Return of the M-Machine
« on: August 23, 2004, 01:27:54 PM »
He's back!

I thought he was broken. Everytime I'd try to play him i'd get pops and buzzes. I was near to the point of throwing him out if he didn't do such a good job holding up my CD Tower so I didn't have to bend to the floor to get the groups starting with W-Z. But lo! He works! Who knows why.

I did have a really small CD player here, but it technically belongs to my SIL, and since she's off to college this week (watch for her Brandon, she's in a creative writing class this fall, but I don't know if yours or not) she wants to take it with her. So I got out my portable CD player to see if it would work with the M-Machine, hoping that it was just tape playback that did it. Well, not only does it not pop for the attachments, it doesn't pop at all! Maybe it just needed time off.

The M-Machine rocks!

There is a story behind the acquisition of the M-Machine, and also how it got it's name, but I'll spare you those, since I think most of you have heard at one time or another.

I no hear, I no know. Lets hear, lets hear.

Why does that thing and its picture make me think of 1980's erotic geek photography?

I still remember the moving job where Eric procured said "M" Machine...
A huge house,... huge,  that we had to bring a player piano up from the basement...

And we spent a long time packing up all their clothes too.
