Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

I guess I'm an old-fart.  I drift in and out here.  Watched the change from CDs to iPods/computers as sources and the growth of IEMs.

Since I turn 61 [LXI] in a few days, I might just be an old fart - been around here a while too, but I don't visit like I used to.  These days, headphones rest on my head only a little more often than my fez, and I haven't had that on since the last meet I attended...
 
"A churro is the ideal snack food."  Or not.  Here in C-bad, there is a store which sells fresh churros among the other baked goodies.  Tried one.  Still no like.  Asiago cheese bagels forever!

speaking of pretzels and churros, anyone remember this thread? A classic.
 

 
 
Since I stopped reading this forum every day I've saved quite a bit of money. Still, nice to come back :) Though I'm not really one of the "old farts" I guess

for us newbies
 
EDIT: I just read through that whole thread, and I think I just wasted 10 minutes of my life that I'll never get back
 
On that note though, TEAM CHURROS!


No. Pretzels forever. They're so much more versatile.

I think I might have, stupidly, tried to revive the war last year.

And to avoid completely derailing this, what's happened to redshifter? He, kirosia, rednamalas (I know he left after getting his Quads), and that guy with the platypus foot avatar (gah I always forget who you are I'm sorry!) always made for a good laugh.

Churros are nothing but empty calories and I can't believe Mr. Green is now defending Hitler as a "great leader". He was a narcissistic, genocidal maniac and we'd all be better off with celery sticks with peanut butter on top. So there.

You mean Mjg? He moved on, and I believe he was technically the founder of Pretzel-ism. As for redshifter, he was here physically a few days ago, though his mind is long gone.

*Eagerly awaits Kirosia's response*

I haven't had a churro in many years, but a pretzel just a few weeks ago. I have learned the ways of harmony, and now know that both have a place in the hearts of Head-Fi. *Points to Jude's blog post with the Churro/Pretzel stands*

Oh, we have fun over there. Honestly one of the nicest blokes I've dealt with - sent me a rather nice Neutrik jack free of charge amongst other things.

 I believe he means Samgotit.
 
If we are presenting some of the fun from the past:

Wow, great thread. I've been lurking since '05, joined in '06. It was really interesting seeing head-fi become what it is today, who'd have thought a niche headphone hobby would get so popular? Haha.
