Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT - A confession

Peter, the Pope told me(same conversation as the one about the copper which we discussed)that he's authorized one Our Father And Hail Mary per mortal sin and one-third of each per venial sin(subject to a required minimum of six sins).

In reply to:

(subject to a required minimum of six sins)

Wait - so the Pope WANTS us to sin?

Sweet.

Yes, Adam, otherwise there won't be enough Our Fathers and Hail Marys being said.

I can't believe all of you guys are falling for this "Empty Nest" / "Good Deal" thing! Nobody plays golf up there. It's too damn cold 9 months of the year.
He just realized he was hitting the wall on MX700 Sales here, and after a perusal of the Rocket Boards he smelled fresh blood and moved on!
Heh, heh, heh...

And, as to;
"I think the mortal sin here is that he sold the Axioms before the Rockets arrived so we're not going to get a real good A/B comparison review."
I agree, THAT was the big sin!

Don't you dare leave us Ray!
Congrats on the good deal...

PS: I've always wondered; What is the deductable on glass for one of those houses on a golf course?

Thank you for the kind words. I was hopeful I could keep playing in this sandbox without too much downside and you guys made me feel good about that.

Tom - the beauty of the positioning of the house is that I am at a right angle to the tee and hitting the ball at the house will be extremely dificult, unless it's done on purpose. If that is the case, I would be able to unleash my 20lb dog "Molly the Attacker" and she would lick the golfer into submission.

Haven't had a golf club in my hands for 30 years, but I'll bet I could hit it from a right angle!
But probably not from straight on...

>>Nobody plays golf up there. It's too damn cold 9 months of the year.

Why do you think they make flourescent orange golf balls ? They're easier to find in the snow. That's why the world standard for golf outfits is long pants, not shorts... in deference to our thriving Winter Golf leagues

ray- be sure and give us a detailed report on the rockets performance once you get it all set-up. when i was making my final decision on what speakers to get, the axioms and the rockets were the last 2. i obviously went with the axioms, but i reckon that the rockets are just as good, or better, depending on the room and the pair of ears.

bottomline comes down to you being happy with your purchase. so, if all is good in 'rayland', then who cares what we think..

Man, I thought this was all a dream. Somebody pinch me, I need to wake up, now. I don't know about the others Ray, but, this news was like a lightning strike. I always thought you would be the last person on this board who would sell your Axioms. Since the deed is done, please accept my hope that the Rockets are everything you expect them to be and more. If you tell us next that you sold your mx-700 and bought a Harmony I am going to jump off the Red River bridge, and trust me, the water isn't that deep.

LOL Bruce!! Actually, the new house is going to require a little recalibration of our HT equipment. Right now I have the HT in our family room and we have a 27" CRT in the den as an alternative.

The new place has a great room with built-ins on either side of a gas fireplace. Well, a 42" plasma is going there. The basement will be finished (Sep/Oct) into a modest den and home theater for the big TV and the sound system. I will likely need another MX-700 (or 850) for the great room!
