so I go to the local GC...

and look for line mixers. I need to find a small line mixer, just 2 inputs is all I require, to use to mix my 2 keyboards live for the 1 input to the FOH. I was using my mixing amplifer as a monitor and used the mixer on it to perform the mixing function for the 2 keyboards. but we recently obtained Avioms for monitoring and I had to remove my mixing amplifer. so I need a small line mixer in order to continue to use both keyboards.

A 20 something year old GC drone (I am serious about his age!) comes up and asks if I need help.

GC Drone: do you need some help?
Me: yes, I see a lot of analog mixers here, but I don't see any Line Mixers.
GC Drone: Line Mixers?
Me: Yes, I just need a simple line mixer, I dont need more than 2 inputs.
GC Drone: what's a Line Mixer?

Those rolls or art stomp box size were exactly what I was looking for. But they didn't have them. Nor did they have the rack mounted line mixers, just the regular analog mixers.

Ha, true he does need to start somewhere! But I did know equipment when. I was his age.

Actually I ended up getting a 6 channel Alto mixer with tape I/O and EQ. It was on sale for $41

I don't need a blender to mix limes in my beer!

bapu
Put de lime in the Beagle's beer and mix it all up.
 
 
 
I said Doctor!

What?  Have you gone coconuts???! 

You guys are so sublime.  I hope Beagle didn't get a lemon. 

Well you demand cheap gear, they hire cheap help. What did you expect ?? Einstein to come out and help you ?? 

I usually down a few (or 10) "limes" before I go into GC........I just like to see eye to eye with Scooter's bro, Einstein......when making informative decisions talking high-ended topics.

That's Napoleon Einstein, not Al who works at GC.  "Nappy" as he is referred to by his coworkers is very knowledgable about the important things at GC like the disco balls and the scratch turntables.

Oh, right. The Nap Dawg.  I went in for some drum sticks and guitar strings. He didn't know what those were, but he sold me some lights for my shoes that are da bom. They're for shizzle. I still don't know how that makes anything sound better, but he was very convincing.

I don't know. It appears that everything that sparkles, lights up, or blinks in some way is for shizzle. Those things are also, apparently, the only things you need to make monstah tracks. He seemed to feel that shizzle wouldn't mind letting me use them as long as I wore a baseball cap sideways. According to Nap Dawg, that's just the way it works.
 
Who am I to argue with Einstein?

You did not take your Grandma-ma or Mother-in-Law there to the store. Plus for added extra convenience you should eat an big onion like you would an apple before you go to that store.

 
And make their day!
 

I prefer a box of Oreos.  not the double stuff, either, cause there's not enough chocolate cookie with those.
