WV Specials

Short form for 'white van' audio speakers. If someone in a white van approaches you - usually in a mall parking lot - and says they have a surplus of home audio speakers they're willing to literally 'give away', that's because they can't even do that....until they meet someone like you. You think this is a break in life....imagine full high fidelity sound for only $100! Truth is they are acoustically crap to begin with and will only last a few hours when pushed. If your 'lucky' enough to find a carpeted set and you have a cat, you could ditch the speakers and add play toys your kitty would love scratching these boxes.

I have a pair of WV Specials that still have one tweeter working after the party ended. I just bought them last week.

sensoria

1) the parts of the brain or the mind concerned with the reception and interpretation of sensory stimuli - the entire sensory apparatus

2) 80's gritty and haunted electronic track by Sheffield's Cabaret Voltaire. Ahead of their time and remain timeless. Video by Peter Care incorporates brilliant footage and angle work and the message conveyed is all about choice.

1) Without a properly functioning sensoria danger can be blindly mistaken for fun.

2) The 80s tracks 'sensoria' is to England is what GMF's 'the message' is to the US.

inside baseball

1) Baseball slang. A strategy based on teamwork and good execution. Keeps the ball infield using walks, base hits, stolen bases and bunts.

2)term used in American politics to utiltize a means to an end through evil practices.

The migration of sport to politics is in the 'inside' depicted as a hall of mirrors. By providing info 'from the inside' results in overconfidence leaving the informants in fact clueless about what actually happens in the game or simply, bullshit baffles brains.

1) The Baltimore Chop - where a batter swings downward on the ball resulting in a skyward rebound, allowing the batter to reach first base safely before the opposing team has a chance to make a play.

2) When McCain challenged Obama's committee work in the Senate, Obama brushed it off with "that's Senate inside baseball."

tortured genius

You are smart. Brilliant in fact. And while it's a blessing, it's also a curse. Your head is filled with everything - grand ideas, insufferable worries, and a good deal of angst.

You're uniquely brilliant - and completely misunderstood.
Not like you really want anyone to understand you anyway. You're pretty happy being an island.

Shakespeare, Van Gough , Michaelangelo and Mozart have varying degress of genius.

Rock stars, poets, painters and artists are current pop culture tortured geniuses. The genius of geniuses managed to keep the wolf from the door.
