So it would make sense that, since there's only so much that can be said about headphones and avatars, we'd end up just chilling for most of the time.

Now don't you regret not going to the Detroit meet?  Of course, you could always plan a trip out the 2013 L.A. Meet next summer.  It's gonna be two days long (the whole weekend).  I imagine the Saturday night in between the two days will be quite fun in a very off-the-record kind of way.

BTW, there is a certain amount of listening that goes on at the meets.  It is - bar none - the single best way to audition gear - as well as get the honest opinions of those who own said gear.

No, more like just posting ideas in one place so that at least people can choose if they so desire, or out of inspiration. Of course, I'll post anything out of Shower Epiphany (C) too.

Oh right, okay sure!  LOL @ Shower Epiphany^©...

Okay... plus as long as Doc and I are on duty, there should be plenty to go around.  Which reminds me...

Argyris, it looks like everyone is going to have customs this time around.  So I'm converting your Jude January token into a "________ February" token instead.  No sense wasting it on next month.

No worries.  Even established TMAC members forget to perform sig maintenance.  For example, Bowei still thinks it November.  I've been waiting for him to clue into it, but no dice so far.

Haha, but back then, who would have thought we'd need it.  It was just a little experiment back then.  Hmm, I guess lots of spoiler boxes might help?

Wow,lately i have been very busy all around my weeks,and unfortunately i could not contribute around Head-Fi (Well ,maybe is good,as i keep myself away from Head-Fi syndrome and his wallet emptiness pathology related :-) ),but i keep seeing that the thread keeps his numerous posts updated everyday,been missing few days and it already have almost 200 posts!!!

Keep the nice and fun readings you bloody crows!

And...

@warren totally gonna pwn you for longest quote - Ok I totally have no idea how you can do it, its just too much -  I give up.

Hopefully I'm not as hopeless at learning a programming language when I've actually got instruction as I have been the several times I've (admittedly half-heartedly) tried learning on my own. I'll probably find out next semester whether or not I'll be able to hack it.

Pretty much exactly the same as me, except my High school level art is better then most Varsity graduates. I prefer programming, my mathematical side coming out. Programming is just creative problem solving with rules.

I got the immune system of a tank, I can eat meat thats started to go green, reheat chicken, drink milk thats half way sour (aslong as its not chunky) without being phased, but I have horrible hayfever and when I do get sick (once every 2 years) I bounce off the walls. Oh and I have a weakness for some woman.

Playing with fire.

 

Funny, I seem to remember saying something about leaving egos at the door...    

You do know who I am right?

 

And you as well, a fellow TMACian. 

Sounds like star wars.

 

I really don't like the way they like hurt and stuff.  It's like jacking into the Matrix, except no kung fu.

last year during the last 2 months of my year project - 20+ cups a day, became majorly caffeine sensitive, better now, but still not great.

 

Were I not sick, I'd photoshop that for comedic effect...

pansy

 

+1  Also, getting better with the shorter posts. 

La la la la la

I've heard of various member lounge threads being described as cafes, bars, etc.  I think if I had to describe this thread, it'd be a cross between a treehouse and a bedsheet/blanket fort/castle.  It's like a neverending sleepover. 

With waffles

Sounds sooooo awesum.

Just woke up, LOL, so I'll respond to the other good stuff later.  But as to this:

Safe to say, you're w-i-d-e awake! 

My, how time flies. I'm currently posting from the Chinese restaurant just off campus, and I remember being in here over two months ago, and I was posting in this thread even back then. It feels like that was just yesterday.

The food trucks seem to have given up on Wayne for the term, the La Pita closed 20 minutes before I got to it, and I'm sick of Jimmy John's, so I figured I'd make the journey here. The pedestrian traffic lights don't work for half the stretch (perpetually stuck at "Don't Walk") and haven't for over three years, so there's always some danger involved in getting here.

Worth it, though. I just wish I had one of my headphones with me so I could watch some YouTube or something.

And now I'm back in the student center again. I was in this exact same spot about an hour and a half ago and ran into one of my professors and his colleague. I was supposed to go to his final class today but I hadn't planned on spending the entire three hours taking the bloody math final (the math class is normally 4:30-5:25 PM, with the other class starting at six). At least I got to tell him where I was.

Now something weird just happened about five minutes ago. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a pair of people whom I thought were my professor and his colleague again, but upon closer inspection it turns out that these people are like their Bizarro World counterparts: fatter, older versions that have that uncanny valley thing going on. Even the guy's hat is the same.

*cue Twilight Zone music*

Not sure how I should respond to you but do you think your college is worth it?
