Steve knows how much I love his cables already. Unfortunate I just sold the only one I owned along with my LCD 2s. I should really get some interconnects for you, Steve...
Oh, and that new silk cable is ridiculously sexy.

I'm told the silk in question is sourced from a nest of radioactive giant spiders (rumored to be from Fukushima Daiichi) currently residing in his basement. He feeds the spiders the children he abducts after he's done with them for himself, probably in order to get rid of the evidence, and in return they give him silk. Also, If you get your cable on special order, Steve will rub the silk all over his naked sweaty body before putting it over the cable. Pictures can be e-mailed upon request.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Oh, no way, it's a great thing! My silk cable glows in the dark at night and smells like the lavender oil fragrance you apply to your skin in generous amounts daily. The pictures I mentioned were taken with a high-quality Nikon DSLR, with excellent lighting and a top-notch lens. The whole package is quite nice, actually.
And, as for the children, well... If it were me, I'd eat them myself, instead of feeding them to spiders.

All this really only adds to the appeal and exclusivity of the cable. I'd buy one. Heck, give me 3.

There's a place at 462 First Ave in NYC where they would gladly listen to your stories.

Wasn't this thread supposed to be about his cables?

It's more about ribbing Steve I think. We know how he feels about cable appreciation threads (see: The now locked Toxic review thread). :D
Also...Do you really want to live it down? I mean...It is your avatar after all.
