It's a forum, quit being the damn comma grammar nazi chippa because no one caresI care, as I believe the butchering of our language is one of the biggest problems in the US that can be corrected with minimal effort.If a child purposefully stole $420 from his parents it is not ironic to buy marijuana with that money.In the spirit of the thread; awesome lightning storm off the coast of Lake Superior this evening.

starsfan71 9 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 I do get your point about butchering the English language, but I really don't see a complete necessity to grammar check every single post I make especially late at night before a pretty stressful day. I do agree with your philosophy but then chippa didn't have to be an Asshole about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too Old 1 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 Just received my two Carver Amps to redo my home theater system. :)Carver TFM - 35x, 250 watts per channel to my Polk Rti A9'sCarver AV - 634, 60 watts to each of the Polk Rti A3 surrounds, and 120 watts bridged to the Polk Csi A6Needless to say, powering all of this before with a theoretical 100 watts per channel out of an Onkyo Receiver wasn't doing these justice. At "only 60" watts (high current though) going to the surrounds they really woke up, and the Main Rti A9's hit harder than they ever did before.Might be posting later in "The Venting Spot" when I get the Police at my front door for disturbing the peace. ;)And now.....to watch a movie with loud and obnoxious explosions.Very nice. I've debated over getting tubes instead of my Denon AVR to power my Klipsch stuff. The problem is the good amps are expensive and the wife would shoot me. Interesting fact that we share some common interests; biking, A/V, and hockey. If you also shared one other passion you could have a MAK-90 ready for when the cops arrive, lol! :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The TFM was $320 on e bay. WOO HOO!!! Understandably Carver is out of business, but you loose a capacitor or a resistor due to the age of the equipment....10 minutes with a soldering iron and you are up and running again with a fantastic amplifier.

Leafsrule16 5 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) If a child purposefully stole $420 from his parents it is not ironic to buy marijuana with that money.How is it not ironic? 420 stands for the 20th of April, the unofficial day for marijuana. Not only that, but the amount of money he stole to buy pot, for you to not see the irony is almost as stupid as the kid himself.On a side note, my dads heart surgery came along great, pretty happy for him. Its his birthday today and I got my license. Looks like a good day so far. Edited August 25, 2009 by Leafsrule16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chippa13 1844 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 This will be my only post on what has apparently stirred up a hornets' nest of vitriol. I made a quick joke about someone who was looking on the plus side of a school situation (nothing wrong with that, it is good to see someone actually excited about learning) while omitting several commas from said post. Then, when the same person was all gung ho about his new AP English teacher, well, that just creates a humorous situation where hilarity and hijinks ensue.Apparently, my yen for finding the lighter side of things in this life offends the sensibilities of some around these parts. For that I do not apologize. I have joked about things and will continue to do so. Obviously, they can't all be gems but there is nothing mean spirited behind what I am typing. Please, don't take these things so personally, ladies and gentlemen, it will help us all get along that much better.Good day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that, but the amount of money he stole to buy pot, for you to not see the irony is almost as stupid as the kid himself....and the reason chippa asked for the definition of "irony" comes out fully. We'll use a simple one - incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs - after reading that please don't call me stupid. And yes, I'm fully aware of 420, 4:20, and April 20th and what it means to potheads.We'll give you a quick example of irony; The head of a major anti-drug campaign is arrested for possession. The person who is the last one expected to have and use drugs is implicated in doing exactly that, how ironic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
