Competive cooking? No I have never seen it!

It's kind of goofy, but the wife and I like it. It's on Food Network right now, actually this episode is almost over, but they replay it at midnight Central time. They also show different episodes on Saturday and Sunday nights.

It's kind of like cooking with a samurai attitude... or maybe a wrestling attitude, I'm not sure...

Sounds hot to go to Vegas in August.

I said that to an organizer, he said that everybody is going to stay inside all the time.

First check the printer manufacturer's website for updated drivers. Even if they do not have newer ones available, I would start by downloading and reinstalling them. If that does not fix it, there is more troubleshooting information here. These errors can be nasty. I had one at work once and the IT guy had reinstall some of the system components to get it working again. Good luck.

I just ran across a freeper (for a year) named inkling, who has a motto 'Making the world safe for faith, politics and rock'n'roll.' on his homepage. Maybe he could be invited to the Green Dragon via freepmail?

Anyone else enjoy Iron Chef?

Yes. Used to watch it quite a bit until I got tired of the reruns.

Thanks. Tried all of that and ended up emailing tech support at the manufacturer. I can print from Word so if I must have something from the web before I get it fixed I can at least copy and paste. I had this problem once before and thought it went away when I got rid of AOL. Appreciate the help.

"'Making the world safe for faith, politics and rock'n'roll.'"

That irreverent slogan he has is cute...I wonder if "inkling" is actually a reference to "our" Inklings...you'd think it must be...

I'm having trouble getting near the computer these days with both kids home from college...I'm going to have to figure a way to get my office computer on high speed service so I can continue feeding my addiction to FR and this thread...

I notice I have several hundred posts to read now to get caught up, seems like we're really racing along.

"Getting them to all want to do the same thing is impossible. Like herding cats! "

'Course that's the basis of Leftist philosophy...so very nice that JRRT saw through it, esp at the time when it was making its great expansion.

I'm kind of stunned at the number of posts in just a day or two.

Maybe # 10,000 is like a black hole, exerting an overwhelming pull, sucking geometrically increasing numbers of posts...I'm gonna get my hard hat...

Yeah... Give us something to talk about and we can chatter with reckless abandon! Even if the only topic is how much we are chattering!

Penny and I are getting together today to watch FoTR... It has been a really long time since I saw it in the theater. It is at a cheesy theater halfway between us, so we are gonna give it a shot! Will be fun!

I was just over looking for news at TORN a bit ago. They have a headline about FoTR reader reviews. I clicked on the one they indicated was the LONGEST review received (don't ask me why). The guy is not only long winded, but he ticked me off. He didn't like Elijah Wood... Thinks he is only "adequately expressive" or something like that. Gong! Thank you for playing!

"...all that sneaking!"

Yeah, that sneaking is about to cross the blue event horizon, that's why I'm looking aroung the garage for my hard hat.

I'm going out in a minute, so am afraid I'll miss it.

If you read through that "Jim, Fire your moderators" thread... there was brief mention by outsiders of getting the 10,000 post on this thread. It may not just be us that want the prize. We may have visitors. We should make sure the place looks nice if they come.

"He didn't like Elijah Wood... "

One of my original worries before seeing the movie was the casting. But that turned into one of my main joys, since everyone was perfectly cast (even Galadriel :->). Every time you want to say how perfect one was, such as Pippin, you think of another, like Wood as Frodo. A wrong Frodo would have pretty well screwed up the movie...luckily Wood is great.

But am a little unsure about the guy they've cast as Theoden...I suppose I'll end up liking him anyway...
