Kattastrophic... :w00t:

Well i guess i'm doing something right then!
You could say i've 3 nicknames, sleezy being one of the rare ones though. :) (No not sleazy :p )
SleeZy i made up ages ago for a game and then got stuck with it. Before i even knew that there was a similar "not so good word" sounding similar to sleezy. :lol:

Others would be milko and mike. :)
Milko? Are you a big milk drinker? Or do you not care to explain that one? lol

Oh look, another group full of fun and good times... :w00t:

Can I bring my kayfun, Flashi and Gennys over here to play?

Of course - come on in! The only real rule I am aware of is to play nice... with perhaps an occasional bit of naughty fun lol

In my real-life circles of family and friends, if you have less than 3 nicknames, you're doing something wrong. All of mine are based off of "katt" but my favorite is "Kattastrophic"

So I'm good with womprats as a nickname, as long as we don't try to replace the official name of modwompers.

I've got at least 3 that I approve of :)

Being from the "black swamp" where they discovered large rodent fossils, I quite like womp rats.

lol... KattSkynard is one I think I can live without!
Early morning creativity had not caught up to me yet, I just kinda went with the lyrics and associated Katt with the artist. But there are several ways to skin a cat!:lol:....I am now hiding under my bed

Good eye @VictorViper indeed they are!
Unfortunately that is as close as I have come to the unobtainable R10's, by putting them on my cats head in Shop. ;)

I did run a pair of LCD 3's for 3 weeks on tour from Audeze and Burson.

Haven't been on HF in several years now. When I moved out West I sold off my higher end stuff and really never had the luxury of getting back into it. I still have a pair of A-T ESW9's and my trusty Grado 225's, but my nice equipment, amps and reference cans are long gone, sadly.

I quite miss it. I had been the main organizer of Toronto meets for a few years. Even landed Ray Samuels as a guest at one of them. I also made it down to Can Jam in... jeez, I want to say 2008? Was in Ft. Lauderdale, anyway.

I've always suspected the mod scene would likely attract the stereo-weirdos and I guess I'm not totally wrong! :D

[EDIT] My goodness, the Little Dots have come a long way.

OK well I am really ticked off...Kansas passed the E cig and Tobacco tax bill. Starting today the tax per pack rose 50 cents. The E cig tax which goes into effect this time next year will cost 20 cents per milliliter....whether it has nicotine in it or not. It was said point blank the tax is to help the 400 million dollar shortfall. Projected to raise 2 million in the first year.....wow a drop in the bucket compared to 400 M, yet the state will spend 1.12 Billion on smoking related healthcare next year.....Well add another few million to that from E cig users who go back to tobacco use!:facepalm:

What? No cries of "it's for the children!" ???

At least they didn't lie about it being about money, but I'm sure that's no consolation. Sorry.

Oh there was some but they were just touting that the tobacco tax would save millions in health costs for those who quit.....Now you tell me how that works....Hummm they save on a little healthcare but lose 3 times as much in revenue? RIGHT!!

But here the mention of minors was not the issue at the core, sure it was handled and justifiable too, but the bottom line is they wanted revenue and they got it.....so they think. The vast majority of the population borders Missouri which has the cheapest tobacco around, in the nation too. I can take a 10 minute drive over the river and buy cigs for just about half the cost in Kansas. There is no E cig tax there as well....Guess where everyone is going to buy tobacco and E cigs...in Mizzo....We have a sales tax here just about 10 cents on the dollar including groceries, I just make a 35 minute drive to Nebraska where there is zero sales tax, sure I spend a little on gas but save on taxes much more.

They just are just that desperate here they cannot even see 2 borders that nullify the intent.

OK RANT over.....I feel better now

Is it supposed to apply to online out of state purchases as well? If so, idk how they would plan to enforce it. Most of these things are so poorly thought out, it's insane. If you have a $400M dollar shortfall, why not raise the sales tax by a penny instead of trying to rely on an overtaxed minority?
