I always knew you had a swelled noggin Monkey. Comes from it being filled with so much grey matter. I'm quite sure I have a much smaller cranium, as it takes very little space to fit all my brains.

Over.

You're such a propellerhead the last thing you need is more cores; it's a scary thought.

Maybe I could offload some CPU cycles to you once in a while. Walking and peeling bananas at the same time is a challenge. Hmm... :?

I'm just seeing it now... the Human Render Farm.

It's like the Human Centipede, just with brains.

I misspoke. They are sheepskin not lambskin.

I ordered a couple sets and installed over the weekend. A bit tricky at first but I figured it out and was able to do it in around 3 minutes per cup.

Major improvement over the crumbling leatherette Sony originals (available on Amazon)—and the same price, too.

Thanks again for the tip!

Glad you like them. I've had mine for over a year now. We'll see how long they last.
