Tell them you want to get Road House. And be serious about it. Game face.

I'm sorry you are so far away, relatively, because my technical curiosity is such that it's bugging me no end as to what is at fault in this seeming weird incompatibility of the EP800 and your Denon.

Alan, let's get this straight. You're the one that's "so far away" (up there North of the Arctic Circle). Micah's just around the corner in Indiana.

Coincidentally, I watched Road House in my hotel over the weekend. It wasn't as fun as the first time I watched it years ago but for simple entertainment purposes, it still does the job. Although now that my eye for fighting techniques is a bit more critical, I have to say Patrick's kicks were pretty sad looking. He perhaps needed a bit more time with his production trainer.

In your hotel room, eh? You sure that wasn't Road Ho's?

My expenses were being paid by the United Way of Canada - Centraide Canada so I had to behave myself.

Actually, any incidentals would have been out of my own pocket but I honestly can't see me paying for either of those movies. LOL

Well, if YOU'RE the one having to pay, then I guess at least 'Road House' will bring you an hour and a half of mild entertainment while 'Road Ho's' will only garner 10 - 15 minutes of INTENSE entertainment before you suddenly loose interest! ;\)

Hi St.Pat,

Yeah, I was on the one-at-a-time cheap plan as well but recently upgraded to the two-at-a-time so I could quickly order in a copy of Iron Man (cave-exit scene) to take with me to Axiom to perform the Micah test (full volume on the EP800). The movie was OK and there's certainly lots of low-frequency stuff for testing.

Now the DVDs of "Lost" are building up and I'm falling behind--slogging my way through Season 3, Disc 4.--so I may downgrade again to the one disc per week thing.

Alan

Ajax,

Ha, ha! Although when I wrote that, I was back on the East Coast in my New York apartment. Actually, Axiom may be closer to Indiana in air miles than New York.

Of course, "far away" is all relative. It's funny here in Manhattan, which most New Yorkers think is the center of the world. Some of my neighbors give me this weird look when I tell them I've been up to Northern Ontario to Axiom, as if I'd travelled to the Yukon or Nunavit. They think leaving the isle of Manhattan to journey to Brooklyn (over the the Brooklyn bridge or by subway under the East River) is a long trip!

Regards,
Alan

I admit, when flipping channels, I CAN'T turn "Road House" off. There is just something about it.


Yeah, those hairy chests and roundhouse kicks really turn me on...
