That would be difficult if it springs forth from the great ego that is tabs.

Or make people wonder if the machine is a "Syncronika" or a "Syncornika"

You give a detailed description of what a wonderful machine it is but in your first sentence you admit you don't even own one?

The "fly" comment reminded me of that one Breaking Bad episode.

He says that he's only ever bought one. He may have had use of one, or been given one.

I think tabs is trying to tell us that espresso is bad for your heart.

BINGO... WE HAVE A WINNER>>>>>A WINNER I TELL YA...that was the metaphor I was referencing...

That shows I have the bonafides of having bought and used a superlative machine .for it's the time...I am not a newbie..and I am comparing the new machine favorably to the Salvatore.. I also made reference to the Syncronika as being comparable to a RR..and that it is a durable machine that will last like a RR.

I did take a shot at the coffee geeks being overly obsessive about their quest for perfection. It is only a cup of coffee for christs sake.

I would think that the millennial hipster coffee geek demographic would have seen and or been aware of the series. that was the demo I was aiming at...and the undercurrent I created will not be lost on them even if they are not consciously aware of it. If perchance they do catch it they will know I can throw a mean curve ball...

Timber caught it ..he heard and identified the dog whistle..

I don't know, but he always reminds me of Ignatius Reilly from the book, A Confederacy of Dunces. Come to think of it, this site is full of Ignatiuses.
