Musical Fidelity Watch review would be humorous.

I just read Sam's Space and didn't see any humour in it.

Did you guys?

Looked like a straight sales job to me.

OTOH the rest of the issue was pretty good.

Keep in mind I'm not complaining about another MF review...just that JA said it would be humorous and I found it anything but...

Oh, and we can look forward to a MF review in EVERY Sam's Space for the rest of the year...boy that's a shock! I'm not sure why Sam felt compelled to tell us this. Why should the future be different from the past......

You misunderstood me. I meant that the fact that Sam was reviewing a
watch was in itself humorous. The wristwatch review itself was
deadly serious.

I remember you answering a letter (in the letters section of your mag) complaining about profanity by telling the guy to fuck off, or something similar to that. I laughed out loud when I read your response.

Anyway, I guess that reviewing a MF watch is the equivalent of telling all of us to fuck off that gave you the feedback that we are sick of seeing MF reviews.

I think I might be getting a handle on your sense of humor.

I can't wait for Sam to pimp Musical Fidelity toilet paper in your nex issue....now that would be funny!

Marbles, lighten up! What do you care?

 

It appears that those blue words at the top of the page, posted on May 19, 2004 at 15:31:30
have too many vowels.

 

You're right John, I should lighten up.., posted on May 19, 2004 at 20:36:50

I have no idea why I care.

I feel much better after venting in my last post.
