THANKS Nomad !!
I will take a look at New Egg.
The “Firewire” thing is kind of the sticking point. Were it not for that I could probably have just purchased one of the three (they now only carry 3 ?) enclosures that my local Best Buy has to offer. I do a lot of video stuff though so I do actually use the Firewire connection.
As to the 2.5?/3.5?/5.25? thing … is that the physical length of the hard drive itself?

jJ: That is the side-to-side of the drive. Give me a couple of minutes and I can double check that those numbers are the reality numbers. (Unlike lumber, where a 2×4 is not 2 inches by 4 inches. Which always screws me up when I build a table or desk or … )

Okay, the drive I am holding now is a 3.5″ IDE HDD, but it actually MEASURES 4″ across and roughly 5 3/4″ long.
Yesterday you said, “Physically speaking – the drive measures about 1?x4?x5.75? (Model # ST3500630A)”
And if I weren’t a flaming idjit, I’d have simply found the information about the model. *smacks forehead*
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148135
So it is a 3.5″ IDE HDD according to spec and according to the measurements you made.

October 15th, 2009 at 4:33 am
So according to Jack, there’s too much innuendo in the world. Let’s see how far we can get on the DP board without descending into dirty thoughts ;)

I got complimented on my Luther Wright and the Wrongs “Rebuild the Wall” button on my jacket. Made me realize the button itself is from almost nine years ago. And the jacket from longer ago. Some of my coats are old enough to be entering puberty.

Darcy’s show is almost up, then we’ll have a bunch of time with both of us in the house in the evenings.
A good thing too, I have to record audio for QN, Geek by Night, and a certain Mr. Shaurette…

So when are your coats going to start dating, JB?
October 15th, 2009 at 5:37 am
Yeah, I do note that Five Iron Frenzy wrote it as “mooses,” and I know for a fact you do have them there.
Though everyone knows it’s “meese.”

Just watched “Adventureland” which I got from Netflix. I guess it was set in 1987 because the writer wrote it as a somewhat autobiographical tale. It comes off as an excuse for the soundtrack however, as at no point does it seem particularly necessary to be set at any specific time period.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:37 am
Sorry, was I supposed to have a double entendre in that mini review?
October 15th, 2009 at 6:44 am
… and I’m back!
I got called away by something unimportant. What’d I miss?
October 15th, 2009 at 6:48 am
You missed a bunch of strapping young men jumping about in the woods for no reason other than to burn off some of that masculine energy.
In other words, we made dick jokes. It was fun.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Morning, Pan.
Still waking up.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:53 am
Jack: The announcement from E. Rich was silence around the 4:00 minute mark. Was there a glitch?
October 15th, 2009 at 6:54 am
More mini review…
I thought Kristen Stewart performed well as the female lead Em, she was captivating in a fairly minor role in “Into the Wild” a couple years ago and I liked seeing more of her. Here’s hoping she puts her sparkly vampire cash in the bank so she can do more indie work in the future.
Jesse Eisenberg I can’t compliment as highly in his role as James. I am unfamiliar with any work he’s done previously, so I don’t know if the way he played James was his own choice or how he was directed. If the former, Eisenberg needs to be told we already have one Michael Cera, if the latter then Greg Mottola (the aforementioned writer and director) needs to just cast Cera next time…
October 15th, 2009 at 6:54 am
Am I the only one who licks the side of his mouth every time I hear Joker say, “Why so serious?”
October 15th, 2009 at 6:55 am
Wait, I missed jumping men? Damn!
Of course, we’re just proving Jack’s point about innuendo
October 15th, 2009 at 6:59 am
JB: Don’t make me Yak. ;)
Fun song.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:00 am
Sorry, you cannot -say- innuendo with my mind going… there.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:01 am
I’m feeling mighty… shifty.
*swooosh*
October 15th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Okay, one last bit of review…
Ryan Reynolds was very good as Connell, I enjoyed seeing him play straight drama. I thinl he should do well as Green Lantern, assuming they make a good film of it.
I also enjoyed Wendy Malick as James’ mom. I like her as a character actress and she had plenty of good screen time.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:04 am
In whose end-o?
October 15th, 2009 at 7:04 am
I want more Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King.
Listening to myself talking about Dollhouse Epitaph One and I hit the desk to emphasize my point. So now I am laughing at myself for being emphatic.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:07 am
That’s ok, Scry… we laugh at you too

