$135,000 USD for a friggin' Blu-ray player?! wow!!!!...it should be great one for that price. A $300,000 turntable had better be fantastic as well.

Also why are uber-expensive things like this so damn ugly? Looks like a souped-up Playstation, the old one. I wouldn't want it in the living room. Suppose it's like those fugly overpriced Goldvish and Vertu mobile phones.

Love the 3.0CS. Best looking BMW ever! Had an '88 M3 Black with burgundy interior, second best.

People just aren't fast enough.... Deal with the tiller, handle the jib, and then, SMACK, boom in the face.

No matter how good you are if you jibe and the wind is blowing hard enough you're going down. It's a bonus when it's a kid!

That can be true of a tack, I folded a hobie cat hull in half on a windy day once. Rowing a half-floating catamaran home through whitecaps is a tiring experience.

This was on a lake.

I've never gotten blown over while I was on the tiller. Maybe I should take a dinghy out this summer and learn some humility!

Vox, if you doom this thread to Dumb Threads like my Ambrosi thread, I swear to god . . .

Do it, Vox, do it! Hell, just do it to see if you can do it!

When it's heavy and shifty, a jibe at the wrong time can handily blow over a dinghy even when you have a good skipper -- learn it the hard way at mark roundings

Did you pick off any uneaten or partially eaten food before the trays were tilted into the bins?

I'm trying to decide if this was a happy accident, or if you're deliberately referencing the "scrounging" practice at Reed. As the saying goes, "Are you through with that?"

Yes, I was referring to the scrounging tradition at Reed.

You'd tell me if you were sick, right?
