  1. Having worked with an older set up at my last job, what I really hated was formatting code in specific columns. If you didn't place the $ in the right column, etc. ERROR!
  2. #9 appeared on Jay Leno's Headlines.
  3. #13: I'm male.
  4. I think it's pie made from clams...

    I feel I could make perfect sense! "My fellow wombats, I beg your attention! Lend me your water wings! Tweety has told me the secret! THE SECRET OF THE CORN! He told it to me in the parts of a broken optical drive I had lying around. And that secret lies in pie and chips! PIE AND CHIPS! Thank ye."

    Yes, it is. Originally, soap was shipped in large wooden boxes, very similar to apple crates. If people wanted to be heard, they would often stand up on overturned soap boxes to rise above the heads of the crowd and get attention.
  7. If I may be selfish for a change, er, for the moment I think I will adapt my normal birthday greetings to fit me. Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Whoopty dee! Whoopty dee! May it be pleasant! I'll open up my present! Just for me! Just for me!

    Hyde Park sounds right. I believe it's where Al Bundy went when the Bundies went to England on Married With Children. Looked it up. It is Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park.
  9. Well, I would like an NEC that supports DVD-R DL if they make them. Have had the tooth removed. A surprising 3 shots of novocaine were used. So, the most painful part will probably be the wearing off the anesthesia. Right now, it's just hard to swallow my own saliva!
  10. God bless us all... for once!
  11. I could put my to be extracted tooth under my pillow tonight... and wake up to find TWO teeth underneath!

    .TXTDT file?

    Found a new file in the root of a DVD movie disc. It had the extension of TXTDT. TXT makes me think text so is it some kind of file that contains title info, etc. for specific player functions? I loaded the file and it is plain text containing this: DVD_TEXT_DATA Version = 1.0 TEXT_DATA_ID = "" Num_Lang_Units = 1 [unit.1] Language = English Character_Set = ISO_646 $ Volume @ name YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THIS! @ sorting you don't need to know this! $ Title #1 @ name Title 1 @ sorting title 1 $ Title #2 @ name Title 2 @ sorting title 2 $ Title #3 @ name Title 3 @ sorting title 3 $ Title #4 @ name Title 4 @ sorting title 4 $ Title #5 @ name Title 5 @ sorting title 5 $ Title #6 @ name Title 6 @ sorting title 6 $ Title #7 @ name Title 7 @ sorting title 7 $ Title #8 @ name Title 8 @ sorting title 8 $ Title #9 @ name Title 9 @ sorting title 9 $ Title #10 @ name Title 10 @ sorting title 10 $ Title #11 @ name Title 11 @ sorting title 11 $ Title #12 @ name Title 12 @ sorting title 12 $ Title #13 @ name Title 13 @ sorting title 13 DT = DVD_TEXT? If so, what is DVD_TEXT? Again, I'd say it's some kind of info to display on a player's LED screen? Or, TXTDT might mean TEXT DATA? What's with all that weird @ sorting stuff? Anyone know?
  13. Hong Kong Phooey's #1 Super Chop might be a cheap alternative to anesthetic. I've often wondered if you can get cheaper alternatives based on what you're willing to pay. For instance, medium level would be a shot of whiskey, like what your barber used to give you before yanking a tooth. Down to the bottom of the barrel: a Three Stooges' slap just before the procedure.

    Well, I figured I'd take this chance to step up on the soap box again. (What's that place in London, I think, where people just stand up and shout their grievances to the crowd? No, not Parliament! ) Especially in light of the recent Supreme Court judge nomination hearing, I would like to ask a question to those on both sides of the issue... WHEN, tell me fucking WHEN, did the procedure of running the government of the United States Of America EVER hinge on whether a woman can get an abortion or not?! Seems to me that there are more important things like providing the common defense and promote the general welfare. Or even things like providing a BUDGET or stupid, little things like preventing radicals from smuggling atomic bombs into the country?! Maybe I'm just stupid, but, it seems there are things more important to running a country than making sure your party wins a particular issue or if your particular agenda, personal or party, wins. Steps down, misses the mark, and falls right into the hands of weird men dressed in black with earphones in their ears.
  15. All I have to say is... EEEEEEEW!
  16. Your wife probably does have more holes than you do.
  17. Oh, now I get it! Pie and chips, meaning savory pies and not sweet pies. It makes sense to get chips with something like chicken pot pie.
  18. I appreciate the heartfelt feeling, Shamus! I feel all warm about it! In fact, I must be, because, there's a friend standing next to me. Keeps mumbling something about sacrificial wombats. And, of course, as is want with my life, for me, my birthday is still half a day away... but, how will I be celebrating it? Well, I'm having to have a wisdom tooth taken out before it was scheduled today.

    You know? There's just a problem with government in general. Anywhere. Why? Because the minority can end up ruling the majority in a so called democratic process. But, it doesn't surprise me. The minority have always ruled the majority. Usually it's a minority in power or in wealth, e.g. those with the power and the wealth, who will always rule over everyone else.
  20. Now, I just want to be sure here. Pie. Here in the States, pie is a dessert. Made with chocolate, fruit, etc. contained on a crust, often times topped with icing, pudding, or cream. Or creme. Is this the same kind of pie we are discussing?
  21. Okay, the latest Geico ad has their Gecko, with yet ANOTHER new voice, one Australian now, talking about the joys of free pie and chips. What the hell are chips in this case? Last I checked, chips were: 1.) in America, potato chips, aka crisps 2.) what we in America call French Fries But, who would give any potato products free with pie? UNLESS... there's a strange euphemism for pie I'm not aware of?

    WARNING

    I think the only scam here is delusion.
  24. Okay...
  25. This is about the 4th time I've received this same piece of spam/virus: "From: "Jmanfredi" <jmanfredi@monmouth.net> Subject: Re: Norman Virus Control has deleted the original email because it contained the virus Bagle.AH@mm" It's always the same! From the same e-mail address, the same "virus" and the same Norman Virus Control. Now, were I not already aware of a Norman AntiVirus, I'd be suspicious... in fact, I am suspicious of where Norman AV got its name from.
