My family asked me what I wanted for Christmas...
"well... I finally finished replacing all my old underwear last year... so... I dunno..."
"Dad... you are absolutely no help at all. Really, what do you want?"
"Well... I wanna get back to Jiu-Jitsu...maybe a couple of compression shirts?"
"Compression shirts! GAH!"
So the wife's been watching me all season hook up these little battery powered iPod speakers to my computer (that I forget to turn off, so I'm going through a bunch of AA batteries) so that I can listen to the computer and the Redzone at the same time. I don't have computer speakers. But, she knows as a Home Theater buff, I'd be picky. So, she just starts asking me which speakers I researched.
Of course, idiot I am, I start going on and on about the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers. She just nods.
Well, let's just say that THIS SUNDAY... I won't be listening to the Rams game on some crappy iPod speakers. The whole family pitched in and I'm putting my new speakers through their paces. They look really nice! And they sound... well, really nice. Even out of the box. Can't wait until they've been broken in a bit!
I'm throwing a bit of everything at them from the Forrest Gump soundtrack (Fortunate Son by Creedence....oh man!!!), to Beethoven, Billy Joel, my Standards collection with Frank, Dean, Mel, NKC, Rosemary to a whole bunch of R&B and Funk (I'm partial to Zapp, Parliament Funkadelic and Digital Underground). I even have some 3 Doors Down that'll be a little later. Bet Kryptonite will be amazing.
It's almost like having a new computer.
Best Present since the wife was able to get me those 2 Warner jerseys for me (and what's amazing is that they were on Clearance from the NFL shop for $10 the year before he went to NY).
So, not exactly Rams gear, but... it WILL greatly improve my Rams experience...
Oh.. and I'm not allowed to ask for compression shirts next year... LOL.
