Runners UP

(in the order they were received)

Several years ago when my friend was sixteen years old his parents agreed to let him have a car if he worked for it. He began working part time for a local burger joint on weekends and after school.  About a year later he had saved enough money to buy the car of his dreams---a 1964 ½ Ford Mustang Convertible. He carefully searched all the used car lots as well as the local classified ads.  Undaunted by his inability to find the car of his dreams, he continued working. One Saturday afternoon a customer pulled into the restaurant lot with a "for sale" sign in his car window.  As luck would have it, it was a 1964 ½ Ford Mustang.  Talk about your good timing! He fell in love with the car and agreed to buy it. A few days later he paid the elderly gentleman in cash. As he drove the vehicle away he noticed there was a slight problem with the timing, but that was the least of his worries. As he drove the car home it began to jerk and chug down the road. The timing belt had broken! As the car came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the road it was broadside by a Chevy Camero. This not only bent the frame, but totaled the vehicle. 

Now talk about your bad timing…..

 


I guess you could say timing in life and timing in speakers share a common ground. Timing in life is BIG! To be in the right place at the right time could men the difference between happiness and unhappiness. The same goes for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The parallel between speakers is easy. Being in the right place (positioning for maximum listening pleasure - time coherent) is everything. As is being in a bad position.


A Meadowlark Parody To the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy

Verse

I would like to win your contest,
I would like those speakers;
Let me hear those highs and lows
From woofers and from tweeters.

Chorus

Meadowlark's the place to shop
When sound is of the utmost,
If I get your products now
Then to my friends I can boast.

Verse

Listen to the pretty sounds
Coming from the Petrel;
I could listen all night long
To Nightingale or Kestrel.

Chorus

Meadowlark's the place to shop
When sound is of the utmost,
If I get your speakers now
Then to my friends I can boast.

Verse

Time is of the essence now,
Must finish up tonight;
I might get those speakers yet,
If I timed this just right

Chorus

Meadowlark's the place to shop
When sound is of the utmost,
If I get your speakers now
Then to my friends I can boast!
