The whole description is great!

"Meatier Player

As much as we love this Archos 504 40GB Portable Media Player, we have to level with you: it’s not quite perfect. Sure, it gets great reviews at places like Cnet, just like most Archos players do. On its face, it looks like the very model of a modern media player. But peek behind the Archos curtain, and you’ll find…

• 40GB hard drive holds so many songs, mentally unstable users may become frustrated and bellicose when trying to decide what to listen to.
• Users may find themselves drawn into the shadowy demimonde of pirated video and music downloading, where they may be vulnerable to white slavers, dope pushers, and Scientology recruiters.
• Bright 4.3” widescreen TFT display may keep your fellow airline passengers awake, resulting in fisticuffs.
• After you get used to watching movies wherever you want on your own personal screen, watching them at the theater becomes a terrifying, disorienting ordeal.
• Portable access to thousands of songs or dozens of movies will intensify your mental enslavement to the corporate Hollywood mind control machine. But not necessarily in a bad way.
• Included travel dock allows direct recording from video sources like a digital camera, giving you one more piece of equipment to fiddle around with during important family moments.
• Archos 504s are highly coveted by thieves, who may also extract and sell your internal organs while they’re at it. You never know. It happens.
• You’ll never be sure if your friends like you for you or for your Archos 504.
• TV-out capability may result in greater time spent in front of your TV, which may result in obesity, which may result in cardiac or respiratory problems, which may result in death. It’s a longshot, but we’re just trying to be thorough here.
• The presence of both a USB port and a USB host port may produce feelings of sexual ambiguity.
• Steve Jobs might see you with this and still try to convince you how wonderful the iPhone is with an hour-long personal keynote.
• No AC adaptor included."

Did it come with that guy pictured in that gizmo?

I wonder if that is true?


There are some wishes that are hard to make happen.......that wish you just asked for may be an easy one......

I assume it is, rather than trying all the bullshit games with the females like making em laugh and playing hard to get I would think all you have to do is be like "hey, I like football" and he would be like "me too...wanna do it"?

There's a bar in West Hollywood called The Spike. If you go to the bathroom, you're going to have sex whether you like it or not.

Well it wouldn't happen without one hell of a fight. I'm too straight I think, no sense of fashion and I really lack that sensitivity thing.

That's scary, I can imagine these guys and gals dressed bikers clothes.

Some were. Hell, the guy behind the bar was only wearing a vest and chaps (no pants). But there were guys there wearing (very expansive, as in thousands) two and three piece suits.

Question is: What was your outfit that night, crotchless chaps or expensive suit?

Casual jeans with a hole in the ass.

That turned out to be a pretty damn good night. It was New Years ever of 1994. I was working the graveyard shift and had got off work early. My girlfriend had gone out with her sister and friends and didn't leave any info on where she was.

I was pissed, but I didn't want to go home. My friend Rob, who's gay (and very good looking), said I could tag along while he bar-hopped. I figured, what the hell, why not? We bar-hopped from 11PM to 5AM. Since I wasn't gay, but dressed nicely, I think that most of the guys at the bars thought I was new meat. Rob spent a lot of time fending them off (and getting some numbers in the process).

I was playing billiards (the kind with a table, you pervs) as the sun came up. It was one of the most relaxing mornings of my life.

So, no one has ever seen one of these before huh?

At what rate did they expand and was it limitless expansion, or did it continue for a predetermined amount of time?

Ok, cool. I've read shit about them being really prone to static electricity damage, is that true with yours?

well if you are a gay guy in a bar where the bartender is just wearing chaps you are going to need some expansion room in your trousers.

Or, as we say in nerd parlance: My floppy turns into a hard driver for you!
