Keep away from water

 

Hm, still working on the Good issue.  Good.

Once upon a time when I was still working at the pizza joint, someone left a pair of JBL powered speakers on top of the dough cooler.  That was 2006, and I had just completed "Shadowplay's Greatest Hits part 3: The Struggle to be Normal".  Cell phones didn't play music back then, so I had a pair of mini speakers connected to a battery powered Radio Shack amplifier connected to an mp3 player dangled around my neck like a necklace so I could listen to my own programming while I cooked, and I could pause it when I answered the phone.  I tried hooking up the tunes to the JBLs on the cooler, and everything sounded like complete crap.  The owner of the speakers (a DJ) never claimed them, so I asked the boss if I could have them.  He said no, the owner will come back for them.  I said that I didn't want to use them, I wanted to dissect them.  You know, like a frog in science lab.  The moral of this story is that sometimes, betrayal is in the machine.