Can’t read or listen just yet, but have show on my ipod. Heading out to apply for a job today. I also have an interview on Monday. Woo hoo!
Also taking Gram for more blood work this afternoon.
I’ll catch up next free minute I have!
October 15th, 2009 at 7:22 am
Can’t I do both?
October 15th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Best of luck on all things you’re doing today Cj. I have my fingers crossed for both the work and Gram thing.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:24 am

Here’s hoping the kid accidentally let the balloon get away and on seeing the commotion it has caused … he is hiding under the porch. This is not unheard of with kids.
Sadly ALSO not unheard of … is the older brothers talking the youngest kid into doing something really stupid (Hey Timmy – Jump out the window with this umbrella as a parachute, … wear this belt made of meat and run through the yard that has the pit bull, … climb into the battery box on the weather balloon and let us hover you over the house.)
:(
October 15th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Agreed, J0e.
Amy, other writers, are you playing along with Neil Gaiman’s latest collaborative meme?: http://www.bbcaudiobooksamerica.com/TradeHome/Blog/tabid/58/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/110/Twitter-an-Audio-Story-with-Neil-Gaiman.aspx

Morning Pan!
It’s a beautiful morning. The sun is shining. Birds are singing. Have my first load of laundry in already. Finished my main work…
October 16th, 2009 at 6:15 am
The only downside is I went to strip the guest bed and grab the towels in the washroom for cleaning and I discovered Mom broke the blinds covering the window in the guest washroom and neglected to mention it to us. Nice.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:17 am
Yeah, EssBee! Who’s up for the February Olympics? The US/Canada match, whether it’s a medal round or not?
Same stakes? Or does anybody have a better idea?

It has been gray and rainy here for most of the week. Blech.

Could be worse, it could be snowing. Although it’s supposed to reach 15C. today so the snow will all be gone by this afternoon.

October 16th, 2009 at 7:20 am
Yeah, but with the dollar close to par, you won’t get quite the US value that you used to even a couple of months ago. Good for us Canadians visiting the US, not so much going the other way
October 16th, 2009 at 7:22 am

Here’s one of the things that angers me the most about health care here in the US: that you can be completely denied health care solely because you have a preexisting condition. It is incredibly wrong. And here is a great case of that injustice:
http://www.thealivattermatter.blogspot.com/
October 16th, 2009 at 7:27 am
Van: Sorry about that. I didn’t get that warning, but then I’ve got scripts and a ton of other stuff disabled in my browser. Was it from the LJ site?
October 16th, 2009 at 7:28 am
Van: Hope you enjoy the film. It looks interesting.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:28 am
I really should get back to what I’m supposed to be doing.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:29 am
That’s like that four month old baby that weight 17lbs so was denied coverage because being overweight is a pre-existing condition that’s been on all the news channels lately.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:29 am
Me too. I’m off to Canadian Tire, then the grocery store.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:30 am
ditto it’s a site linked to on the webpage you posted.

I read an interesting article about healthcare yesterday. We need health CARE for all in the U.S., not health INSURANCE for all.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:27 am
I haven’t read the board yet. I have a brief internet connection at a local establishment. I have a return interview today at 11am and then another interview for a different job on Monday.
I expect to have a job offer or two before mid-next-week.
My internet at home should be back up before tonight and I’ll catch up.
I miss all of you and those of you scooting off to your weekends already, make them amazing! xoxox

