I bet Acme didn't pay him a lot for the patent. :)
Cubs win! And no major umpire disputes.
I didn't realized you were such an old-timer. I was only lurking then.

102 on our digital thermometer (it's to the west).
"I bet Acme didn't pay him a lot for the patent. :)"
Acme seems a kinda unscrupulous company, judging by how well their products worked for Wile E.--you'd think he'd try a different supplier eventually. . .
And yet, here I sit in airconditioned comfort having a nice cold RedHook Blonde Ale. :-)
Please don't hate me. :-) [sip]
The LOTR:ROTK Extended Edition Gift Set will include a minature of Minas Tirith, which opens up.
Also included is a bonus DVD of Howard Shore's Creating The Lord of the Rings Symphony
We went out - back now.... It was so cool in the restaurant and in the car, I thought it had cooled off more than it had.
It's 93 :~\
That miniature looks cool!
hehehe... I finally went from a couple of years of lurking to signing up on the day before new years eve... 1999...
I'd had it up to ---><--- here with all of the whacked-out "Y2K" nonsense that I'd been reading, and I signed up to flame some Y2K threads about how *nothing* was going to happen.
Must... own... that...
What the release date for the EE?
I remember New Year's Eve '99... my roommate and I were in a motel room somwhere in Colorado, on our way home to MN from AZ. We were so not worried about it, we hit the hay at about 10 (tired from driving all day).
I had a really wierd evening on the 99 new years eve. I was down at Olympia, at Percival landing on a friend's sailboat... as I recall it was about a 40ft Ericson. The dock was loaded with drunks (yah, go figure) and we all decided to pile onto this guys boat at about 11:30, put up the sails... untied the lines... and *sailed* into the new year out in Budd Inlet. We were proud that we didn't even start the motor. We sailed away and (later) back to the dock.
Curiously enough... *Ramius* was left at the wheel of the boat while the others stumbled around managing sails because he was -- get this-- the most sober of the group. The owner of the boat was in an unconscious state.
It was awesome, now that I reflect on it. :-)
How's "Equilibrium"? I'm in Episode 10 of SP. Is that a nuclear bomb they have?--whoah! That's like in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes". BTW I noticed all the episodes are named after either songs or dances--trying to figure out what that means.
I remember that New Years! That was my first online New Years' party - we had it at 7 because that was midnight Greenwich.
My dad got to spend the six months leading up to Y2K explaining to everyone at church why the world wouldn't end. Being a computer geek, he was believed by maybe half of them...
I forget whether that was a nuke.
Equilibrium was cool! Ending scene involved what I thought was going to be a nice extended katana battle, only it wasn't. Definitely worth watching.
I can't tell if it's a nuke yet--it's got some weird lightshow zigzag thing attached to it.
I'll have to keep an eye out for "Equilibrium". What's it about (non-spoiler version)?
BTW "Bourne Supremacy" wasn't as good as the first movie. It lacked the suspense of the book due to too much action emphasis, which I don't mind when the plot is interesting, but this one didn't work well.
Well, somebody's gotta take the spam opening, but it ain't gonna be me. . .
Aw, heck it won't!
