and so for the second time this week my large person and brought the demise of yet another pair of headphones. as i fee-fi-fo-fum my way around my room, kerraccckkk 'whats that?' and as i look down, shit, there lies the poor broken lifeless body of a headphone, never again to sing.

im reading this book now that is kinda about WW2, amongst other things, and this part really tickled me-

'... The Japanese Navy is a different story- they know what they are doing. They have yamamoto. they have torpedoes that actually explode when they strike theis targets, in stark contrast to the American models which do nothing but scratch the paint of the Japanese ships and then sink apologetically...'
-Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson
