warm as anyone from California? You mean cold as ice,I assume...
I've generally found EVERYONE from other places I've visited to be nicer than my compatriots in California. And yes, I grew up in California as well.
I've never understood the rhyming slang, it just seems, well, one step too removed.
I had a Brit friend once try to get Seppo to stick, I ended up calling myself Zeppo.
I've gotta say, it's interesting reading the replies knowing the person who wrote the article is reading as well.
Don't sweat the bad comments: talk is cheap. How many would put THEIR silly mistakes out for all to see?
The batteries weren't banned: Customs in Korea just wanted some batteries.
I had a customs agent demand my bag of cookies there once, and threatened to confiscate all my toiletries if I didn't "comply".
I recently bought an emachines, celeron 2.6, for roughly US$ 350 and have had nothing but good results with it. It replaced a hand shopped system that had nothing but trouble from multiple, highly rated parts happening to be bad.
I've heard they used to be terrible, and I was expecting problems, but nothing at all has turned up so far.
I CANNOT tell you how many times I've had to lug my annoying cell phone to lunch in my pocket because the restaurant I'm going to doesn't have a clock on the wall and I've left my watch at home. Invariably, I end up cheating myself out of ten minutes of lunch time goodness I guess I could be the creepy constantly asking the fellow eating next to me, "hey, do you have the time ?" two or three times an hour.
If I remember correctly, it was Tommy Franks who said it, and he was warning about losing our consititution if a WMD even led us silly people to abandon the constitution for security.
not advocating, but warning against.
I second that. I used to print everything, and recently started using cursive again, cause my hands hurt after printing a page. it's roughly twice as fast for me.
Drive car A. Siphon gas from Car A to car B. Refill Car B at station.
Repeat.
or
Fill Car A, the gas truck, with enormous quantities of fuel.
Sell fuel to cars B, C, D, and E Two Blocks away at your house.
Repeat.
This is just silly.
What scares me is that somewhere, someone with a bit of power actually thinks their "hunch" is a crystal ball and that they really DO know what is coming.
And acts accordingly.
We once used a similar system to remove a fellow student from my University. Automated call informaing him he had been "dropped due to poor performance." I believe it was an old apple with a "talking moose" program.
He actually stopped going to school until we let him in on the joke..
Good Lord!
I STILL use my HP deskjet 500.
clean the rollers, wet down the cork strip every so often, I must have taken it apart ten times for general cleaning. I bought it used from a guy who bought it used form the first owner, and it still works perfectly.
I consider it the hopelessly overbuilt pinnacle of printer success!

That DISCLIAMER reads, vaguely, like someone saying "Many of my friends are black, but..."
Six Flags Magic Mountain is only ever called "Magic Mountain". I've never heard it referred to as six flags. ever.

What are you talking about, Sycamore Plaza ROXXX!
You seem to have a lot of "enemies".

I've used "Eaton Mheet " for years on my PETA registration. They send me a nickel every other month!

As opposed to no-brutally shooting someone in the head?

I'm not sure I'd want to list Courtney Love as a backup for ANY argument I was making. That woman's a few pounds shy of a load.

So my 170,000 mile acura and my friend's 300,000 mile twin which both perform flawlessly are figments of the imagination?
I was in Japan at the time. If I remember correctly, workers were mixing radioactive material in BUCKETS and accidentally started a reaction.
Actually, I've got one, and for some weird reason, they're not as fun as they look. but DAMN, those pellets sting!
I second that.

Forgive him Lord, for he knows not what he does...

Even worse, one executive here had an 8 by 10 of herself as her DESKTOP BACKGROUND. A close up of her face, no less.

It's like the monster in a horror movie. It just keeps coming back from the dead.
