Oh no. Now that I've seen that, I have to pluck my eyeball out,.

Maybe pluck both out if you used two eyeballs to view my post of interesting taste.

Mojo, practically is not everything. There's alway a pride of ownership going on.

I paid $2000 for my navigation system in my Prius which at the time thought was outrageous ...
I could of bought a standalone unit for a tenth of that price ...

In the end, it was $2000 well spent. The dual map made the car feel like a cockpit. People noticed it. It made me feel good every time I drove it.

Feeling good about and being proud of your gear is part of the reason we enjoy this hobby so much.

I remember when I was growing up, all the wives in the 'hood had lovely little figurines, and vases, and trinkets of all kinds. No one was allowed to touch them. They weren't used for anything. Those girls sure were proud of them. Showing them off to all the other girls in the 'hood. The husbands always talked about, as they gesticulated wildly, how their dumb-ass wives were driving them effin' nuts with all these stupid trinkets. They used very colorful language from the old country.

That was at 8 years old, and my brain became permanently wired to believe practicality trumped everything. This is why I still drive my rust bucket of a Mazda - because it moves. Now of course if you can get walnut natural satin rather than vinyl along with all the practical tweeters, practical mid-woofers and practical woofers, then hell yeah. Bring it on!

Are you proud of you martial arts wall? Do you own only extremely practical implements or do you have special ones?

I use them all! Even the wooden dao. I use it when I'm play-fighting with my friends. They don't know how to defend and I'd hate to kill them.

The art on the walls is for diffusion. The only thing I have which has no practical purpose is the bottle of sarsaparilla my high school physics teacher gave me. We used to drink sarsaparilla together. He'll always be here...with me...in that bottle. One day I will drink him.

My neighbors had lawn jockeys holding up street addresses and pink flamingos on their front lawns. I never touched them.

I think you're still allowed to have pink flamingos though I haven't seen one in years.

I have a turntable and associated equipment which I rarely have the time to enjoy.

I would slay all those useless lawn dwellers.

When I was in college there was this guy who was into medieval fighting. He made him self a chainmail shirt and a few other essentials ... Every so often he'd get together with a friend who had plate mail and they take turns whacking at each other with these really heavy swords ...

He proudly displayed his mail on the wall when not in use ...

Ahh, should have known that ... diffusion ...
Well that fits with the furnace filters and pillow stuffing for absorption ...
