How's that mancave coming? If it ain't you'd better get started!

my crappy strategy would be to tell her she can buy something if you buy a box ,that could backfire though mind you i'm no doctor phil .

You're damn right it'll backfire! I tried it! Then she went on eBay and some cheesy sites like s2g and Boomboxery and found out what some of these were seliing for. So what happens? Like in any marriage what SHE gets must be more valuable than what YOU got based on what was paid.

So when/if you get that big gold Conion...start planning for that vacation to the Atlantis resorts...

Hmmm. Before you get carried away too fast, just remember, that.........


There once was an obsessed dude named johnny.
Who collected big boomboxes many.
The wife who once was friendly, blew up in a tizzy, upon the big discovery of boomboxes many.
So Johnny no choice, once was but NoMo a member of boomboxery.

Your a tech whiz but your poetry is lame Norm.

Let me help...


There once was a man with a honey...
Who appeared to have disposable money!
And this mans name was John,
Who truly loved boomboxes, no con.
So away with the money, it's spent!
Boxes taking up space for no rent!
But emotions can cut like a knife.
Oops! The honey with the blade is the wife!
She demanded the boxes be banned.
John said "I don't give a damn!"
In the house he said, "I am the Man!"
"For my boomers I must take a stand!"
"And many I have are the ace!"
"And in my house they'll have space!"
But the wife she had a trump card,
That'd make John look like a retard.
She knew that since God gave us Eve,
Women really had the ace up their sleeve.
She told John "You'd better use that For Sale Section",
"Or you can plan on no more erections!"
"And then you must quit that Boomboxery place."
"Bad habits there must be the case!"
So John left being quite the gent.
His emotions split totally spent.
For the marriage, ok that's allright.
For regardless of what the truth is,
And even protests by us kids,
Conions won't keep you warm at night.

Good grief. What did I just do......... I think I just unleashed a monster.

 

[blu_fuz]

Yep, the 727 does have a line in. Everything works on it but the right meter doesn't swing .


I like the idea of telling her that I am just holding these for skippy , haha


Part of our home rennovation is a 700 sq foot master bedroom suite that I am now calling the "boom boom room" because I plan on putting my boxes up there.


I like seeing the collection grow and how different each bombox is, very exciting.


One problem of collecting is that boomboxes look bigger in pictures and I have been dissapointed at some of the sizes of these. Part of the learning curve I guess, so I will deal with it.

"One problem of collecting is that boomboxes look bigger in pictures and I have been dissapointed at some of the sizes of these. "

One idea: The distance between the cassette reels is always constant, so measure the size between the centers of the cassette reels as a unit of '1'. Then find out many units long the box is in the picture. Finally, just convert the units to inches or preferably metric, by measuring the centers from a box you have at home.

And no, I'm not writing any poetry about that technique.

'Just Say No' isnt just about drugs. It also applies to poetry.

good one oldskool --
you musta been excited when you discovered what rhymes with
sales section

You've apparently missed some of the good ol' days with members such as Joe Cool and others along with myself had entire threads devoted to boombox poetry.

Ira and Don can really fill you in on that one.

...good one oldskool --you musta been excited when you discovered what rhymes with sales section...

Somewhat...I know we still miss having Johnny around. Sort of a humorous tribute I guess...
