Whoa, Dude, slow down!
Okay, for the record, since at least one dude did not get it: Much of what I wrote was in jest. There's no way I'd buy a crappy Yamaha. Anyone giving that advice...
No, just kidding. Sometimes tone is lost in e-exchanges. I have no idea if your lives are boring or not. In fact, I really don't care. It was late, I'd spent far too long reading thru the info and insanity contained in this thread, and I thought I'd add to the banter. My main point was this: I found the info regarding the original topic of the thread to be helpful, and I found the insanity at times, well, other than helpful. Whatever.
So, noisedude, relax. I hope I didn't make you kick your dog, or worse. No need to make threats of death. No offense intended with the "boring" line. Jeesh...
And by the way, fuck you too. I can make any kind of crass statement I want. Obviously, lack of crassness is not a prerequisite for contributing here. Obviously, as I stated pretty clearly here and in my first post (and in answer to your question, I've been here exactly as long as it took me to read thru this topic and to reply), I agree that "There's a damn good argument to be read in this thread," and it does appear that you "had a lot of fun writing it." So what I don't get is your angry statement, "So the bottom line is, I guess, "fuck you" if you don't want to be a part of it." Um, guess what? I'm in. I'm part of it. Deal.
I acknowledge that what I wrote about your "boring lives" sounded judgemental, was judgemental, even tho I was simply putting it out in jest.
Now this is also judgemental, and I own it as my judgement: noisedude, you seem awfully high-strung and reactive. Get a grip.
And chessrock, I dug the spoiled-milk chronicles. Masterful use of metaphor, I must say. (this is neither jestful nor ironic, tho I suppose it is my judgement.)
Anyway, Peace, All.
