      I would wait if I were you. I was going to go on opening night as well. A packed theater is not worth it. I'm going to wait until Thursday or possibly mid-day Friday.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - famous marine mammal Keiko was found dead in his fjord this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Oh - and the Norwegian "secret ceremony" involved tartar sauce.

    So your bitching is a great use of a technical forum? In case you didn't RTFA yourself, you would have seen that this is supposed to be a fun Christmas story, not a technical one. Lighten up.

    -1 Offtopic? Dude, where can I get some of what the mods are smoking, because they're either high or not bothering to read the whole post. This was fucking HILARIOUS. Even the most unthinking dittohead should be able to see the humor in it.
