Unmitigated disaster with my TSS box

[Jay]

Was it red wine? Was the book actually opened? If it was only white wine and it only spilled over the hard cover, you may be in luck. Just pat it dry and put it somewhere where it can dry out for a day. Hopefully it won't leave to big of a stain. If it's red wine, and the pages got wet, well...you're screwed.  If I had an extra one I'd send you mine.

My sympathies to the Don..

What a tragedy

[Micha]

Wine, bought for the occasion. Whilst playing CD1, I licked the book dry.

Within an hour of having opened it and inspected its contents, I accidentally kicked over an entire bottle of wine on that LP-sized book. To ask the obvious: what's to do? 

This is more or less why, for a few years in there, I was typing everything without paragraph breaks no matter the length of the post: first a lovely friend, then I myself, had some incidents with wine and the computer I was using. The result was a still functioning machine, minus a few keys here and there (Enter/Return among them). It having been a not-inexpensive Mac laptop, I wasn't about to discard it.

As this post proves, eventually the problem was resolved.

Tough luck with the book, though. Want mine?

Luther... if that's a joke, I'm not upset. If the offer really stands, PM me. I am not really in the position to buy another box for quite some time. And we could have sex together, by way of a thank you...

...oh, and it was red and heavy wine. Pages gulfed and glued, front and back covers ruined.

Get your coat Luther, you've pulled.

At least you could listen to the TSS! Mine was lost in mail, and I was promised a new one by Amazon last Sunday and received it... two hours ago! Yay!

I was gutted a few years ago when a friend's dog ate a Neil Young CD and a John Martyn CD. Gutted…

 

That's classic! Which Neil Young CD?

Zuma

Oh... Watson, The Game's Afoot! (Zuma is known for it's super-high-pitched frequencies... beyond the CD Red Book Standard). That is/was one intelligent dog!

Good God! Was the dog okay? Like, sincerely - I can't imagine shards of plastic are easy on the stomach. When I was really young I smashed a CD and attempted to flush it down a porcelain toilet with metal pipes, and it didn't take too kindly to it at all - I can't imagine what it'd do to yer stomach.

How did the flushing sound?

The dog was fine. Didn't swallow anything. Just left Neil and Johnny in tatters. And me in te…

It would have been somewhat ironic had the cd been Arc.

Now Arc is a big favourite of mine. If you've ever walked through Glasgow city centre at 8.45am, listening to Arc through headphones, you realise it's the aural soundtrack to Danté's Inferno, and Glasgow is its physical realisation.

If the pooch had chewed Arc, his next meal would have been a Spice Girls CD.

[Jay]

I actually quite like Arc. But then again, I like You Know My Name(Look Up The Number) and Revolution 9.

Don just read your predicament and it made feel sick! Man you must be soooo pissed...

Have you decided what you are going to do?

Was the cd Summer In Paradise or Stars & Stripes Vol. 1?

How did the flushing sound?

Kinda like "CCCCHHHHHHHHSSSSSHHHHHSHSSHSHHHHCCCHHHHH". All my birthday money, gone the toilet didn't work correctly ever again, really, and it was replaced about a decade later.

Hm. A toilet that's not working getting a replacement 10 years later?

*giggle* didn't work correctly! It worked well enough, but was fairly temperamental. I was actually kind of sad to see it go.

Oh... so that smell in the last decade came from somewhere else...

I spilled a Zima on Zuma once.
