    I wanted to let you know about this service I've found. I have not needed to go to the video store. :/ I have been able to find whatever I have looked for. There's a lot of music and videos, and I have even found video games :( , and it only costs 3.99 a month for all this. If you have a CD burner, you can even burn the movies and share them with your friends :/ they will be able to watch the movies on their CD-Rom drives. :(

    P.S. I paid $9.00 for two sodas last week at the movie theater.

    Never send spam. It is bad.

    You don't get it because you're not a recognized expert in computing.

    Obviously, such an allegorical metaphor is beyond the abilities of your puny pea brain to comprehend it. Karin's godlike ability to predict the future is in no way hampered by his ability to come up with obscure facts from the past.

    In answer to your question stemming from pure ignorance, they didn't have bells that could attach to cars. The technology to attach bells to autos hadn't been invented yet. In fact, when they did invent it, they named it 'bling' after the sound it made when the bell rang. As the car would drive down the street, people would be aware of the car because of its bling.
