Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend. Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards? Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards. Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse? Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat. Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas! Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
I tried that system once, ordering from Wings Over Storrs...after an hour they still hadn't called to confirm.
A good old-fashioned phone call revealed that the orders are actually faxed to the restaurant...whether anyone checks the machine is all a matter of luck.
Although I try to use the Net whenever possible, I like to make damn sure I get my wings;)
I'd hope they use a higher quality paper than the photocopy stuff.
Go pick up a sheet now and compare it to the paper in a book - I might just be hopelessly anal, but I think a better grade paper makes for a better product overall, especially since some of these books might have color pictures in them:)
Nice post. Definitely insightful. However, don't bash Weezer just because they happened to come out with a new album at the same time you decided to post. Here's a band that came out a long time ago (given the anemic half-life of bands nowadays, I think the early 90's qualifies as "a long time ago") and has maintained a huge underground following. If you tried listening to one of their CD's (I recommend their first, the Blue Album), you would notice that their style is markedly different from the generic "alterna-rock" tripe the labels have concocted for you (see Blink 182).
What you've described is exactly what my friend did. I'm graduating from college this May. A buddy of mine from HS enrolled at the same time I did, so he'd be getting out too - if he hadn't dropped out to work for EA. This kid skipped class almost all the time, drank like a fish, and thought having a "3.0" meant your car wasnt as good as the Mustang 5.0.
But although he wasn't a great student, he WAS a great level designer - he spent all his spare time playing Quake and Quake 2 and making levels for them. I thought it was the biggest waste of time until sophomore year, when he told me he was packing his bags and moving to sunny Cali. His starting offer two years ago was higher than mine is now. So you never know...life is funny like that.

They were trying to renew the domain, but IE kept crashing :D
He went from from silicon to silicone :)

How do they taste?
I don't know about you, but I see trolls all the damn time :)
What are you programmed in?
--Java.
I know Java.
--How do you know? Die neueste Version von Java bekommst Du bei java.sun.com.
:D
Very true...add to that money gained via merchandising.
Doesn't bode well for the future quality of music, though. :\
nice troll though.
I hope not, 'cause there's no way anyone would believe a gas station worker wrote that.
Just imagine if the dude pumping your gas started spouting off stuff about the American Capitalist System and Excel macros :)
Thanks for the info :)
Did I miss something? Why are all the posts numbering into the millions?

um...no...the letters aren't reversed, dumbass
Teach them COBOL first. Then threaten them with a lifetime of doing that, if they don't learn Java/C++ well enough.
:)
Can't give any more motivation than that
ah, Weird Al's "UHF". Underappreciated in its age, like many works of genius :)
