I say fire up the turntable again russell, that's what neil originally intended, 1,000,000 tiny photographs verses one long great slather of wisdom.

I'm still kind of stuck on RoOz's ruse that any kind of digital audio could be lossless.

October I found I'd effectively lost 25k tied up in a NZ trust. basically my lifesavings. Didn't feel much anger as much as regret at not having been prudent enough to just leave it in the bank.
Anger well..
When we live in a world we're we sincerely celebrate being able to buy music on a format that still sounds worse than the standard format of 1967. When we have bought some of our favorite stuff on every new format offered betwixt then and now. over a steady decline and slight lift in sound quality, then it must may slowly dawn on us, that we haven't been so prudent for many years, and we'll take whatever the king deigns to offer us.whilst enjoying the freedom of getting a bit hot under the collar about things, when we find we need to replace the needle.

Could have just been a one off throwaway. But was definitely the epitome of triteness by the time we reached victory speech. But this new shape exudes a pragmatic aroma, now awaiting someone to stretch it just a little further till we get to 'sesame street' and Obama's education policies.

nice, nothing beats a well stretched metaphor.

well, it's a hand systematic hidden opportunity. which quite naturally reminds (apologies) me that wank is 打飞机 'da fei ji' or literally hit an aeroplane, 打 da (hit/beat/strike) 飞 fei (fly) 机..the same ji. which you could interpret as 'beat a flying systematic hidden opportunity'.
back on topic, how about 'the great wowz'

sorry=手机 shou ji...looks like a mutated hand with six fingers

Sorry it wasn't so clear. on the surface the media is calling it literally 'global financial crisis'. Each two characters making up a separate word.
melting gold sounds confusing, the word finance or financial is 金融 jin rong (melt gold). the same jin as in Hu Jin tao.
the same with crisis. The standard term 'crisis', is 危机 wei ji, so it's used for any crisis. and yes on a subtext level, crisis is subconsciously hitting the mind of the literate as 'hidden systematic opportunity'. at the same level as English words like 'transport' or ' peanut'
And I'm probably reading a little two deeply into it, in that 机 ji is very commonly used as a suffix for machines/devices such as 危机 shou ji (hand machine/hidden systematic opportunity) cell phone.
but i like the optimism.

sorry not 'bu', meant to write 'qiu'
