    If only more introspection resulted in 8-track music…

      She could have turned him into a sex machine.

        Thank you for that scarring mental image!

        He already has quite the phallic hat.

        That’s going to be the next upgrade.

        Tigerlily will be excited (not like that!), Mustachio will be confused, and Tip will be crushed. Hilarity will be had by all.

        Well, maybe not Gavotte or Sweetheart, they seem to disapprove of hilarity ensuing on general principle.

    Aw. That’s so sweet.

    I love how, to Moustachio, anything more modern than the gramophone is equally shiny and futuristic.

      I figure the gramophone itself could be in that category. He’s from the first half of the 19th century, remember? Gramophones were invented in 1887.

    Eight tracks always did sound better than cassettes…

    (TUNE: “I Feel Good”, James Brown)

    My!
    I feel well!
    Perhaps you can tell, now?
    I feel well,
    As sound as a bell, now!
    Pip pip!
    Quite “hip”!
    I have funk!

    I detect,
    When I introspect …
    Eight-track deck
    Is spelling “Respect”!
    Sir Brown
    “Gets down”!
    He has funk!

    Well we knew he was a machine. Now he’s a sex machine. Even if he can’t get up.

        So should I be worried about the big payback?

    Is it wrong I’m getting verklemmt over Moustachio making an appearance?

    And does the 8-track upgrade mean he’s got access to more programming, or just that he’s got access to more musical programming?

      Probably just the one eight track cassette—with his tiny arms he probably can’t change it.

        At least that’s probably multiple albums. Last time I saw one (1984?) I’m pretty sure there was at least 2 or more albums on the 8-track cassette.

          Usually just one album, twelve to sixteen songs, three or four to a “track.” Two tracks each to cover stereo—hence, the name, eight tracks.

          God help you if you got one that wouldn’t switch to another track when it reached the end of the track…or if a particularly long song was divided between two tracks…

          But stereo separation, with good tapes and good equipment, was better than vinyl or cassettes—I had access to The Beatles “Hey Jude” [American] album on eight track, and the stereo wasn’t bettered on CD till the 2009 reissue…

      Happy birthday! I don’t know about Jeff. But I would NOT want a cut and paste job for MY birthday. Sounds…painful.

    Meanwhile, the thing that jumps out at me is the fact Nick has his rotors folded. :p
