Chris Rock isn't left-wing in any way, shape, or form.

Stainless: Bingo. TDZK is it.

guardian: A classic.

Thanks everyone else for the tips.

Just a random flypaper question to see what I can find. I assume someone here is familiar with Stars!, the shareware space colonization game that came out about 8 or 9 years ago. Basically a no-frills Master of Orion with a lot more intellect, and a TON of customization options. Anyway, with no more...

It's kinda tragic that Plato's most notable legacy is belief in an island he made up for the sake of allegory. Tragic, but not surprising.

Still looking for that cave where all those people are chained up...

The only real surprise here, like Retlaw83 mentioned, is that he didn't do it earlier or in a more grandiose fashion. He probably just got bored and wanted to go on his own terms. It's just too bad not enough people have listened to what he had to say.

Bad. And by "bad," I don't mean good.

Forget all that shit. The worst two things about iPods are (a) their worthless headphones, abd (b) the 1,000s of mindless trance "songs" some kid plays on his before my Monday/Wednesday/Friday morning class. Some people should not be allowed to own them.

All worthwhile Americans like coffee and pie. If you don't, you might as well kill yourself.

Super-8 to digital conversion requires expensive machines that you probably don't want to buy, but you might try to go to a college or university near you that has a film school, and beg them to convert it for you. If you can get 'em to do it, that will probably give you the best quality conversion ...

I used to have a Dr. Who mug that had a picture of the Tardis that only appeared when you poured something hot on it.

Now I don't. Sad, really.

I've just got Winamp on shuffle with my entire set of MP3s in there, but let's see what ten shuffles yields! Walter Rossi - Sniffin the Breeze Free - All Right Now Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles David Bowie - Changes Johnny Cash - Man in Black The Clash - Spanish Bombs ELO - Living Thing ACD...

According to my Audioscrobbler, in the past month or so... 1. Tom Waits - Hoist That Rag 2. Joy Division - No Love Lost 3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues 4. The Dirtbombs - Get It While You Can 5. The Pixies - River Euphrates 6. Q and Not U - Wet Work 7. The Clash - London Calling...

Though I find it hard to lend support to the castrated version of Joy Division, Curve are entirely forgettable.

Wow, Prince Harry's an idiot. What's new?

War is still super gay.

And the food there still sucks. Where, the US? :lalala: Food is such a personal experience, and food preparation is so much subject to circumstance that how can you really judge a nations food by eating in a few venues? There seems to be a big issue with the affordability:taste ratio in the UK, out...

Closed for Repairs puts on a great live show...

Which one(s) of his? I kind of liked Norwegian Wood and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

Yeah, that's the godspeed song "East Hastings" in 28 Days Later. Hey, someone else who knows GSYBE. Of course, you live in Montreal, so you're inevitably exposed to it. Asshole. Best damn musical town you'll find. Well, not really, but we've had a good run lately. Sauron... where were you ...

The UK hasn't had better music than the US in like twenty years. And the food there still sucks.
