Beloved equipment

What's up with sellers describing their equipment as "beloved" as in "I'm selling my beloved power amp..." Are people forming an emotional relationship with a bunch of electric circuits housed in metal cases? I mean it's cool with me if that's your thing, but it does strike me as a little fetish-like. I wonder if anybody will admit to it, but are audiophiles bringing home flowers for their preamps and putting them in fancy lingerie?

The flip side is getting divorced...
Who wants "the 'dumped' for another sexy beauty" stuff anyway.
I want virgins to sacrifice on the audio altar.

You want virgins! Now that's funny. Between the power cords and the interconnects your electronics has seen quite a bit of breaking in, if you know what I mean.

The 'most erotic' connection is the 1/4" stereo jack! on the front panel.
Just thinking about it... OOOhhhhHHHHh
(Is this porno-thought allowed???)
I always use a mini-jack by the way!

My beloved 'horn' has been known to make some ear piercing cat type wailing on occasion (rare occasion, I might add). I always get the gold medal. Nobody remembers those that come second eh?
Oo-er missus.
