  1. Well, after a more careful analysis, I noticed two edits Sci-Fi Channel made to "Dalek." The first one is the removal of the scenes where the Doctor shows Van Statten how to use that alien musical instrument when they first meet in the office. My guess is to fit in commercials. The second was the edit we all saw coming. Van Statten's "Goddamn it, talk to me!" became "... Damn it, talk to me!" The canoodling her spoon line was left in!
  2. But, it should be mentioned that a few times, the President has been elected that only received a plurality of the popular vote. Thus, the President won the electoral vote, which he had to have if he ever became President, naturally, but, lost the popular vote. Okay, actually, some of those times the popular voting was so close that it probably isn't really possible to say who won, due to when they occurred, like the 1880's. Which one of those was it that was called the Disputed Election? The one with Hayes? In fact, wasn't Cleveland defeated by a challenger who actually lost the Popular Vote, but, ironically, Cleveland won in the end by becoming the NEXT President after that? And, wasn't the 1960 election also debatable because of weird voting practices in one state? So, it could have been possible that Kennedy lost the popular vote? Still, beats that mayorial election in Ecquador when a foot powder was actually elected.

    http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/7647.cfm "MPAA enlists football legend Pel? in piracy fight 10 June 2006 MPAA enlists football legend Pel? in piracy fight The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has enlisted football legend Pel? to encourage fans to "score a goal against piracy". The footballer and trade group made a Public Service Announcement that will be displayed by networks during the 2006 World Cup. The networks that will show the PSA include ESPNEWS, ESPN Classics, FOX Sports and HBO Ole. The MPAA says Pel? "embodies the notion of fair play and love of the game.'" NAY! My dream team can ne'er come to pass if the Dark Side converts the donor of the DNA I need to conquer the world of football and, tomorrow, golf!
  4. Wow, Ladybird's a name I haven't heard in a while. In fact, I only ever heard of them through their line of Transformers books featuring the Transformers movie characters that I managed to get a few years back.
  5. Oh, yes, that Rip Off Press series! Yeah, definitely in the post Crumb sensibility of indepenent books. Today, though, furry freak used for comics means an entirely different genre to some people... e.g. Genus.
  6. Remember when PC got so fucking awful that PC had to infect the PC? Check your BIOS as Master and Slave no longer exist in most cases, replaced by Primary and Secondary.

    Well, isn't Canada like the ONLY place in the world that cares about curling? I mean, who the Hell curls?
  8. I didn't think anyone would know. Plop was the name of a DC comic series from the middle 1970's. It was much in the vein of the work of Robert Crumb.
  9. I don't like Westerns, and, I liked it. It was also on radio, one of those cases where a different actor took the role on TV. Because a guy with a great voice doesn't necessarily make a leading man, e.g. how William Conrad lost the lead on Gunsmoke. Who wants a short, fat sheriff?

    Yes, ironically enough, he was killed by a bodyguard who just happened to be named... Castro. No, your sick sense of humor is thinking it comes from the came!
  11. Oh, so, now, you're going to try to exchange puns, tit for tat, with me?
  12. Well, don't ALL posts that kevdriver respond to go tits up thanks to that avatar of his?
  13. You know, getting back to The Bee Gees back when there were 4 of them, they actually had some great tracks. When Andy, I think it was, went out on his own, the remaining Gees took up disco and became a joke. Before that, though, they had things like Words, Tomorrow, I Can't See Nobody, and I Started A Joke which had a lot of depth and meaning to them. It's hard to imagine going from "'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living!" to "Stayin' alive! Stayin' alive!"
  14. Let me put it this way. I'd rather read a back issue of Plop!
  15. Yeah, and how George was drawn as just barely taller than Bart and Lisa! And how he was writing long, drawn out speeches about tabling motions to committees. That part where the AT-AT burst in, then sat down and read a newspaper, waiting for its turn in committee.
  16. Yeah, I typoed his name in the Subject. Big deal. He deserves it.
  17. Someone with a gun, please, please, please get the real Slim Shady to please stand up... and shoot that fucker right through the head before can do this!

    No, everyone knows the only sport the Doctor ever interrupts is cricket.

    I will, but, I can ONLY pass it on the left hand side.
  20. Uh... yeah... it will do that... because ImgBurn should only detect the drives on start. It could be written to poll all the time for drives, but, that would be quite intensive, and probably mess up other read and write activities if it did it too often in a short period of time while a drive was in use. Just a guess, though. I would think, though, using Refresh (F5) should detect the drive if you've turned it off after opening ImgBurn? Give that a try. I forget if Refresh does a drive list poll or not. I know it can "free" a drive that may have been "caught" by ImgBurn, but, not always. So, even if it would do a drive list on Refresh, it may not necessarily find it. Thus, it's better to just turn the drive on before ImgBurn starts. So, shut down ImgBurn and then reopen it is probably the best bet.

    was you thinking of those dirty basts called Italy ? , well the "kick the crap out of teams " part anyway. oops my mistake , you didnt mean in a normal game No, my team never wins because they're the non-existent Bolivian Pel?s. Can you imagine it? Some sweet, glorious day, two teams take to the field, thinking they're going for that ultimate prize... when the sanctity of the event is SHATTERED by an army of Pel? clones rushing out onto the field in perfect unison. "Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut!" While everyone on the green is staring in confusion much as I'm sure most of you are now my army of genetically perfect footies ATTACKS! Kicking the crap out of whoever happens to be unlucky enough to have made it to the cup finals, and declares victory by proxy... FOR ME!

    Oh, and, here I had my heart set on this year being the one where a team that did not make the finals would storm the stadium, kick the crap out of the other two teams, and declare victory by proxy.
  23. I thought it was written in ancient Sanskrit, with a dash of Satanese added...
