Slappys Sob Story. So long folks


Welp, this will be my final post on this board for quite some time.

I wanted to take a minuit to thank everybody for all the good info i got, and even to thank jerks like tire-guy for keeping it real. hahahaha

This will be my last post for some time, as i will not be able to enjoy this hobby for at least 6 months, and logging onto this board will do nothing but make me sad and miss my rig. Cause my Rig is about to be scrapped.

The Tale of Slappy's Rig.
Chapter 9. The end of the run.

Slappy made a bad decision that has come back to haunt.

Slappy had a roommate he was living with for 6 months. This guy was surly a few screws loose, and terminally unemployed

Slappys roommate was a dude called Ryan.
Ryan had no job, but earned social security due to a tragic event earlier in his life.
Slappy and Ryan roomed up, and things were great for about 4 months, then Ryan's Social security dried up and he couldn't find employment. It wasn't from a lack of looking around, but a lack of trying to get the job.

Slappy ended up paying this bastards end of the rent 4 times, on the last month of the lease Slappy paid his half and moved out, his roommate never paid his half, and due to Slappy shelling out a massive wad for rent and security deposit on a rental house, he had no money to cover his broke-ass friend.

Eviction came at the latter part of the last month of the lease. Ryan was a total jerk to the apartment management so they hated us. They didn't see any distinction between us because they only cared about the money, however, they sure were liberal when tallying up the total owed. It's a business after all.

Time has past and now payment is due. Slappy is engaged to get married (writes as wife though because he doesent feel like spelling out fiancée, yes, he is that lazy) and is fixing to buy their first house, a nice quaint 250,000 jobber in a rather "Well to do" part of southern Denver, a place truly worthy of his future wife.

Then it happens.
Mr. Bill collector says "total amount due NOW!"
Slappy cries "I don't have that much! I can pay in payments though! 400 a month maybe?"
Mr. Bill Collector says "No! Total due NOW! You pay NOW! Or we go to court and I garnish your paycheck! You get a big black mark on your credit! You wont get that house! Mwhahahahahah!!!!
Slappy pleads "Why don't you go after that Ryan bastard? He is on the lease too!!!?
Mr. Bill Collector coldly states "You have a good paying job, Ryan hasn't had a job in over a year. You are where the money is at, we don't care about who paid what, only that YOU PAY US"

Slappy checks with his legal services through work, sure enough, its right. Mr. Bill collector is in his rights to demand full due to the nature of the debt.

Slappy realizes that he must sacrifice his precious hardware or he wont get the house.

Later that evening, while Slappy is at work, he posts his stereo up for sale. Please forgive me fellow audiogoner's I need the money FAST, posting here wont get it sold in time. Shipping is a problem too.
Slappy posts his modest rig at work for sale for 3,500.00, a cool grand over the needed amount for the bills. But a good 2,200 below what he paid for it.
If nobody buys, he bought a bunch of gear from a major retailer less than a month ago that he bought with money received from selling all his Deftech speakers. He can return the gear and have most of it, but will still need to sell gear piece by piece to get the rest.

And thus, the demise and complete dismantling of Slappys rig is under way..

Slappy knows it the apartment situation was not his fault, but it WAS his responsibility, and is willing to pay the debt.

Its ok though, come january im going to rebuild my system. It will be faster. It will be smarter. It will be cleaner. And it will be good. And there will be Electrostats.

Peace out folks! Thanks for the fun!
See ya in january

Slappy sounds like he's full of #@%& IMHO! I've seen them come and go on this site. Audio, It's full of wackos.BTW, is a $250,000 home make you rich. Gee, then I can retire!Oops that $1500.00 house payment still comes due everymonth Hmmmh!
So so sad, silly Slappys' sob story. So Slap some sense into silly Slappy! Now try THAT three times fast!
Per Slappy's own words :
"i got this stupid psychological disorder, i can say something and have an extremly hard time of putting myself in another persons shoes and seeing how they will understand it. So i basically have my foot in my mouth 9-10 times a day

AND NO, IT IS NOT TARETTS

Needless to say this got me in alot of fights when i was younger and still gets me in trouble today! all my friends and family understand, but people who have not met me dont.
So please take anything i say with a grain of salt!"

I'll reiterate: Take EVERYTHING Slappy says with a grain of salt....
Hey Y'all,

The mention of making his system faster, strong, ET all, is from the intro you get from going on AOL for Broadband. I do it at work all the time and the intro annoys the crappy out of me. I doubt very much that Slappy is old enough for the Lee Majors reference. Hey Charles, what you've described, the wife/girlfriend staying home watching soaps and eating Bon-Bons sounds like any episode of "Married with Children". I do agree with you about having anyone without a job moving in, it's a very bad move. As for the women, it sounds like you've just hooked up with the wrong chicks. If you find the right one, her having to carry her own weight is irrelevant. I can attest to this from personal experience.......John
