dumbest boombox quotes.

[ViennaSound]

with eldo!
Most people are smiling and happy to see a classic boombox in the wild.
Those few idiots who made silly comments, i leave without words... :sin:

My favorite one so far has been, "What's a boombox?"

Another one is, "Hey, I have a boombox. Do you want it?" And then they bring out a small, curling stone egg.

My answer: "Sorry, i don´t play football...."

"Radio Raheem!", from some dumb-ass chick on the bus a year or so ago... :annoyed: Man, I was carrying boxes (since '84/'85) waaaaaay before that movie was even thought about. Besides, I was carrying a much smaller (silver) Lasonic TRC-920, not a huge (black) Promax J-1 Super Jumbo... The b!tch needs to go back and watch that movie again so she can get her boxes straight!

...LOL...some youngster called me the same thing when I brought my M71 out to the hoop court...then he called me old man...after I dropped 4 straight 3 pointers, he respected my game and my box...

I always get about my 880

" you bought that new and still have it"

I had my own quote the other day telling my step daughter that my boombox is older than you are

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

"Oh, grandpa had one of those! I remember it had a vertical record player, crazy! But we just threw it out when he passed"

Man, that hurts!

I always get..."Do you carry it that your shoulder!"

Hell no, I'm 42 with a bad back, but thanks for asking! LOL

Best would be a shirt:
"I´m over 40, please help me carry my boombox!"

I was carrying yesterday and someone said "where's the Lino,man?" He wasn't being horrible or sarcastic but it was a bit of a naff remark.

BTW. What's that idea with carrying boomboxes on your shoulder. Maybe the smaller ones, yes, butin allmy years I've never seen anyone carry a big gun on their shoulder.. or have Inow lived?

Back in the day, it was common to see people carry their boxes on their shoulder. I think it was to ease the strain of a boombox pulling down on an arm or to hear the box better. Looking back on it now, the whole "carrying it on your shoulder" thing is really more of a bad cliche' than it was really purposeful. I always thought that was senseless and defeated the purpose of having a "stereo" boombox to only pipe the sound to one ear. I would alternate from carrying mine by the strap facing outward, to curling it up in my arm with the speakers pointed straight toward me so I could benefit from the better sound stage. Admittedly, that would get old real fast, too... I'd say about 80% of the time it was dangling by the handle in one arm or another. 15% tucked up on my forearm facing me, and maybe 5% on my shoulder when my arms were simply too tired!

I wish I would have worn a pedometer back in the day, just to clock how many miles I walked with that thing!

As for dumb quotes I heard, these are from my friends... when I took one of my boomers to a DJ Gig to use as a prop:

"HEY TURBO, BUST OUT THE CARDBOARD!!!!"

"WHERE'S YOUR MEMBER'S ONLY JACKET?"

Both quotes made me bust out laughing... But, when I patched in an RCA cable and they heard it, they were diggin' it....

Growing up in Philly, I never saw anybody who carried a box carry it on their shoulder - no matter the size.
I always thought that was some Hollywood sh!t. It looks good in poses, but walking down the street...

I think some of the negativity people throw might actually be jealousy...

It's not a secret anymore, quite a few people know what they are worth. And how can a person diss a M70-71, M90, Rising 20/20, or GF777 (not a complete list) when the volume goes up?!? If the internals are still OK, they sound fantastic!

The one I get most often is:

"How many batteries does it take?"



"What kind of batteries does it take?"

Some younger kids don't know what a D-cell is!

 

[Retro Addict]

A stupid one I've been asked on numerous occasions is... "Do you ever play them all at once?"

...just how many plugs or batteries do they think I have?!

Duurrrr...
