The obvious response would be to say, "I almost did this for my last boyfriend, but instead of a threesome, it was going to be a rusty trombone. Too bad he fucked up by standing me up when I was going to tell him he would be getting the fantasy, so he never got it."

Now, if you would rather not reveal to us what it was you were planning, say so. Or don't bring the story up at all. As a board veteran, you know we always want details. And despite your "focus," you know everyone will ask for them.

As for the watch, who gives a fuck what everyone here thinks about the cost, style, brand or awesomeness? If you like the watch, buy it. But if you talk about the watch and go so far as to describe it, I don't understand why you wouldn't post a photo.

Either way, neither point is a big deal. I really just wanted to use a line from Trading Places in trying to get you to post more detail about your sex life.

For us, we took the digital out of the Airport Express and went to a high end dedicated D-A converter and then into the balanced analog input of the dorky high end amp. Seriously s ounds like butter! Even NCS immediately heard the vast improvement. The D-A converter that works great is shockingly good and only about $350. Compares favorably to the $4000 version I otherwise use with my professional setup.

By the way, the wireless Airport Express stream to the stereo with the iPhone/iPod Remote App is revolutionary in its coolness.

Coltrane, if that oven isn't in your wife's hands this next week, I think you'll be hearing about it on the board.

etiquette question: if given an offer of a rustry trombone, would it be rude to trade that in for a blumpkin? also, can a blumkin be pre-planned? It seems some element of spontaneity (excluding Atticusites of course) is built into it?

I laughed.

At your expense.

Sorry.

I am not proud of it, but under the circumstances, it was entirely justifiable conduct.
