I’ve decided to rename and reclassify all of my music. So now we all can now look forward to my new playlists. For example, I’ve decided to rename the song “Message In A Bottle” by The Police as, “Dude, Where’s My Popcorn?!” and I have reclassified it as a Porn Groove.

One of these days, I’m going to legally rename myself as Duke Nukem. Either that, or 3D Realms will finally release Duke Nukem Forever. Whichever comes first. For those of you who’ve been in on this, Duke Nukem Forever has been a game in the making for ten years.

Squeeezie! SQUEEEZIE!!

the board of really irresponsible people

Now, I may be turning into Captain Obvious to the people who are well aware of the abilities of 1970’s Receivers.

I have a 1978 Kenwood Receiver, which – normally – only has ports for two speakers: left and right. When I received this fine Receiver, I first got only two three-way speakers (from Fisher.) But, thanks to my knowledge of the earlier Receivers, I know have a six-speaker system, and I can, should I so want, expand it to a full eight-speaker job.

Here’s how:

A few Receivers, and an even smaller quantity of stereo systems made today have wire-contact speaker connectors. Most Receivers, and most stereo systems have a more conventional, and definitely easier to connect, RCA plug system. The downside to an RCA plug system – despite the easy-to-connect prospects, is that an RCA plug equals ONE plugin, and one plugin only, unless you’re super smart with the RCA cables, and I’ll describe that later.

With a wire-connect system, you can – conceivably – add in as many speakers as you can cram onto the metal plate. Because my Receiver has an “A&B” switch, which enables the use of both Left and Right speakers for Plates A and B, that means that I have the ability – at the least – to connect eight speakers to my Receiver.

Right now, I have six. One pair was the original pair of Fisher floor speakers that came with the Receiver. Then, I went to Goodwill, and checked out their store. They had a pair of Pioneer floor speakers just about the same size as my original Fishers. And then, I had the fortune of walking into Freegeek’s brick and mortar store at the right time. (Sorry for those of you who don’t live in the Northwest.)

There were a pair of Fisher floor speakers there with 15” subwoofer discs. Needless to say, on a one-by-one basis, these new speakers dwarf the older ones by quite a bit. And they are the third pair of speakers in on my “two-speakers-maximum” Receiver. Also, needless to say, the bass alone is enough to disintegrate an apartment complex.

What one needs to do in a situation like mine, is hear Loreena McKennitt’s “The Mummer’s Dance – Single Version” with these speakers. It is truly the “poor-man’s-surround-system.” The whole thing cost me $90. It pays to know your local thrift stores.

I’m also fairly certain people are going to ask about the meaning of the title of this blog. There is no meaning. As of yet. Some my find out later. But most may never know.

what about the floating pig out there?

I am currently having a great bottle of imported Belgian blonde ale. It’s name is “Angelique,” and it has something in the neighborhood of 7% alcohol. But it really doesn’t mean a thing if it isn’t enjoyed in the Seven Is Darker method.

It must be poured into a sippy cup and enjoyed with a straw.

I don’t know if any of you have a store with an imported ale section. But there’s a fine selection of Belgian ales from Cuvee called: “Angelique,” “Diablique,” “Mystique,” and “Euphorique.”

I’m more of a Porter person, but these ales are so well made, that I can at least express my appreciation for their finely tuned brewing recipe.

Oh, and I also got myself one of those glowing mousepads with LEDs and a hard-plastic “optical-mouse” specific surface. When you have enough Belgian ales, the bubbles in the plastic coating seem to move all by themselves.

Hopefully this will be another piece in the process for attracting volumes of wine, women, song and piles of cash.

I have determined the new word that best describes the experiences and events that constitute my existence. I am SEXCELLENT.

And to all the fantastic events in my life, do I bequeath the title of SEXCELLENT. Of course, I suppose that includes all those who read my blog, and have come to know the term SEXCELLENT from its first inception.

Yes, by your association with me, you are SEXCELLENT. But then again, as the term SEXCELLENT is the word that best describes the experiences and events in my life, I suppose that term also somehow applies to everything I’ve ever thrown in the microwave as an act of aggression, art, or food preparation. I knew that the microwave would come back to haunt me.

I am everyone at everytime. And I am jumping out of your windows. Does that not amaze you?!

I’ve also brought you more of the old, old blogs that I’ve created in the name of all MADNESS.

Strange Uses For Old Copper Wire

Empty generality for the state of the world. Reference to Faustus and the Energizer Bunny (R). Hyperbole. Adjective, verb, incorrectly placed noun. Defamatory remark towards the GOP, unleash the sink cleaner.

Eeeesh!

Have any of you tried those Smirnoff Twisted drinks?!

They're like candy. I like the "watermelon" one the most. It tastes like that one watermelon perfume they sell at Victoria's Secret. You know, the one that I've been banned from drinking.

What?

You don't know that story?

"Washington Square: Portland. A man only known as Seven Is Darker, walked straight into the Washington Square shopping mall and proceeded to drink seven bottles of Victoria's Secret perfume until he proclaimed himself blind. A panic was stirred as Seven Is Darker ran out of the store and into the mall where....."

Clearly, I have only one alternative. I have to now invent new words for the English language to best describe the experience and events that comprise my existence. I’ll have to come up with a new word in my next blog. Because otherwise, you wouldn’t have much of a reason to keep reading my almost-fascinating material.
