No, there's at least two.
I got mine last trip from some 8-year old kid who I had convinced
you're part of the Russo crime family in Italy.
It was an offer he couldn't refuse.

You're using Thunderbird to read, yes?
Select menu "Tools" then "Account Settings". Select the account you
use to read Usenet. There should be a place to put a sig to the

A brief RADP buying spree had him up to 369,546 for a moment. I got my

An advantage of the real book over the electronic is that you're not
afraid to take it into the tub.

It's just a little disheartening for me when people take it into the

When I got a Kindle 2 earlier this year, Wall-E took over the original
Kindle. The only complaint so far from him, battery running down. I
will say that the Kindle 2 is more stable that the original - it
doesn't "lock up" (a problem that I had with the original). Of course,
given the number of classics that are out of copyright, my K2 is
crammed with tons of literature that I always meant to read but
haven't and at the same time, my work and life got busier so I haven't
had time to really get into those tomes.

Did you guys ever see that episode of Cheers where Diane borrows
money from Sam to buy an under-valued antique book, then Sam takes
the book, reads it in the bathtub and falls asleep?
No, this post had no point.

If we are going to continue stroking Steve's ego by giving him a very
long thread, the posts need to ramble, don't they.

A lesser man would've said someone beat you to it but I would never resort
to such cheap shots in an attempt at humor.

I love Cheers (actually have the theme song on my iPod) so...
Yes and you're right.

Yep. I've been told that many times.
Just don't all get together and do it on the same day. That'd suck.
Keane, who somehow missed this post in his drafts folder...
Keane
Then who really wrote your book?
Keane, who never passes up a cheap shot in an attempt at humor...

No, our liquor is "normal" proof; its the beer that is the issue, but
that has now changed.

Maybe some fireworks, too!

Katie was telling me about her new friend Kelly, and so I had to break
into a rendition of Woodys "Kelly, Kelly, Kelly" song.

Best lyrics ever. Did she get it? Has she ever seen or heard of Cheers?
Ginny Favers
OK, Scotch we don't do, but pyro, we're there. We'll bring the
quickfire system and the firing wire. We'll take up a collection for
the fireworks. We can store 'em over by Boom, I'm sure she's got an ATF
approved bunker. You supply the Tab. Joe drinks about a six pack of
Tab when he's setting up a show.
~Amanda
Lisa Cubbon
mind one bit. Fireworks are pretty normal. Tab... I can find
Tab in the City that Coke built. Rum too???? (we were at friends
a few 4th of Julys ago and they had a quickfire system, wired
all the stuff up and it was quite a show!)
Lisa
Rudeney
Of course not - she's only 15! He just looked at me like I had a third
eyeball growing out of my forehead.
Rudeney
What's funny is that I almost wrote that we should invite you and Joe
for the fireworks, and then decided I'd make it "generic" to see if
you'd bite. And you did! :-)
