While distributing tracks pulled from scratchy records may not seem like a great idea, I have a number of vinyl LP's that would be difficult, if not impossible, to get on CD. So, yes, I'll MP3 those albums, much like I used to tape 'em on cassettes, so I can listen in the car and at home without doing any more damage to the original. And it beats the crap out of the tape, I tell you what.

Becaues, it's the gut feeling of geeks everywhere that traditional broadcast media (time warner) should not be able to purchase one of their largest competitors, simply because it will narrow consumer choice.
Of course you realize that it is not TW buying out AOL, but vice-versa?
PR! Exactly! That's also what separates this protest from a couple of dozen others that have taken place in the American streets since the '60s.
This is being taken seriously!
I was one of a few folks who protested the Gulf War on my college campus. We managed to gather from the media that we were not alone, but all the news stories implied that we were hippie wannabes instead of real people with real issues.
While some of that condescension is going on now, there's also real coverage going on. The president actually has something to say about the matter! This is progress, people. Maybe this country is not as emotionally dead as I'd feared.
Nazi is a truncation, not an acronym. The original German word for the National Socialist Party is Nationalsozialist. An acronym must come from more than one word.
I'd also throw in Film Threat for independent movies, with a caveat. These guys are, as a rule, downright hostile to anything with actual financial support. But you will learn about some excellent stuff!
That's a hell of a long video. Approx. when are the AIBOs playing? I keep seeing bots that look like miniature Zambonis. I mean, they're cute and all...
Some humor works based on premise, and you can describe the general idea to someone, and they'll snicker or not, depending on how well you told it. Python has great comic ideas, sure, but it has that quotability thing going on. People tend to remember the exact words used in a particular sketch/movie. That doesn't happen very often in comedy. Lessee: Far Side (Bummer of a birthmark, Hal...), Raising Arizona (Son, you got a panty on yore hed.) There are more, I know, but I'm lazy today.
In the Live at the Hollywood Bowl movie, the Pythons were rightly stunned at hearing their jokes recited along with the routine, like singing along at a rock concert. Even better, after the line was recited, everybody would crack up as though hearing it for the first time.
Weird and interesting stuff. Wish I could bottle it for use in my writing...
>>It's just these types of people that are, sadly, the majority of Christians, giving the religion as a whole a bad name.
I wouldn't even say that they are the majority of Christians. I haven't seen anything to prove that. They just happen to be the loudest and most often displayed in the media.

I thought this was strictly Mr. Burns' line, then Lisa did it last week! Laughed so hard I broke all my furniture.

Yeah, it's picky and offtopic. Big deal.
Lake Placid = David E. Kelley's funny giant crocodile movie. Funny, funny. Ha.

The man you want is Pickens! Slim Pickens! Of course, Slim Whitman's probably been known to say "Waaahoooo!" on a few occasions as well...
I second that emotion. This is _not_ a troll post!
