Speaking of Kenjit, why do people continue to respond to his post? I could see the first two or three, but at some point the pattern becomes apparent. He is not interested in anything approaching a conversation.
At some point after college there was this one young lady, she cooked the best meals and it made me want to learn to cook. This is kinda cliche but being a guy and all the first thing I decide to learn to cook is chili. Well its pathetic. Diced onion added to Dennison. Pathetic.
But I kept at it and in less than 5 years came up with my own from-scratch chili recipe. Shredded (not ground!) beef, fresh herbs and chili’s, it was to die for.
One year the office decides to have a chili cook-off. Right away I am trash-talking. Its not fair, amateur vs professional, like that, on and on. For weeks. Merciless cut-throat trash talk.
Finally, the big day. Of course my chili wins. Easily. Hands-down. Three different people came up to me and said basically, "I was determined not to vote for you. No matter what. But damn, that chili is good!"
If it helps, imagine me an 80 year old woman in a rocking chair rolling a joint and flipping you the finger. Might as well. Probably am.
Eric Squires because the majority of his posts are intentionally thought provoking in a positive manner. That and he's a strong advocate for class D ;-)
Actually, geoffkait is funny than I am....does so with fewer words...
...but he only knows a few, so...*shrug*....there's that....;)
Seriously though....I'm happy to 'be Here, now' as is said.
The Serious Discussions, balanced by the out 'n out cat fights...
Tech Topics balanced by the Off topic lunacy, the pause that refreshes....
Not to be Debbie Downer, but we all need a space to escape to from the daily disturbance of our days' news...somewhere to 'bench race' our happy hobby...
I promise y'all to keep that in mind...and leave well enough alone for those here....🙄....even kenjit....
And now ladies and gentlemen the moment you have all been waiting for..... Wait, what, huh? You mean this is NOT the Eurovision Song Contest? Well poop! Oh well on with the show regardless.
Top of the pile by a long shot. 1/ Almarg- for his technical knowledge, overall wisdom and managing to maintain a gentlemanly conduct even in the face of adversary/ outright stupidity. 2/ BDP24- For his almost encyclopediac and intimate knowledge of the music scene, and overall good guy! 3/ Slaw- The most dedicated and enthusiastic vinyl barista I have ever known, a pleasure Steve! 4/ Boxer12- most likely you never heard of him but he just plugs away in the music threads bringing to light some outstanding music and never has a bad word for anybody, one of the good guys! 5-10,000 - everybody else. 10,001- Millercarbon……..