Hey Lady J, your comment is freed from moderation! I clicked play in my browser and the episode started. If that keeps failing for you, I’d recommend clicking the “download” link and playing the .mp3 file right on your computer.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:42 am
Fingers crossed for your job offer, Cj!
October 16th, 2009 at 8:50 am
I never understood why health insurance meant covering everything no madder how small. You don’t have car insurance to cover an oil change.
If I go to the dentist or chiropractor and tell them I don’t want to run it through insurance I get a 40-60% discount because they don’t have to process claims and fight to get the money.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Welcome, Lady J!
October 16th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Lady J: Are you using No Script or Ad Block? They may be causing your problem.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Cj: I’d hire you! I’m sure you’ll have a new job really soon. :)
October 16th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Hi, Lady J!
October 16th, 2009 at 9:00 am
reaper: Ah, but medical insurance *is* supposed to cover quite a few things, all basically laid out in your “contract”. It isn’t anything like car insurance, so comparing them doesn’t make sense.
With the way things stand today, if you have one thing go wrong with you, say Diabetes, you can be denied any and all health care, not just things related to your problem. If you get hurt in a car accident, you’re screwed. You get appendicitis, you’re screwed. It’s like the Farside comic about horse illnesses.
Frankly, it is an inhumane way for health care companies to save money.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Welcome Lady J
October 16th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Lunch time!
October 16th, 2009 at 9:03 am
The companies’ only goal is to deny coverage. Money in, but not out, is a great business model.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:04 am
And, from my jaded, evil perspective, great business models are generally inhumane.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:04 am
There are so, so, so many facets of the Healthcare controversy that make my blood boil. You hate Obama and non-Republicans THAT much that you’d rather see sub-zillionaires continue to suffer for lack of funds to cover outlandish medical expenses?
OR you’re in on the take, and you’d prioritize your own greed ahead of the well-being of families stricken with severe injuries or illness?
It’s too tempting to rant. I’ll stop there.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:09 am
You’re right, Jack. Enough said and time to move on to happier things. Pizza sounds good to me.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:13 am
Yea! What you guys said. Etc.
I’m waiting for the meeting to finish so that i can pack this junk up and head home.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Lady J: Hello and welcome! :-)
October 16th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Ditto: I don’t disagree that this is what medical insurance IS NOW. I just don’t think that is what it ever should have been. My parents own a small trucking company so they have to buy their own insurance. It cost them an insane amount of money to keep contemporary insurance. I told them to change to catastrophe insurance (any incident over $5000 plus continuing care related to that incident covered %100 after the first $5000) cost about 90% less. granted my parents didn’t have any continuing care needs when they signed up so it works for them…
not an option for everyone but if people had to shop around from the beginning drugs and doctors visits and other procedures wouldn’t have gotten to this point…
October 16th, 2009 at 9:24 am

October 16th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Agreed, NS. It’s annoying when I find something for a great little price and the shipping costs twice as much as the product. *grumble*
But, I suppose someone’s gotta pay those guys in the tight delivery shorts…

wooot for a night out! I saw the new Coen Bros. movie tonight. Although I can’t relate with the heavy focus on 1970s Jewish suburban life, I still found it to be a pretty standard-fare enjoyable Coen film. . . . .which to me is pretty good. Comparable to The Man Who Wasn’t There.
There’s my review.

I’ve also got the crud. DPN1. Cough.
Morning, everyone!
October 17th, 2009 at 6:05 am
This weeks DP episode is not downloading for me, and I don’t see it in the iTunes store. Argh!
October 17th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Wouldn’t be as bad if Darcy had time on her hands. Her show opens Friday, but she insists I take it easy and she wants to try to keep the kids from getting it.
October 17th, 2009 at 7:11 am
Yeah I noticed that as well Essbee, iTunes is still not dowloading the latest DP episode.
October 17th, 2009 at 7:38 am
Really? It pulled it down on Thursday morning for me, just like normal. Currently running Itunes 9 (9.0.0.70)
October 17th, 2009 at 7:39 am
My crud decided to get some attitude. It’s definitely gone from annoyance to nuisance.
October 17th, 2009 at 7:59 am
I am having the same problem with iTunes
October 17th, 2009 at 8:07 am
*yawn stretch*
Good Morning!
Show downloaded for me Thursday morning too. I haven’t upgraded my itunes.
October 17th, 2009 at 8:09 am
NS, I slept last night!
I went to bed and conked right out! No coughing or anything and I actually slept almost 8 full hours! Would have been 8, but the kids were like, “Mommy, we’re thirsty! We want juice!”
So – the kids have juice and milk and I’m sporting a ginormous and yummy 32oz coffee this morning.
Life is good!
October 17th, 2009 at 8:12 am
Oh and to all of you with the coughing crud. I had that for a week. Last night was the first night I slept through without coughing.
I have a helpful hint if you can’t sleep due to coughing.
Put Vick’s Vapor rub (or some generic facsimile thereof) on your feet and then put on socks.
I know it sounds bizarre – but it works! Honest!
Snopes says it’s “undetermined” – those of us moms who have done it, say it works.

