Don't checkmate me, bro!!!

Are the codes still working for you? They worked (unlimited) until Tuesday for me. Of course, my definition of unlimited and Ron's are probably alot different!

Maybe you should work on that, Rachel. Although on the other hand, invisible items are all the rage lately.

You better keep that email, in case you ever want to re-sell that disc to anyone else - as proof that it's a legitimate copy.

Are you kidding? I read many opinion pieces and new stories that tore the s--- out of Clemens after his press conference and further stuff from his camp (the news stories implicitly doubtful, the opinion pieces explicitly doubtful or worse), plus I heard lots of stuff on sports talk radio in the same vein (obviously, I'm wasting my life). Yes, I read some stuff that gave or tried to give Clemens a pass, but my honest impression was that it was at least 60-40 Roger is lying, maybe more than that. OK, so a week's worth of press equals three years of media bullshit aimed at Barry Bonds? You can't be serious. Ok - you're complaining that Clemens hasn't had 3 yrs of bad press now? When the allegations just came out a few weeks ago? That makes NO sense. Or do you want the amount of bad press that Clemens has had in 6 weeks to equal what Bonds has had in 3 yrs? Then it will finally be fair in your eyes?

Yep.

What I've read is that if an online business has brick-n-mortar (or administrative/warehousing even?) sites in your particular state, you are charged sales tax on the online purchase. If they don't, you aren't. I don't have any idea how that would affect costs for international orders, or if they charge some sort of tax on non-U.S. orders....

It's a duplicate - I ordered it from a Swiss merchant with a number of other discs not too long ago, and forgot that I already had it! I like all of the Clusone 3 discs that I've got - Rara Avis, I am an Indian, Love Henry, and An Hour With...

Had to start this thread to say that Texas A&M and Baylor are currently in their FIFTH overtime tonight! edit - Baylor won, 116-110. A&M's third straight Big 12 loss, and first at home. They sure aren't looking as good as they did last year. Though they don't have a stud like Acie Law to pull out these kinda games at the end anymore, either.

bumping this thread up.... I have the Chartbusters "Mating Call" I'm going to offer up here.

Does this mean that you're not interested in trading for the Wolf Biermann CD? You know that's not an even trade!! ...let me throw in a Miles Plugged Nickel box set too, then we'll call it even.

Thanks gents (and that's not including you, Ron!). My favorite postage stamp ever (and least favorite envelope! ) came from a trade with Al a while back - a Charlie Parker stamp, on a sizzling hot pink envelope that only a 10 year old girl could love!

His version of The Joker appears to be a little different than Nicholson:

Jerry O'Connell is a brave, brave man.

Not tactile enough for me.

Welcome back, Alan!

Crap! I think Ron's 278 orders per day ruined it for the rest of us!

Try as I might, I can't figure out how to turn this into a thread about my "time" in Arkansas. Shore are pretty girls there.

I guess it has sharks in it or somethin.

...you're all invited!! Make a splash in the world's largest swimming pool If you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in to this one. It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. Yesterday the Guinness Book of Records named the vast pool beside the sea in Chile as the biggest in the world. But if you fancy splashing out on one of your own – and you have the space to accommodate it – then beware: This one took five years to build, cost nearly £1billion and the annual maintenance bill will be £2million. The man-made saltwater lagoon has been attracting huge crowds to the San Alfonso del Mar resort at Algarrobo, on Chile's southern coast, since it opened last month. Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end. It dwarfs the world's second biggest pool, the Orthlieb – nicknamed the Big Splash – in Morocco, which is a mere 150 yards long and 100 yards wide. An Olympicsize pool measures some 50 yards by 25 yards. Chile's monster pool uses a computer- controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation, drawing it in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other. The sun warms the water to 26c, nine degrees warmer than the adjoining sea. Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, whose Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool, said advanced engineering meant his company could build "an impressive artificial paradise" even in inhospitable areas. "As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean."

....Shouldn't Al Davis be on the "Pre 20th Century" list?

Now here's something that would be interesting: "Our friends in the US should make a note in their diaries, so that they don't miss the very popular NBC TV programme, Saturday Night Live. Scheduled to appear on the February 2nd show is Roger Waters, due to perform - certainly with Snowy White, possibly with his full band. Exact details of what they are to perform haven't been confirmed yet. However, current rumours are that with the current writers' strike in the US, Roger will be performing the whole of Dark Side Of The Moon! The show airs at 11:30pm EST/10:30pm Central, but check local listings for when it airs in your area. Our thanks to Renate from the Snowy White fan club for the initial info. " The WHOLE of Dark Side!!! Somehow that's hard to believe though.

...The free codes appear to be "one time only" use today.

What about "new" Patriot vs. "old" Patriot:
