Eh?
A joke, not avery funny one I'm afraid.

Well no, there's probably a chuckle in there somewhere. :-)

Poor Mickey. I'm feeling a little regret over the way I keep kicking you.

That's OK, though, because high end merchandise is not aimed at the
likes
of Arnii Krooger.

Smart people?

I don't know what you're grunting and straining to get out, Mickey, but I
do feel compassion for your pain.

It's marketed to Normals of sufficiently high station in life who are
able
to appreciate it.

Stupid people with money?



I think all the Normals should take a breath here and reflect on whether
we've been overly mean to poor Mikey. As Morein has noted, poor Mikey is a
Special Person. Perhaps, instead of continually mocking and spanking him,
we should coddle him a little more. After all, he's obviously oblivious to
how Normals perceive him.

Like that keeps me up nights.


He doesn't realize we're expending effort to
humor him; he believes we feel challenged by his inchoate mutterings.

Sometimes. Mostly I just figure you ignore anything that makes sense.

Mickey, I am a little sorry for some of the meaner things I've said about
you. On some occasions, I went further than your nastiness warranted.

You do that to anybody you disagree with.

I
realize you can't help being a basket case, and I should make a greater
effort to indulge you when you throw your tantrums and foam at the mouth.

Never happens.

Perhaps in the future, I'll be able to maintain a higher standard of
tolerance when you turn into Mr. Mikey-Hyde.

I wonder what it is you think you know, because it's almost a certainty that
you have it wrong.

As a compassionate conservative, I will join in. As long as I don't
have to hear form Mikey about how road systems can be developed without
the underlying threat of eminent domain.
Ooooh look another mistake.

Mikey, when you eat a cricket, do you pull the legs off first?

Thanks for posting the above, although I disagree with the above. A
sample from the above:

"the vinyl LP disc possesses a powerful and effortlessly musical
content, with an easy, fundamental rhythmic stability and solidity.
Interestingly, this innate character"

So apparently just being a vinyl LP gives the recording all these
wonderful qualities.

"With analog, one can listen through the blemishes and be aware of a
strong musical message, one in which the music's flow, pace, and tempo"

That's assuming the turntable's motor is turning the LP at the correct
speed all the time.
