No, Linzeal's not kidding, and no, these aren't cooking knives. I've seen the same "show" myself more than once. There's usually a host (redneck-y or bombastic, flip a coin) and sometimes a sidekick.
They put up these ludicrous packages of 100 pocketknives or 15 "swords" or what have you. I guess they're trying to appeal to people who think they can resell these at a flea market or something. All for just 2 Flex-Pays of $29.99!
I've been tempted to purchase one of their better-looking katanas but I know they aren't REALLY Japanese... Oh well!

Except maybe in Europe. And some other places, too. I know when I was in London I noticed that collective nouns were treated as plural: IBM have released... and so on.
Same's true if you watch enough Britcoms or other British imports (damn do they make good crime dramas!).
My 2 cents...
GTRacer

Actually, I like most of their food. I was just ripping on them a little because their employees suck. No smoking means no smoking for everybody, dammit! That and they tend to be less than helpful late at night except at the bigger restaurants...
If I want to go *REALLY* old-school, I can dust off my NES, C64, Apple ][, or ColecoVision. And my wife thinks she might have an Atari 2600 stored somewhere.
What the hell is "blearg"? Is that like the sound Arthur makes after trying the tea made especially for him by the Nutrimatic machine?
...you must have had a PS1, so why not just play that.
A) I still have my PSX, but it's now in my kid's room, with his collection of about 10 games. He loves it.
B) I like to get the occasional old-school fix on with games like Vagrant Story, Front Mission 3, Dance Dance Revolution, and Gran Turismo.
C) Some games really do look better on the PS2 (Vagrant Story, Jarrett & Labonte, etc...) and the faster disc loading is a blessing on some games.
D) I bought my PSX for Gran Turismo. I bought my PS2 for Gran Turismo 3. Getting backwards compatibility was just a plus. Now if they'd get rid of these territory lockouts, I could sell my Japanese PS2 (bought for GT Concept)
I know why airlines do it, but from a customer standpoint, every time I've been bumped I want to know just how the hell the airline can sell more tickets than they have seats.
I'm pretty sure they know just how many seats are on that 747-300 and how many crew they're taking along.
Greedy bastards! Mr. Garrison was right!

Funny, I asked around a year or so ago on this very topic. Why? Well, first off, I have a silent keyboard. You know what I mean, a non-clicker...
Secondly, I wanted a no-click mouse so that repeated clicks on record nav or field property buttons wouldn't be confused by my co-workers as me playing FreeCell.
Yeah, that's it!

B: (A) excluded, you STILL deserve mod points for getting the spellings of 'Wookiee' and 'Kashyyyk' right. Self-proclaimed Star Wars freaks who keep blowing 'Wookiee' get on my nerves...
GTRacer
- Yes, I do have better things to do, and No, I don't care
...the solutions suggested by the scientists don't involve Tea Leoni or Bruce Willis.
You know damn well at some point, there WAS a solution involving Ms. Leoni and Mr. Willis: Launch them now at the asteroid with sufficient velocity to alter its course by the fraction of a degree needed.
The beauty of this plan is that it's cheap (no fancy-pants ships or suits needed), humanity benefits, and with luck, they'll keep Aerosmith on standby in case they need more mass...

That depends on what your definition of "is" is.

GTRacer

I don't know if this is authoritative, but it was the first relevant Google hit and my boss is bugging me for a report.
I would have bet on 'toe' anyway because of the connotation of staying in rigid (con)formation. FWIW, YMMV IMNSHO.

You can't find non-clickers where you live? Best Buy? Circuit City? Rat Shack?

I was still cool at this point. Heck, I even like Celine, in small doses. BUT:
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I have to draw the line at Celine AND the B-52s. Sorry.
P.S. 12 gigs of ripped-off music? Damn!
