That Creep is Just a Dirty Old Man

Assuming you're not on any particular quest for porno, mostly the Internet is about looking for something interesting to read.  Maybe that reading leads to a video or some such but still it was something you read which led you to believe, well, I think this might be worth some of my time.

Frustrated:  but mostly I run into hordes of psychotic fucksticks on the net!

That has become a bit of a problem and that's part of the Rockhouse interest in Sociology.


Frustrated:  you pretend to be such a Scientist but you're just a Dirty Old Man posting pictures of much younger girls!

The Rockhouse not at all defensively submits there's no more prurience in Ithaka than you could find in the average box of breakfast cereal.  If you see dirt, it's because you put it there, Reverend Mother.

I really won't make it as a Dirty Old Man since I have no easily-concealed cameras or anything of that nature and find it abhorrent that anyone gets off on such material, particularly from the locations such people seem typically to prefer to acquire it.

Mostly thoughts regarding Dirty Old Men are projections of your own wicked thinking with the idea Dirty Old Men are doing the same thing.  The way it really goes, Young Sprout, is you're twenty and you see some twenty-year-old hot stuff which makes you go nuts.  More likely I'm going to think, dayum, what an annoying squeaky voice and I may go nuts but it won't be the same way you will.

Dirty Old People have just as many wicked thoughts as you young 'uns but the difference is we're too lazy to do anything about them.

Frustrated:  except for the Hot for Teacher fantasy

Every young man's dream come true, mate.

Frustrated:  you're not a young man

Now ain't that a tragedy (larfs).


I can write porno which will totally steam your windshield but that's not interesting reading unless it's within some context which has more depth than making like monkeys.  We're all monkeys and I think most of us are ok with that so long as young monkeys are not involved.


Lately there's been interest in high-speed rally driving and it's really not clickbait to post such material since it interests me as well after some experience racing in my own life as well as with most of my sibs (only one did not participate).

There's also been interest in politics but that interest is fickle and at other times you don't want to see a word of it.

My own political interest has been to get away from the generic yak because see above about psychotic fucksticks and the recent example of Sessions is why.  Everything coming from their investigation is a consequence of him talking to Russians and who gives a rat's ass if he talks to Russians when the White House is supposed to be full of diplomats anyway.

Whether Sessions lied or not, frankly, I don't care.  The fact the subject came up in the first place made any consequence of it irrelevant to me.


The science has been running not all that interesting in recent weeks.  There are still daily reports of great things they do but much of it goes toward esoteric purpose and my purpose is much more toward the pop sci aspect of it.

Critic:  must make for interesting reading?

Yep and it has to be interesting for me since writing about something I already know is just a recital.


One irrelevant note since this article has gone rambling anyway.

I may have fritzed the Yamaha audio mixer.  That unit is the input for the instruments and it feeds the audio to the looper which then feeds it to the primary mixer.  It's required as I could otherwise record only one instrument with the looper before I would have to start re-plugging to get a different one.

No audio is getting to the looper but the mixer seems operational and a sanity check of switches, knobs, and whatnot reveals no fault.  It doesn't appear a signal is reaching the mixer but that doesn't make sense for two different instruments (i.e. based on the two things don't fail at the same time rule).

Gearhead:  that rule doesn't always hold!

I know and I've been stung by that before.

Note:  a Boss RC 50 looper is one of the best you can get but it's remarkably primitive in terms of monitoring the input signal since there's no indicator except a red LED to indicate overload and clipping.  Even if the utmost worst happens and the existing looper is the culprit, there is a replacement here so that's not a killer.


There's a stall at the moment since the next move is to try replacing cables to see if that makes any difference but that's such a ferocious nuisance with crawling under things to do it.  There's no wrist-slashing crisis since a replacement is $80-$120 and that hurts but it's not terminal.  Before that will be considered, I have to be absolutely sure it's busted and right now I'm not.
