Yeah- I'm tickled pink about the DSL. I think it stands for "Doesn't Suck out-Loud. I could have gotten high speed cable but that would have meant dealing with Time-Warner- the evil empire that controls the local cable system. I hates them, I hates them forever Precious. I'd rather have my internet via smoke signals. I like Carlin a lot. I didn't list him cause he's still alive. I think Mencia is the best of the new crop.

Dangerfield rocked! He was great but he wasn't really that old. He went before his time because he partied way too hard for way too long. Past 60, you've gotta slow down some. I like Chappelle! The other two I haven't seen much of.

Hi Demetz Welcome! I know as much about Islam as I know about say- the Andromeda galaxy. It's there, it's big and complex but I've never mixed or mingled with anyone from there. That is half the fun of the net-- even a redneck from the sticks like me can meet all sorts of people. Word up to any Andromedians that might be online. JS

Why is it that all the comedians that I like are dead? Sam Kinson, Rodney Dangerfield, Lenny Bruce: I mean WTF? I must be getting old. I know there are lots of younger people on the board who probably don't remember these guys. Do yourself a favor and look them up. You'll laugh your ballz off! Well, that's an exaggeration. OK, so you'll just laugh and in all probability, you will sustain no debilitating injuries. In other matters... After suffering with dial-up Internet access for a year and 2 months, DSL finally became available in my new neighborhood! I've got my broadband on and I'm loving online life again. Chuckles, JS

I wanted to share it because I feel like I should be proud of myself. As well you should be. When you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs... Oops! There I go again quoting someone whom I can't remember.

Cheer up Vance! It's a long weekend.

OK, story stuff ... I haven't gotten the final edit of Ch. 17 back from Kitty yet, but she's been busy and is taking care of her father back in Texas, so if for some reason it's a few days late, please be patient and don't send any hate mail or anything. I hope no one on GA would be so rude. Writing is an art and it takes what it takes to get it right. Most readers understand that. This really is an exceptional site with a lot of great people-- writers and readers. We GACs are proud of our exceptionally talented collection of authors and are very protective of them. We have ZERO tolerance for anything that might appear abusive or harassing toward them. I have a lead pipe for just such an occurrence. :mace:

Happy Birthday Cosmie! Those whom the gods love grow young. - Oscar Wilde

Happy Birthday NATE! (How could I have missed this thread?)

Look what happens when you search google for the word failure: Google search for failure.

NJ- I know that I sure didn't send it and I don't think that any of the other GACs would either. PM me regarding this. It would be helpful if you have a copy of the email. -JS

Of course we missed you! I hope that all is well and that you've had a nice adventure.

Of course I like Butterscotch and Butterball- I'm a big fan of yellow tabbies. But- Baby Purr looks like she has a lot of personality too. BTW- I found a book that I'm enjoying called Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams. If you like cats, check it out.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. - Groucho Marx Happy Birthday Harrod!

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. - Mark Twain Happy birthday Myr- and hopes for many more!

Ohhhh- I want Butterball! I wonder how much a plane ticket for him would cost. Would he have an accent? Would the Mississippi cats make fun of him? I think about these things way too much. :wacko:

Like duh, what's my avatar?

For a very well-done fantasy/sci-fi crossover, I would encourage you to check out the Scrolls of Icaria by Jamie at Awesomedude.com. Here's a hot link to Jamie's ==> The Scrolls of Icaria I have a sci-fi story there as well. ==> the Cool Green Sea

I'm sure that the kitty will find the bunny just delicious.

Finalists: Black Sabbath-- Iron Man Rush-- YYZ Aerosmith-- Walk this Way Pink Floyd-- DSOTM What's REALLY scary is I have all of them-- ripped on this computer.

NJ- Get well soon or I'm going to have to send you pics of puppies and kittens. JS

what a cutie! I'm fond of yellow tabbies or as my Aussie bud calls them "ginger cats". Got a pic of your yellow kitty?

I won! I won! I won! I have recently started hanging out on E-bay. It's a really cool place to pick up things at a bargain. I got a copy of IBM's DB2 for the PC for $25. A new purchase would cost me hundreds. Computer books , science and text books- always WAY overpriced new can be got for a song on E-bay. I got my Object Oriented Programming in C++ for $10 (90$ at the bookstore). College book stores- what a racket! What I'm really pleased about is the auction I won tonight. I found a Mitsubishi Integrated Amp (AV-3) for $30. That's the one I REALLY wanted when I settled for my Cheap-o Technics Amp a few years ago. OK more like a decade ago. I never, ever really understand business. Mitsubishi has always been a favorite of tekkie geeks. Great engineering, high quality control- they always make great stuff right? Then they just up and leave the consumer electronics business. They used to make practically everything- even if a product wasn't GREAT, it was pretty darned good. Now there are no more Mitsubishi TVs, computer monitors, stereos-- BOOOO! Now tekkies like me fight over the leftovers. Sad... I wish that companies that made good products would stay in business. The ones that are good at marketing crappy products would dry up and blow away. I guess you need an MBA to figure it out because it makes no sense at all. SIGH. Oh well- I've got a great Amp on the way! I can't wait to plug it in. What should I play on it first? Something old or something new? Tools new album or some old Doors or Rush... I love this sort of quandary. Help me out: What should I play first on my new Amp?

All my best wishes Nick. Once upon a time sitting at a red-light feeling sorry for myself, I asked what else could go wrong. Suddenly I was rear-ended by another car and got hit by car while the officer was writing up the accident report. Murphy (as in Murphy's Law) is a sadistic bastard. Never give him an opening like that! JS