Quick hop in. Hubby broke glasses so I took him in to get new ones today, so no MA for me :(
i got the last DP episode first thing Thursday through my i-Tunes
October 17th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
iTunes grabbed this ep no problem. You would have seen me on here whining if it were any different.
October 17th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
I’ve been meaning to do writing recently, but the last production from me was the Party Animal short I did a few eps back. My episode of Angel Between the Lines I wrote the first draft of will release near Halloween.
(Not that anyone asked…)
October 17th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
JohnBoze: THAT explains your sudden burst of nipples. :-P
Jack: Thanks, I’ll have to keep an eye out.
Random MA/eyeglass memory:
I recall starting MA (Tang Soo Do at this point) with glasses. Had to take them off for every class, obviously. Really sucked until I got contacts. Of course, they aren’t prefect either. Taking a hit to the eye area can make them less than useful.
October 17th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

Try iTunes now.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
The only oddity I had with this Deadpan episode is in regards to Google Reader. That’s how I get all my RSS stuff. Normally with podcasts there’s an embeded player at the bottom of the entry and a direct .mp3 link under that. This episode had neither. So I went to the actual site, where everything went smoothly under both OSes.

I, too, paid a visit to the clinic today. The wife is leaving town the in morning for work. So, being alone with the kids this week, she thought it might be good if I were somewhat healthy. Imagine that. Got a couple of shots and a week of antibiotics and industrial cough syrup.
They did test me for the flu, and I passed…or failed, depending on how you want to score. Just Bronchitis, thankfully.
October 17th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
My wife picked up “Stree Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” at Redbox tonight. It has the girl from Smallville as the lead. Certainly not grade a cinema, but not a bad way to pass the evening while sitting sick on the sofa.

Without getting long-winded – most of you probably already saw my Facebook and/or Twitter.
I took Gram to the hospital at about 4:30pm yesterday and I finally took her home at 1:30-ish this morning.
She simply had some “clogged pipes” which are now moving more freely than I ever needed to know about – and aren’t you all lucky I shared that fact with you!
So, Yes NS, the pre-sleep I got was definitely helpful! :)

Gram is, again, appearing better. I don’t think this roller coaster ride is over yet, but it seems that when I’m present, she’s more alert and aware of what is going on.
My mom is here now though and taking over for a bit. I’m happy to be home with my kids and hope to be for the rest of the day!

Vanamonde: Thanks for the consideration. Indeed the various Linux distros have reasonably easy ways to install the proprietary Quicktime codec. Of course, doing so without paying royalties would be illegal, so I’m sure none of us do that.

Glad you’re struggling thru to victory there Ed!
Just saw a “Top Gear” where they mocked the CTS and then raced it vs. an Audi with a V8 and “The Stig” at the wheel … and the CTS spanked the Audi! It blew it away in the straights (which wasn’t unexpected) but the surprise was how well the Cadillac handled in the corners. The Audi just couldn’t get past it.

There is a scene where the evil fraternaty has their pledges bent over and they are beating the pledge’s derrières with large wooden paddles. After each hit, the pledge, trying to hold back screams, yells out “Thank you sir. May I have another.”

