  1. Ann-Margrock and Rock Quary I think was his name. There was also my favorite, Stoney Curtis! Back when Ann-Margret, etc. played themselves.
  2. DRESS?! IT'S A KILT!
  3. Yeah, it's the default Windows attention, most likely.
  4. He's decided to eliminate the middle man. Bill Clinton is now just advertising for tail cum interns... uh... maybe that wasn't the best way to word it... http://urbanelephants.com/nyc/node/2730 "WILLIAM J. CLINTON FOUNDATION INTERN Intern/Extern Number Date Type Wage 1658340 02/23/2006 Intern/Extern unpaid Start Openings Location Hours 5/31/06 25 New York, NY 30-40 hours per week"
  5. Tatoo it across her forehead!
  6. I should add this to boiler plate text at some point, I suppose. Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Whoopty doo! Whoopty doo! May it be pleasant! Open up your present! Just for you! Just for you!

  8. Someone took the bait!
  9. Stephenson was also Joe Rockhead and, if you remember those episodes, Frankenstone.
  10. I'd forgotten about that! Oh, and let us not forget the mouse mating with the dead one in the trap.
  11. Yeah, I posted before reading the link. I wanted to take a stab at the lawsuits against the person who had no computer.
  12. This Gleason record was in his older days, though. Later 1970's, early 1980's. When he had grown a mustache.
  13. Basically. Two guys stole a prototype robot, intending to hold it for ransom. They piss off the Duke boys when they try to pass them and nearly cause a wreck. This brings Roscoe and Hogg by proxy in when they're all fined, only to discover the robot. The two robbers then wheedle their way out when Hogg is fascinated by the machine and agree to sell it to him as his new security force. When they discover the robot will be protecting the bank, naturally, they program the robot to steal the money and plan on framing the fired Roscoe and the Duke boys for the actual theft while they run off with the cash. The script is so bad it even has a mathematical error in it! They planned on ransoming the robot for $2 million, but, when they succeed in getting the $325,000 from the bank, they make this idiotic statement: "What about the robot?" "Just leave it! We have twice what we'd get for him here in this bag!" $650,000 is hardly twice times 2 million. Interestingly enough, the robot was played by Bob Shields, aka Robert Shields, the mime of the famous married duo of Shields And Yarnell.
  14. Let's see, if memory serves me correctly, the following "brands" worked for me with the 500a: Optodisc 2x DVD-RW Optodisc 4x DVD-RW HP DVD+RW Maxell DVD+RW Maxell DVD-RW As for the Manufacturer ID's on the discs, like I can remember.
  15. Well, did this grandma HAVE a PC this time?
  16. No, Horace Ott. (Horace Ott was part of the musicians who composed and played for the Village People. )
  17. It was said it was going to be released on DVD after TV Land aired it. I taped it when TV Land aired it. (In fact, the Honeymooners entry for this episode on TV.com is mine from TVTome.com. ) MPI had intended to include this episode in a new, repackaged "Lost Episodes" DVD boxed set sometime last year or this. Funny, I was in a used records, etc. store on Thursday and the one thing I immediately noticed on the wall was a record released by Jackie Gleason. Also, remember, that there is an existing episode already called The Love Letter, remade 2 years after the original version.
  18. Speaking of Dukes, I actually taped today's episode! I wasn't a huge fan of the show. I mostly only watched it because the other kids were, but, grew tired of it pretty quick. My mother did give me the Dukes watch, though, and I had an Ertl model of Daisy's truck. Oh, and who remembers the Dukes Of Hazzard cartoon? Anyway, I needed today's episode because it was such an outlandishly stupid one, even by Dukes' standards: Boss Hogg replaces Roscoe with a robot!
  19. Actually, I have tested Version 2003. I got like 3 or 4 copies of it on a disc with various DVD burners. I didn't see anything different enough to make me switch over from what worked for me. That and it was a Symantec product, so, if I don't need it, I'm not going to switch over to one of their products. And, eventually, I'll ween myself off the ones I do use.
  20. I, too, like the fact that you can run the Verify separately.

    A Riddle

    I can do it without even going up the stairs at all. Use a phone, call a friend and tell him which switch you're turning on and ask him to check the bulbs.
  22. Version 9 was terribly buggy out of the gate. Basically, they released a beta to the public and made them unsuspecting beta testers who paid to do their job for them. Version 9 is now, at least, usable, but, still has errors that should have been caught before it went gold.

    another riddle

    The third word has to be antidisestablishmentarianism.
  24. We could stop all the hate if we just do as I said and use the money to fight terrorism and buy everyone in the world 72 virgins. Starting with me.
  25. SIGHTING UPDATE! He was last seen Going West!
