Great Scott!

celtmanx finally got broadband. I mean, he's had it before, but had to get rid of it because his wife told him it was just "too darn fast." Let's put our hands and congratulate him on joining the rest of us into the new millennium.

Concerning my daughter's pirate comment to the gentleman with a prosthesis, I was raised to not ask questions about ones physical or mental defect, or about personal subjects that may be considered rude. On the few times I've broken this rule, it's had noticeable consequences, so I just keep my questions and comments to myself. The reason I bring this up, is I wonder if people think I don't care because I don't ask. Normally, I just assume that if they want to talk about it, they'll bring it up. Which in my case, has happened, sometimes 15-years later. Mostly, the feedback I've rec'd is that I am greatly respected for not having ever mentioned it, but I wonder if others see it as me being cold and uncaring.

Concerning my whirlwind trip to KC and back, there's a certain peace at 85mph that simply cannot be found elsewhere in life. 1.21 jigawatts? 1.21 jigawatts? Great Scott!

Just ordered the following:

Product #   	Description   	   	   	Standard   	Subtotal
HAS12828 	"Scar" Cylon Raider 		        1 		$7.99
HAS12585 	3" Die-Cast Viper Mark VII 		1 		$6.99

Thanks

I've been having lots of Firefox crashes on both XP & OSX since the last update. Shutup

professortom, no, I'm not going to start using Opera because of this. In other news, Since iTunes 7, I've no longer experienced the application importing multiple copies of albums when I select the entire folder.

It feels like Monday.

No, No, I've never considered you as being cold and uncaring as you called me "A ONE ARMED BASTARD".

That was your wife, dude. Not me. Besides, you have both of your arms.

However, women that know me very well tend to think I'm enhanced.

I've always thought that if I ever dressed up as a Star Trek character I would make an excellent Klingon or Borg.

Which is really amusing since you look like Mathasar from Galaxy Quest.

Yeah, but he has two hands and Klingons and especially the Borg don't always have two.

Plus I've got more hair!!!

Opera is love, man. Ive been using it for years.

Amen!

I've been telling Eric for years now that Opera is the only way to go. But the old bastard just won't listen. He'd rather have something that is almost up to par rather then have something that strictly adhears to a standard. Sometimes he can hold a double standard. I swear.

I wish more people around here had that philosophy. I mean, I've never really had much of a problem or anything, but after surgery (which I don't talk about much to begin with- I just say I had it, and I don't say why), people were always asking me why I had a bandage, and I got so sick of it. Also, whenever someone asks "Are you okay?" after you cry, the humiliating situation is trippled.

Long story short, good idea.

Thats why sometimes I say "I'm so hungry I could eat my other hand."