That sounds a bit harsher than I meant it. It was a fine opening, lots of potential to the universe, and the main character was appealing. On the other hand, a decent first chapter is no guarantee of anything. And if the ending doesn’t pay off, then you have BSG.

guess you already have my opinion of the “Golden Age of the Solar Clipper” books but with out much incite of them. they way he romanticize the grunt jobs and self discovery of the main character makes me wish I lived in that time growing with him. there is some science in them but the books are about people (well ok Person). I like someone I can relate to in a book. I have had crappy jobs doing things I didn’t understand because I had to so I can relate.
They are the kind of books i can (and have) listen to over and over. still not very good incite but I can admit when I’m being a cheerleader…

Hey tech-heads.
I’m listening to i-tunes on my computer. On my touch I have this cute little function where I can listen to my podcasts on double time. How do I do that on i-tunes itself?
October 20th, 2009 at 5:27 am
I’m a car newb. I would like to stay that way. But there is no hot air and it is cold now. So I am trying to find out where the “Heater Control Valve” is. It is mounted to the “Firewall.” Whateverthefuck a “Firewall” is.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:29 am
How do you do the “double time” on the touch?
October 20th, 2009 at 5:29 am
Oh, and a good morning to the pan!
October 20th, 2009 at 5:30 am
Firewall – the bit of metal between you and the engine. Behind the dashboard.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:31 am
J0e, on the upper right corner of the screen is a spot you can touch and it will play in either double time or half time. The good thing about the double time is it’s done in such a way the people talking don’t actually sound like chipmunks ;)
October 20th, 2009 at 5:32 am
Here I thought a “firewall” was a computer networking term
October 20th, 2009 at 5:33 am
Going with the self appointed “car newb” theme I shall ask … does the air ever get warm? like even after you’ve let the engine run for 10 minutes?

I have had two problems with heat one was a thermostat and the other was the heater blower motor died. the motor was full of fine dust that used to be the motor winding. that was an old car so by comparison to newer cars easy to get to that was hard enough i would hate to try in a new car

October 20th, 2009 at 6:08 am
The air never gets more than lukewarm, the fan does blow, moving the heat dial doesn’t seem to make any difference, the engine doesn’t seem to have any issues with overheating (and the gauge does rise after a few minutes running the engine) and… uh… I have a diagram of the heater valve cable … and I spent a few minutes hovering over the engine trying to find it.
And failing.
But now that yall have told me what a firewall is (and I apparently failed my google-fu roll today (1s)) I will go look again. Meh.

the first time I tried to fix my own car i was surprised at how easy it was. I had gotten an estimate on brakes and they gave me a list of a bunch of other stuff that also should be done (just neglected maintenance stuff) the cost blew me away. a friend offered to help if I wanted to do it myself. for less than 1/2 the cost I did the brakes, rotors, tuneup, gas pump, gas line, gas filter, exhaust system, and a few other things plus i bough the manual and all the tools including jacks and what not. I’m not saying car mechanics don’t have there place but if I have the time and some help I would rather do it myself. the big issue is time. this whole thing took me and a friend about 4 days they would have done it in an afternoon
October 20th, 2009 at 6:24 am
i think it took 4 days because we are easily distracted… oo shiny… and we would debate when the manual meant
October 20th, 2009 at 6:26 am
There was a time when I would buy the mechanical books for cars that I owned so I could change the filter, oil, etc. Now cars have gone all electronic and motors are on the sides and you need special diagnostic equipment to figure out what’s wrong. I just take my car in. It may cost more but it saves me a lot of time and frustration and keeps my eyes from crossing.

That being said, however, the fact that I can’t order some items from CDN Amazon that are available in the US (i.e. computer games and some books) as well as CDN i-tunes does bother me. But the fact of the matter is, no matter how it sometimes feel, I do live in a different country and therefore should (must) put up with all that it brings. It could be much worse than not being able to access certain internet sites or having to pay a little extra to ship thing from the US.

Partial quote from the wiki article everyone should appreciate:
Devo’s music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary via sometimes-discordant pop songs that often feature unusual synthetic instrumentation and time signatures, and their work has proved hugely influential on subsequent popular music, particularly New Wave, industrial and alternative rock artists.

