Conversation between Jeremy, my gay laptop, who joined the family a year ago, and Gregory, my straight digital piano keyboard, who joined almost two weeks ago. All you need by way of background is that Jeremy is a notorious flirt, and his method consists entirely of pointing out to his "target" the traits the two of them have in common.
Here is his first attempt to woo Gregory, a few hours after they were introduced.
Jeremy: Hey, Gregory.Gregory: Hello, Jeremy.
Jeremy: I'm shiny, you're shiny ...
Gregory: Yes.
Jeremy: I'm a keyboard, you're a keyboard ...
Gregory: Yes.
Jeremy: So, you wanna get QWERTY with me?
Gregory: I'm not that kind of keyboard.
And ... strike 1.
About the Moog synthesizer (very clever, D's), OH the background of THAT instrument: The true pioneer of the Moog Synthesizer was Wendy Carlos (born WALTER Carlos). I don't mean to make this about prurient gossip, but it was by far the most interesting (and yes, admittedly gossipy) tidbit I learned at University in "Writing in the Style of J.S. Bach" class.
Her first albums, pre-sex-change, were released under the name Walter Carlos (this includes Switched-On Bach and Switched-On Bach II).
Using the Moog synthesizer, incidentally, was NOTHING like using a "synthesizer" now. Evidently it was a bitch - a time-consuming, complicated process. But that's neither here nor there when it comes to sex changes.
By the time she released Switched-On Brandenburgs, she was Wendy Carlos. So there you go. Synthesizers, in general, must be innately sexual. Or something.

Offered by: Ds on September 9, 2008 6:11 PMYou know, if Jeremy is really hard up, I have a friend with an old Korg T-3 synthesizer who, you know, leans in that direction. I can't even tell you how many times T-3 tried to put the moves on me.
Okay, yes I can tell you. It was seven times.
