1) Didn't you all get the golfball joke? Do posts from here not reach america,
or is there just a l - o - n - g lag?

2) APFAQ: Why is it called the 'green golfball joke'? Well, obviously, calling
it the 'glass eye joke' would give the game away so green golfball was best
name. Would've thought red would've been more appropriate (blood) unless
gangreen had set in (not surprising really!). More likely explanation: the
woman had green eyes, but this was taken out in later version 'cos it gave away
the punchline too early. Not sure how makeshift the version I passed on was.
(was from about a year ago too!)

3) sorry if I put you off your dinner :-)

 btw, isn't it incredible how many ppl tried 2B clever by pretending 2B in on
the 'joke' (i.e. thinking the joke didn't exist, and 'joining in' teasing the
others), with the appropriate 'snowball' effect!  |-D

You know how this works.  <Bracketed comments are mine>



<Dear Forum:

I never thought the stories in alt.non.sequitur were true until last weekend
when> A strong hand raised me from the pavement; it was attached to a
beautiful blonde Amazon <with gigantic hooters> from the Amazon, six foot two
of hard muscle <topped by huge heaving passion pillows> sheathed in soft
woman-skin <hugging her delicious curves>.  Her wistful gray eyes
<telegraphed staccato clicks of desire> had the maternal tenderness of a good
steak, and I <knew that bosky frolic was about to commence> melted into a
blob of disgusting <KY> jelly, which she carefully wrapped <around my
ever-attentive nookie nozzle> in a used garbage-can and ocean liner and
sailed into the Atlantic <on a midnight cruise to my atoll of ecstacy>.

The spirit of carnauba wax filled her <brassiere> veins, and she precipitated
out of solution and <turned off the blacklight over my frazetta poster>
formed the scum of the earth in the secret places <the underside of her knee,
the tip of her tongue, the spot under my bed with all the dust bunnies> of the
stares of the incredulous crowd <at my growing love missile>.  Sigmoid Frund,
the great-uncle of <perineum exploration> modern cycle-analysis and S-shape,
brought his colonoscopy instruments and played a sonata on <our private
passion peninsula> them, enchanting her into <my groovy lair of love> the form
of a slug made of <the thick spreading> motor-oil meringue <of her stimulated
genitalia>.  With <the sensitivity of a weasel in heat> spoons chipped by
robotic beavers from human skulls, I attacked <her blood-engorged feminine
nether regions> and ate her.  I levitated above <my twin bed with its
"101 Dalmations" sheets> this sorry scene, taking notes for posterity and a
newspaper article I was writing <SchlongMaster Chronicle> about Grenoble,
wondering <what she had meant by "YOU'RE IN ME YOU'RE IN ME OH GOD YOU'RE A
CAVEMAN"> about Canberra and eels.

When the bustle had died down and <Mr.Happy was back in his closet> women no
longer <laughed at my tendency to wheeze chords when excited> enhanced their
backsides so arsiduously <oh, a play on words.  good one!>, I plummeted gently
to the <sheets of satisfaction> rubber paving-bricks of the circular square.

If you keep her from peeing, it's gotta get out somehow...

This is mostly due to power compression effects.  The speaker becomes extremely
nonlinear at a high power level and its internal impedance increases
considerably.  Incidentally, this causes horrible distortion on transient
passages, but it does make the things almost impossible to burn out.

The 901s have the cheapest drivers you have ever seen... I would estimate
the component cost for the units to be less than $50 total per speaker.

I would go on at length about this subject (among other things about how
the speakers are specifically designed to eliminate proper stereo imaging)
but it would just make me mad, and you can read the stuff in the 
info-high-audio archives anyway.
