BigKeys LX = Cherry? $85 BIN, $49 starting
« on: Fri, 19 February 2010, 15:22:05 »
This looks like the keys are made in the same factory as CHPAYKEYS, the retail-oriented key caps that don't fit the normal Cherry key stem. BigKeys.com suggests that these switches have life cycle of 1M, which seems to be 1/5th to 10th what I'd expect from a Cherry.

Can anyone confirm this is a cherry key switch? Ms Keyboard/Fentek maybe?

I always picture him saying, "are you done with that?"

I feel bad for...someone, not sure if it's the kid or not...when I see this photo.

Though, that doesn't stop me from saying "he'd probably eat the keyboard".

The worst part is that most people focus on the one kid.  His brother is a little porker, too.

There was a third, until the one in front ate him.

OK- it's Pic Title contest time:
 
"Mom - I KNOW you told me to never get caught"
 
"I am a role model Mom. Everybody wants to marry a supermodel and fool around."
 
"Yes, next time I'll marry a nice Asian girl"
 
"Ma, I'm just not sure yet whether you should get an Anniversary present for us."
 
"Ma, I know, I know. Tell your Maj Jong partners I'm STILL such a nice boy."

 
"Wanna f*ck?
 
I know, I know, you're my mom, but I'm not going back to therapy until next week."

"Do you come here often?
 
Wait, wait, wait, Mom!  Hold on, I just want to ask you one more question.  Do you have any sisters?"

Is that SUPPOSED to look somewhat like Tiger Woods?

"OK, so look, here's the deal.  I bought you that big-ass ring, so you know you owe me a favor, right?  Check it, at your next tea-social, tell your friends that I'm in town visiting.  I'll be down at the country club for 'free lessons,' and... Mom!  Where are you going???"

"I know these things run in the family, but Phil Mickleson?!? Next, you're going to tell me that screwed Vijay Singh, too.
 
Why are you looking at me like that?"

I'm sure there's a rational explanation for all this. Maybe she was just "playing through" at 2AM in the morning?

Damnit, I'm still laughing.

D'oh.

There's somewhat of a look of "Am I sure I belong here?" on his face...

That's the look you get when your wife shoves a golf club up your ass after she finds out you've been cheating on her.
 
 
Not that I would know, personally.

That IS a big ass ring.

I had to read that twice. Thought I'd missed a very odd pic for a second.
