Well, isn't Canada like the ONLY place in the world that cares about curling? I mean, who the Hell curls?

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.

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!

Areola bunch of horny punsters?

I feel like such a boob!

Oh, so, now, you're going to try to exchange puns, tit for tat, with me?

Well, don't ALL posts that kevdriver respond to go tits up thanks to that avatar of his?

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!"

Let me put it this way. I'd rather read a back issue of Plop!

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.

Yeah, I typoed his name in the Subject. Big deal. He deserves it.

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.

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.

I thought it was written in ancient Sanskrit, with a dash of Satanese added...

He probably can't reply right now. He's in Lock Down Mode: locked down, in front of the telly, with the cooler, transfixed to the World Cup, hoping that his team will just fuck the rules, storm the stadium, kick the crap out of both teams, and declare victory by proxy.

My question is... why does ANYONE care? I am reminded of a sketch from Saturday Night Live ripping into the Chicago Bears for their idiotic rap video: "We play with ball! We kick the ball!" And, that's ALL BOTH football and soccer are.

I think it was 1919 when American Indians serving in the armed forces were granted American citizenship across the board, thus, they could vote since they were "legalized" citizens. But, I'm only going from memory, and, history and politics aren't my strongest suits.

Oh, they still make that strange jelly substance contained in a plastic cage? I can remember how it creeped me out as a kid!

It's because we DON'T! America is a representative oligarchy. It sounds better to placate the people with the term Democracy, though. In fact, if you examine the Constitution, etc. closely, it pretty much quite clearly spells out the general populace is too stupid to run itself and cannot be trusted to do so. Thus, the idea of electing people charged to speak for the concensus of the group was established. Which is a good idea, but, as always, lousy in execution, because it's easier to buy 1 person than it is to buy the vote of every voter. Plus, even at the start, it was never really a Democracy, because, not everyone could vote. If you were black, poor, or a woman, you didn't get a say in the goings on where you lived. I mean, good god, it wasn't until 1920 century when a woman could "legally" vote!