JohnBoze, sorry, that was supposed to be in response to your nipple.

I’m making chili w/ ground turkey tonight, it’s pretty basic heartland chili, I’m sure, compared to what some of you make…
October 20th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Yes, there are beans.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
JohnBoze: Oops, I apologize for using the word “nipple” to refer to my previous nipple in response to your nipple.
I know how some parents feel about nipples and having their children exposed…
Wait, do you do breast feeding? ’cause, if you do, I’m not going to apologize.
I’ll just sit back and be terribly impressed.

I might add this configuration is suitable for average three year olds, the chile heat has been pretty much omitted.

October 20th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Add a couple cans kidney beans, light or dark as you may, and your choice between draining the beans or adding their packing sauce. For kids I usually add the sauce, as it dilutes (and stretches) the recipe.

How can a map have a sexual preference?
October 20th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Bring back to a merry boil, then simmer a while. Pretty much ready to serve, or you can simmer covered a good long while, it’s pretty liquidy and extra simmerage won’t do any harm for flavor.

WNDR, I will try to check out the Halloween ep if I get a chance after work. I think the final Flash-in-the-Pan releases tonight, so you only have a few hours left, if you want to make a statement about Flash Gordon.

Gil: Oh?
Grandma: Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride!
Gil: What a great story.
Grandma: I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn’t like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.

Cj: I don’t do cards. I mentally emit well-wishing through the ether. It’s cheaper, and I feel if there is a universal entity keeping track of such things, it gets marked on the “plus” side of its chart. I’m sending another one at noon. Don’t miss it.
TEB: I see little cottontail bunnies around my office building all the time. Saw one on my first break this morning. Always puts a grin on my face. For that matter, Ice Cream also usually puts a grin on my face… but since I lived in Iowa during the hey-day of Blue Bunny’s turn at making very cheap (read: bad) ice cream when my parents bought a lot of it, I’ll stick with Berto’s… sure, it costs more, but it gives me that MMMMMMM feeling…
October 21st, 2009 at 10:41 am
What do you do if there was someone who was on your Christmas card list, but you weren’t planning on getting a gift for, but you’re out and see the perfect, relatively inexpensive, gift for that person?
I bought the gift, but I’m afraid I’ll make her feel guilty because I don’t want a gift in return.

So what I get from all this is that, in wearing blue today, I’m both cheap and bad…COOL!!! :razz:
October 21st, 2009 at 10:47 am
TEB: I buy the gift. I also go a long way to explaining to people that they don’t need to buy me anything, unless they want to, and I try to never tell people “what I want” for Christmas, because it’s not about what I want, it’s the thought put into the gift that counts.

October 21st, 2009 at 10:53 am
I agree LJ (about the gift, not about keeping things to yourself). I did buy the gift. I also don’t give gift ideas. In fact, hubby and I don’t exchange gifts at Christmas, we collect our funds and buy a big item we’d both enjoy. (This year we plan to get a new TV for the livingroom). I do, however, demand gift ideas from the kids because we have no idea what to get them :)

October 21st, 2009 at 11:03 am
If I see something that is just perfect for someone and I can afford it, I pretty much always get it for them even if there is no occasion for it.
Sometimes it’s better if there is no occasion for it because then they absolutely don’t have to get you something in return for whatever “holiday” it was.
A simple, “I saw this and it made me think of you so you must have it.” should suffice.
Giving gifts is entirely hugely more fun than receiving them, however, when someone thinks of you and what YOU would really enjoy and appreciate simply because they know you – the gift of them knowing you often means more than the gift itself.

I figure the Wells’ Dairy only really needed the cartoon bunny when their product was poor. Now the bunny itself has faded away to name only and the products are pretty good.

My last nipple reminds me of the early Steven Seagal movies:
First he was Above the Law, then Hard to Kill, after which he was Marked for Death. This sent him back Out for Justice, where he suddenly found himself Under Siege. As his film carreer continued, we found ourselves On Deadly Ground.
There are days I wish I didn’t know so much about movies… Thank god 42 minutes into Executive Decision they killed him off.
