You know you're an audiophile if--


You just got a pair of speakers you can barely move yourself (inverse proportionality with age probably too)

The first house you bought cost less than your current stereo investment (ditto)

You have boxes of cables with which you don't know what to do

Hotmailjbc-This Post isn't a cry for help. It is supposed
to be a humorous view of self reflection of the Audiophile
Hobby. These Statements are supposed to be over the top as
excessive exaggerations, no relation to reality-pathetic
or not! My Reference to Audiophilia as an obsession, like
smoking or alchoholism, is an exaggeration. Point wasn't
to insult those with serious smoking/alcohol problems, but to exaggerate the obsessiveness of Audiophilia by comparison. Pathetic is ruining a simple Joke, by having to explain it. There is nothing else pathetic here, because
none of it is real. It is all an exaggeration. You are
aware that this is simply an exercise-Right? Say, "Now
you do"!
dear peety officer... here we go again,,,,,,you think your exaggeration is ok but mine is not? don,t even start with me.
Hotmailjbc-and where is the punchline in "Pathetic"? You
get alot of laughs calling the Audience "Pathetic" in
stand up comedy? It is not an exaggeration, it is a reversal, and it is pathetic. Pathetic is a snide remark,
see how I used it? Nothing humorous about it. These entries are self inspection, or self deppreciation. Your
comment applies to everyone else, but you. I am not offended, I don't really even care! It is just the anti-thesis of humor-it just isn't funny. Sorry if you take that
personnal, wasn't meant to be. My use of Pathetic, at the
beginning of this Entry, is just to show the lack of humor.
Again, nothing personnal. Exaggeration won't change that.
Doesn't matter whose exaggeration it is, it is how it is used.
