How are you going about this? Meaning, how are you searching for your posts?

Yes,,, and I'm selling them for $5.00 apiece out of my car with my own cover artwork ← I KNEW IT!!!!! Does your cover-art look like this?

Yes, this has been going on for a long time... paying real money for items in games (like swords or armor or whatever). Pretty dumb. Then again, people are pretty dumb, so what can you expect? Seems like the programmers of these games would pick up on this and just start selling shit. They could probably make more money that way than selling the actual game.

You didn't play the stuff on the air, did you!?? RANDY!!! That's what happens when you give the drummer sensitive material!!! You're not making CD-Rs for your friends, are you!?!? We just finished up final mixing today and we were working on Peaches. Both Joe and I were scratching our heads as to where it fits within the scheme of the other tunes. The votes for the inclusion of Peaches are duely noted.

That was a pretty blatant hook. Then again, people pummel Shaq without getting called, so it evens out. That said, it was interesting how Shaq and Wade can hold Ben Wallace's arms under the basket (one of each) so he can't even get off the ground to try and get an offensive rebound and that's not a foul (or two). Why are these games so spread apart!? Suns/Spurs not until tomorrow and the Pistons/Heat Sunday?! Criminey.

I am so incredibly glad that I missed that.

I am ashamed to know this, but "Let's Hear It For The Boy" was not sung by Madonna, but rather by Deniece Williams. My sisters had the frickin' soundtrack and played it constantly, ok?! I swear...

Thanks, Lazaro!!

Thanks, everyone! My birthday was fine... stupid cop and all. Tonight I played the WGVU JazzNite with my boyz, Organissimo, and we had a blast. Saw Chuck, Anne, and Uncle Skid as well as other friends. Always a good time!

That was tonight!

but... but... my ringtone is funky...

A lot of good bands never made it out of the 80s. The 80s were an evil time.

Needs wacked out hair. Couw?

Well, I had a great day... UNTIL... My wife and I did the 7-course dinner thang with some friends, which was incredible. Way too much food, all of it absolutely scrumptous. I asked the chef where he trained and he said, "in my kitchen". I couldn't believe it. It was unbelievable. I wish I could remember some of the dishes, but alas, I am forgetfull. It was great. However, I drove separately from my wife since she works in the small town in which this dinner took place. I was heading towards the highway when I got pulled over by some local small-town cop. He pegged me going 42mph in a 25mph, which is bullshit. I was watching my spedometer the whole time because I knew that this particular stretch of the road is a speed trap. In fact, my wife, who works for the city, says that this speed trap is the number one complaint every single month at every city council meeting. Basically, it looks like it should be at least 35mph. You're out of downtown, there's barely any houses, few business, and you're going into a 45mph zone. But it's not. It's 25mph. Ok, that's fine. But here's the kicker... right in the middle of that stretch there's a big hill and as you go down the hill, your car accelerates. Every car accelerates. So you basically have to ride your breaks to keep from going over 25mph. Again, I was watching my speed and yes, I did get up to around 32 maybe 33mph, but there was no way I was going 42mph. I wanted to ask the cop to see the radar, but I had a glass of wine during dinner (was not feeling anything) and my license expires today because it's my birthday and the Secretary of State has not mailed my replacement yet (they are massively understaffed due to budgest constraints... it took my wife over 3 months and 4 phone calls to get her tags for her plates last year) so I didn't want to push my luck. But I will be fighting this. Ruined an otherwise great day, so I'll try not to let it get me down too much. Asshole cop.

Now it's a series again! Gotta give it to Wade, he stepped up. My prediction? The Pistons split the next two in Detroit and that's the last game the Heat will win.

I have confidence in my boyz. I think they're gonna pull it out again tonight.

Doesn't every board need one?

Thanks, everybody! Today is going to be great... I get to stay home all day with Zora and then my wife and I are going to a friend's home to have dinner made for us by a professional chef. YUM! Then I'm going to watch the Pistons take game 2!!! Should be a great day!

Uploaded some new emoticons...

You know what's even cooler than that? IPB SpellCheck Want it?

Nice travel, Manu. Do the Suns know how to play defense?

that's some seriously unexpected effect! WTF?! it seems fonts and alignments are defined through paragraph types somewhere. huge pile of complex code. I used to click on the link of the forum I was reading, instead of using the back button, just to keep the thread read/unread tags meaningful. I'll just use the cool new "jump to forum" feature at the bottom of the page then, saves me scrolling to the top. ← How about now? I put an alignment code in the actual main global board header for the navigation strip.

Yeah, I had it in the wrong spot anyway. I just tried putting an alignment code next to the nav strip and it made all the text on the whole site boldface. That's not going to work.

couw, is it any better? I also tried something to fix the OS 9.x, IE 5.x problem so if anyone can tell me if that worked, that would be super-duper.

Yeah, I'll look into it.
