  ...and all we had on hand was a $20K CD player. We figured, if it could spin a CD, and had that super-ultra transport, it ought to be able to crush ice.

    When a $20K CD player can't even crush ice properly. I am, however, wondering about these parties. Crushed ice? Real men don't drink anything that involves crushed ice, those are girly drinks.

      What about the Chivas Regal snow cone? It comes with the Hunter S. Thompson official seal of approval (made from 100% seal, personally clubbed by the late Mr T himself). It's an essential part of a healthy and nutritious breakfast too, if you have run out of vermouth and mescaline.

      Vow, great to hear that. I always wondered how anybody could have a drink with crushed ice. Especially while partying.

      This is an audiophile party. Why would you think there were real men present? We were makin' strawberry daiquiris and doin' the conga line. Which would have been way better if there had been any women in attendance -- but, you know, audiophile party.

  Do you recognize the common factor between these two examples?

    I'd have to do some research to see if they all have the same reviewer(s) in common but I believe they all stem from one periodical, not Stereophile.
