I like to have both hands on your head for smoother, more responsive fellatio, Ben.
I have this bluetooth headset, which I like a lot: it's comfortable and sounds better than anything else I've tried. It's not quite as small as some others, but you know how that goes.
Some of that Plantronics stuff looks sweet. Maybe I should just go bluetooth.
I've found their headsets sound the best; I have a wired Plantronics too.

Bluetooth, comes with two different sized ear pieces for fit and for different ambient noise levels. Charges off the wall or powered USB port. Works quite well on a Motorola 815. The kids say it's uncool, doesn't make you look like a cyborg complete with aircraft warning strobe. I'm cool with that.
Plus, brain cancer! Get the wired kind, Labs.
I am unaccountably amused at the idea of both Ogged and Labs with headsets. Am I wrong, or was there a thread here some time back making merciless fun of headsets? Or was that just making fun of people who don't ever take them off?

Are you referring to the basic iron triangle or is this some more obscure technical reference?

There was this, but I think someone (Becks?) made a post about this, as well.
Thanks, Ben, that's actually the thread I was thinking of.
I know nothing about cellphones -- having only owned one for a month -- but if I had my druthers, I'd be able attach these bad boys to it and hear everything perfectly, just like when I watch TV. (TV being more important than people, you know.)
By the way, people, I'm at work doing some stuff and have The Doors blasting, and you know what? The Doors are still awesome! I eat more chicken any man ever seeennnn...
Oh, you earworming pigfucker.
Take it easy, baby,
Take it as it comes...
Stuff to do this weekend; came in a couple of hours ago.
He's at work because who's going to hang out with someone who listens to the Doors?
does anyone know of ipod headphones that don't suck? Earbuds, or whatever they're called, are fine if they actually stay in...the standard ones don't.
This is like the flaw that either invalidates or confirms ogged's coolness, depending on whether you're talking to a normal person or his mom.
11: The HD280 Pros are great, but the sensation of having my head clamped in a vice gets overwhelming if I wear them for more than an hour or so. That's why I upgraded to these.
We had a thread on this, Katherine. I went with the Grado sr60s and like them.
Bastard. Now I've got Light My Fire in my head.
She lives on love street,
Lingers long on love street,
She has a house and garden,
I would like to see what happens
la la la lalala la la la la lalalala
I'll repeat my recommendation from the previous thread re iPod headphones: Etymotic ER-6i. List price is $150, but Amazon sells 'em for $85.
Becks, we should beat the crap out of him.
Come on along, not going very far
To the East! To meet the Czar!
28: I've got the bizarre UB-40 cover of Light My Fire in my head.
Someone is clearly killing time while the software upgrades install.
By annoying people.
Which really is the best way to kill time. Carry on, Ogged.
28: Watch this. It'll clear that right up.
I thought the Doors was something Ogged admitted to as a youthful failing? It's ongoing?
Yech This would be bad enough if you'd been 14 in 1968.
I hadn't listened to the Doors in probably ten years until tonight, whereupon I found that I still love them. Seriously, TomF, when summer's gone, where will we be?
I actually kind of like the song in 38. I also like The Doors, though.
Ogged's just a big old pothead, obviously.
Sennheiser's like the one linked in 30 are great, especially if comfort is an issue. I've got the slightyly older 485's.
34.--I've got the space-age lounge cover by the "Mikesflowerspops" of "Light my Fire" stuck in my head. (The cover version is lighter and cheesier, but what it really does is illuminate how close the Doors always were to Burt Baccarat to begin with.)
Burt Baccarat
A kind of musical card game.
Come with me dance, m'dear
Winter's so cold this year,
You are so warm, my wintertime love,
To meeeee.
I have no idea what you mean, JM.
42: I like the song too. The Doors are a bridge too far, though.
Take me, Spanish Caravan.
Yes, I know you can.
What is wrong with you people?
I once tried to transcribe the organ intro to "Light my Fire". It's not that easy because it's chromatic in some way.
Christ. How IS his name spelled then?
25: Ogged, are you just going to stand there and let Labs call your mother abnormal?
I'm suddenly remembering an incident years ago, when one co-worker walked in on another, Sunday afternoon when nobody was expected to be in the office. She had earphones in and was singing along (loudly) to some '80s tune.
She was embarrassed all out of proportion to what I would have expected. Isn't that about a 1.5 on the Scale of Things We Do When We Think We're Alone?
The men don't know,
But apostropher understands.
Damnit!
I mean, I was just making small talk. I like killing you.
Ride the snake. He's old and his skin is cold.
Not to break the rhythm, but is the site as slow as molasses or what?
The best cover of "The End" is by Nico, by the way, as performed on June 1st 1974.
I am the LizardBreath!
I can do any... stuff.
I like The Doors too, but they always remind me of Nicco, and I always end up listening to Velvet Underground instead.
Not to break the rhythm, but is the site as slow as molasses or what?
Slower.
Aha! The lounge cover band I was talking about has a MySpace page with its version of "Light My Fire" available---as well as its much funnier version of "Wonderwall."
Fine, slow as molasses in Vermont in February.
Although it's faster now.
I came into this thread thinking that Ogged could do no wrong after posting that link to naked Clive Owen pictures, but now I'm thinking that the naked Clive Owen grace period may last 3 more Doors lyrics' posts, tops.
It's never that straightforward, Magpie.
Oh, it's exactly that straightforward -- Doors lyrics kill all goodwill in their path.
Faces look ugly when you're alone, Magpie.
When the still sea conspires in armor, its sullen and aborted currents breed tiny monsters.
It turns out that what's in the back of the roadhouse are "some bungalows" and not "someone to love us." Too bad.
Magpie is cracking under the pressure.
Why are you quoting Nostradamus at me?
We're trying to pry open your door of perception.
Let's swim to the moon, uh huh. Let's climb through the tide. Penetrate the evening that the City sleeps to hide. Let's swim out tonight love, It's out turn to try. Parked beside the ocean on our Moonlight drive.
No, *I'm* not doomed, my goodwill towards Doors-quoters is.
I tried to post a comment from my cell phone earlier in response to Apostropher's 83 to keep his filthy pervy hands off my door, but I kept getting an access denied error. Hm.
The Doors are everywhere, Magpie. Everywhere.
I kept getting an access denied error
Of course. You can't stop Mr. Mojo Risin', Magpie.
