A musical finale
August 13th, 2007

A musical finale

I listen to music in the bath quite a lot, and recently I’ve rigged up an old set of computer speakers to hook my mp3 player up to in the corner of the bathroom.

In theory it should be completely safe, but just as a reminder to be a bit careful with the whole water/electrical goods issue I wrote the words ‘Instant suicide kit – just add water’ on the side of the speakers.

I do this all the time, write on things that is… mostly on my own things, very rarely on other people’s as that would be a form of vandalism… so, sometimes I forget that visitors to my house may be disturbed by some of the more sarcastic or just plain odd things I write.

I got home today to find that someone had very tactfully removed the speakers and replaced them with a hair dryer with the words, ‘this should work better’, written on them.

    I hope that your little impro PA system is humidity proof.
    I find that alot of ppl don’t get my humour. I developed it thru a very twisted childhood and from working with 2 close mates on large construction projects.
    For some ppl a humoure-noir (like my french?? lol) is just to much!

    Not so much proof, as tolerant.

    I hope they are not in the corner over the bath - just imaging a thundering 8 wheeler juddering down the street where you like!!! Oopps and it would all be over.

    No, they’re not directly by the bath, that would be tempting fate…. you’re right, my house does rattle a bit when traffic goes past, but I’m more worried about the walls and roof giving way because of that.

    aha! thats classic. nice work, whoever did that. i use my laptop to listen to music in the shower, and place it all the way over the other end of the room because i am paranoid. wait, is concern for my life really paranoia?in this context maybe it is, i dont know.

    i plug my iPod into some mini speakers from poundland, then hide everything under my clothes which i leave just opposite the bath…

    I just wait till there is no one else home then I can leave the bathroom door wide open and crank the stereo.
    I once had a water proof iPod caver and a set of water proof earbuds, but when their anti water abilities combined they were like double negatives.
    Plus I don’t have a pocket to put it in anyway O_o

    “Plus I don’t have a pocket to put it in anyway”

    Glad to hear that, flesh pockets are a nuisance for collecting lint.

    thats so true! why make waterproof stuff when you wouldnt have a pocket? my bandaid is gone, by the way. freedom to type correctly is mine!

    That was meant to be a somewhat shocked face.
    But it got me moderated, so maybe a little to shocked.
    But I guess in theme with the comic above.

    Sorry about that, don’t know why it was moderated I can’t work out how to un-moderate it either.
