7th grade, my first Jr. High sock-hop dance this was the first song played. Loud. Awesome. I still love this single version.

I was there first in '64, and yeah, E tickets were crown jewels for the park visitor. "But Daaaaad, can't you buy some more?"

And if the harvest was weak, that meant not enough children were sacrificed last year.

That was one of the greatest conservative self-owns ever. Classic.

Another procto-job. Tsk. Ya' hate to see that.

Were you clocking in to work as a gandy dancer on the trans continental railway?

Poor brother didn't get to guess any R&B at all.

Cool. I'm old enough to start trying that. Perhaps from time to time as needed.

Has he ever said, "I'm coming to see you Elizabeth!"

Replacing the surrounds as Comptechie76 said would be the best option. It's a doable thing if you're a bit handy. Those systems use a passive radiator so the woofs probably are matched pretty closely to the radiators.

I have replaced woofers on mid-fi Japanese systems with some success using both Dayton and Goldwood drivers. I use software to work out best options for a given enclosure. Match sensitivity best I can. But by the time you buy decent drivers, you're probably better off keeping an eye out on the used market for something a little nicer in better condition.

Resumeable downloads were nice in the latter days of BBSs. BBSs were the portals to FIDONET. Also, no need for adblockers!

That worked a bit when Molly Ivins called then Texas Republican governor, Rick Perry, "Governor Goodhair." Dan Savage popularly redefined the meaning of, "Santorum," baiting Pennsylvania religious homophobic Senator, Rick Santorum.

I only only thought of doing it a couple years ago. Should have started decades ago. And yeah, it works just fine. Now I need to put a clear bag over my turntable. Classy look and keep that dust cover clean!

Clear poly AV Receiver shipping bag in use here.

Bill was most polite by not interrupting her and calling bullshit on that. Even if not claiming it was a fake campaign parable, who gives a shit what a toddler says.

Absolutely horrible unsafe place for a child that age to ride. Not allowing kids learning to ride to do so there should be on the Parent License exam.

"This idiom’s origins are advertising. There are several early examples of its usage. In Will Jones’s column After Last Night, he wrote about several Madison Avenuisms in 1956, including where the rubber meets the road. Madison Avenue is the epicenter of advertising in the United States. In another column the same year, Erskine Johnson wrote a similar article in the Dixon Evening Telegraph, drawing attention to this idiom. In 1957, Gene Sherman, who wrote Cityside in the Los Angeles Times, and Al Osborne, who wrote Matter of Fact in the Binghamton Press, also listed this phrase as advertising slang. Later that year, Hal Boyle’s national column called this idiom “businessman’s bebop,” adding it “originated in the ivory tower world of advertising” and “has spread throughout the industry with the speed of chickenpox in a kindergarten.”

I use one of those to convert 20v to 12v from an old laptop PSU for use on a Turnigy battery charger. Works like a treat.

I've never snow skied, but if I ever did I'd do it like she does. All, Zoom Zoom real fast!

Usually, the smooth areas are where the tape was spooled during normal play/rec speed. Uneven areas (between the lines) during FF/RW high speed spooling.

I do wonder why MLM woman didn't want any info or try to set up a presentation with OP. Usually they're annoyingly tenacious about that.

When the ends of curb feelers contact the curb it makes a clear, resonating sound inside the car. Rolling up on curbs is not good for any tire, whitewall or not. Until the mid sixties, side view mirrors were optional on new cars in the US. Passenger side view mirrors were not required until the early seventies. It can be tricky parallel parking close to the curb (without rolling up and over it) when you can't see the curb. That would lead to moments like when Woody Allen said to Annie hall in the eponymous movie as he exits passenger side and looks down, "That good, we can walk to the curb from here."
