Happy Birthday and don't be such a stranger 'round here!

I'd rather try that than the Thanksgiving-themed Jones Soda offerings.

A movie starring those two morons would probably make my head explode.

I hate Rolling Stone, but I have considerable respect for David Fricke as a music journalist. Newbie has made a whole series of assumptions about the man that I'm betting aren't true.

I'm so out of it that I had no idea what all that was about until this thread. Which means I was really confused by the issue of the New Yorker I was reading the other day, in which about half of all the ads were (RED)-related.

Gracias.

Yup.

The terrorists have won.

So they finally made you assistant to the regional manager? Wait ... is it an office, or a "workspace"?

Analogman will probably be along shortly to provide a link to the site that explains port forwarding. Was your issue that you weren't "clever"? That's what port forwarding will fix. I don't know what your re-registering options are. I have no idea how Oink tracks that kind of thing.

You too!

I repeatedly violated NCAA rules when I was in college. I sat out my senior year due to accumulated major rules violations. Well ... that, and not being a member of any actual team.

You're on crack. Go find yourself a tandy.

I was way behind schedule this morning, or this never would have happened (because I never would have gone to this horrible place). Just One More Reason I Don't Eat Fast Food Any More ME: Excuse me... McDONALD'S EMPLOYEE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME: ... ME: Hello? McD E: ...? ME: Um, hi. McD E: Yeeesss? ME: I just went through the drive-through a few minutes ago and I didn't get the hash brown with the meal I ordered. McD E: One moment, sir. ME: Can you just grab me a hash brown?

He didn't really deserve that epithet back then, and given who's been in the White House the last five and a half years, he certainly doesn't deserve it now.

Any chance the laptop's still under warranty? When my laptop was delivered (back in December of '02), the Insert key was broken. I called Dell and asked them what I needed to do to repair it. They said it couldn't be repaired -- the whole keyboard needed to be replaced -- and they sent me a special Airborne Express box that fit my laptop (it arrived within 24 hours), which then was used to whisk it away to their Tennessee repair facility and back (within 48 hours). It was quite frustrating to have my new computer arrive and then have to pack it up right away and send it back, but I was reall

It's just as ridiculous as Bush having been nominated for the same prize ... what was it, last year?

Planning a vacation?

I am eating a banana like this. Edit: No, not like that.

I want to know how that dude makes his crack appear and disappear at will.

My sixth-grade teacher paddled kids. I can't say I approved. And I wasn't ever paddled myself. I was spanked, but only rarely, by my parents, and I think it probably helped. They were smart and reserved spankings only for when I'd really fucked up, and they always announced it was going to happen first (making the anticipation worse than the actual blows), then explained to me why I was being spanked and what I needed to do to avoid a spanking for a similar transgression in the future. If spankings are handled sensibly like that, I think they're probably an effective means of discipline.

I am supposed to be working a whole lot harder than I am.

You were posting to VC from a Taco Bell? Isn't that how viruses propagate?
