g. PGE, Enron, Global Crossing, etc?

Trask, it's human nature for people to think that the wonderfulness of their cause justifies anything that they do in the furtherance of it. Examples abound; just open a newspaper.

Bitchin'. Is it any good?

"The Mullah-Fucker Effect"? Something about Middle Eastern rulers and their harems or what?

Saw 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' on Sunday. It was a kick in the pirate pants for sure. Johnny Depp stole the show as the Rob Zombie-meets-David Lee Roth-style Captain Jack Sparrow, and the swashbuckling action and CGI living dead skeleton pirates were first-rate. Pretty decent plot twists, too. A little corny, but all in all a great summer flick. Don't forget to sit through the incredibly long credits for the bonus at the very very end, too.

This thread blows bento chunks like Trask in Japan on a sake binge. Talk about something fun or funny or perhaps remotely interesting. Like how Howard Dean's gonna kick George Bush Jr's lying, scheming, thieving ass right out of the White house, from where he will then proceed to fix the economy, stop blowing shit up, and stop pretending that the only people that matter in this country are the ones who own huge corporations. Howie fer Amer'ca!

That was more or less the implication. Figure that three bolts in a 100' pitch aren't doing you a whole lot of good, and still constitute a bold lead. Bugger the RP placements and it's a long ride to the last bolt, wherever you are on the thing.

DFA, you're usually pretty witty, but this time you are just dumb. Playing dumb doesn't become you. Oh, come on, cut the Doctor some slack. Your Lexus will eventually break down, Donald Trump will lose all his money to some hussy, the stock market crashes, and DFA bombs the occasional half-assed stab at humor. Sheesh!

Ya need a slut, not a ho, plain and simple.

If ya got it, flog it. Words to live by, hmm?

That last picture's capital-G gorgeous! Nice phot', mister!

Son of a crap, man; you can't expect Dr. Flash Amazing to pay attention to every little detail. Sheesh! Anyhow, one of DFA's compatriots has the edition in questoin, but thanks for the offer. Should the Doctor ever need to borrow yours, he'd be more than happy to autograph it and maybe include a short motivational phrase to increase the tome's potential E-Bay resale value.

It's got that WOO-WOOOT! Bubb Rubb and Li'l Sis' have got this shit on lock. Truly trustworthy arbiters of audible automotive fashion.

That'd be 70Hz, not kHz. Anyway, any of the speakers DFA listed are going to give you solid performance down to around 40Hz, and unless you're listening to a lot of techno or shit like that, you don't really need a sub. If you do get a sub, make sure it integrates well with your speakers, or your system will sound like -- you guessed it -- shit.

Oh, yes, but you clowns driving your Hummers and Excursions aren't compensating for anything, now are you? Siphon the gasoline out of a Hummer and burn it to the ground today!

Turn up the hi-fi 'Gainesville Rock City' The neighbors can hear it too

You just ate your first eggplant? Wow, congratulations, that's amazing. And you're how old?

Howard Zinn's 'A People's History of the United States'. Picking it up again after losing steam/interest about a third of the way through the first time. Interesting thoughts on the evolution of what is now the two-party system, and interesting to see how politicians back in the 1800s were using red herrings and false choices even then to keep the public content and feeling like they had some power. Learning is fun; burn down the government!

Athena Technologies loudspeakers review.

Oops, it's the Polk Lsi7, and it appears to be 800 bucks, not ca. $300. Sorry. For some more in-depth info, try this or this, and for other shopping possibilities, go here.

Mr. Necronomisatanrockerconvict: Dr. Flash Amazing recommends that you seek out your local Hi-Fi store (NOT your local big-box electronics retailer, mind you), and look for speakers from JM Lab, specifically the JM Lab Chorus 705. It should be around 300 bucks (possibly a little more), and will seriously outperform most anything else in that price range, and a lot of stuff above that price range. These little beauties have been consistent faves among hi-fi snobs who spend more on their stereos than on their cars. DFA has the floor-standing version (the Chorus 710), and he loves them (currently rocking the Less Than Jake at head-knocking volumes). If you ain't got a fancy boutique hi-fi store in your local slum, seek out Good Guys! (it might be Best Buy, but pretty sure it's GG!), who now carries Athena loudspeakers. These babies, which come from Canadia, are rumored to rock your socks way harder than anything at their price point has any right to, and you can probably get into a decent floor-standing speaker for around 300, or a bit less for a bookshelf. Barring either of the above, Polk has a fairly well-regarded little bookshelf (625i or something like that) that should be cheap and reliably rocking. Also, the reason you may have blown your cones in the first place is not enough power. Make sure you're not driving your amp harder than it can handle, which is a surefire way to fucking trash your speak's. Good luck, ese.
