They seem like a typical couple to me. Sort of a European "Dharma and Greg"

Yikes...he's lost it.

Where the hell is everyone? I'm lonely...its cold and dark in here......please, someone light a fire.

My advice. Lie. "No honey, the sails keep it stiffer so it doesn't roll". "They only sail in the lee of the islands". "It's 230 feet, much bigger than the cat we were on" Lie like a rug. Lie, lie, lie. Then stick a scopamine patch on her once you get there. </font>

I have just discovered that the Chinese launched a manned spacecraft back in 2003. I cannot believe I missed it....what the hell else was going on back then? War? Pestilence? Famine? what else?

*snort* It's a little piece of foreign outerboard earnestness in good ole Cesspool home counties. [waving a stick in a vague, half-hearted Assegai sort of way] </font>

I concur. 'Zulu!' was/is a modern epic/classic. It was a well acted, fairly historically accurate, and well filmed presentation of the Battle of Rourke's Drift. It was straight-forward, as well. No 'evil nigger savages'. No 'Imperialistic British war-mongers'. It didn't judge. It was told from the perspective of the Brits, who are our heroes (Christ, it was a 60s film; it's 40 years later and we're still not ever going to see a Hollywood movie from the perspective of the 'evil nigger savages'), but it didn't demonize anyone. It was a war film. People fought and died. Unless you're familiar with the history, the viewer would never know why, or wherefore, or what. At the end, the seemingly unstoppable horde of Zulus simply give up. Both sides have suffered horrific casualties. And there's absolutely nothing strategic about what they've fought for. And there's nothing tactical that could justify the casualties. It's a brilliant depiction of the aimlessness of Modern War. It's a lot like playing a game against Boo Radley, who is a big, big whore. I like Boo. He makes me feel better about the world. But before they give up, the Zulus honour 'the nut that was too hard to crack', and give them their lives. Which is nothing like Modern War. We don't honour those who oppose us. We demonize them. And they now demonize us. Politics, religion, economics... Nowadays, we want what we've always wanted. Simple heroes, simple villains. The guilty, and the innocent. Good guys, bad guys. White Cowboy Hats, Black Kaffiyeh. Us and Them. Our Fears, Their Anger. White. Brown. Christianity. Islam. West. East. Until the twain can meet, Democracy is just another word for Subjugation. Kipling should be a poet, not the Imam of the West. </font>

Say hello to JR and Bobby for me....thanks Joe .

I was thinking of it, my wife is not good on smaller boats though...I have a hard time geting her on the giant cruise ships. Those three-masters might be too much like sailing for her liking. I would hate to plan something like that and have her sea sick all the time. We took a caribbean catamaran cruise for a week once back in the early 80s, but that was when we were much younger. She really tried to have a good time, but she just doesnt do well on boats. I really loved it, I enjoy the sea and being around boats.

Say Lars , are those "Windjammer" cruises that you go on? Do they have anything that goes to the South Pacific?

None of my local Borders or B&N seem to have it in stock...although its listed on their websites. I just ordered it from RZM...its in stock and will ship tomorrow according to the confirmation email. RZM gives you a 10% discount for ordering on line BTW.

"I" before "E" except after "C" or when sounding like "ay" as in "Neighbor" and "Weigh" Oh I forgot...you're Canadian, English is not your first language. Please pardon me.

God Shaw , could you make it any friggen smaller? I looks like an old movie poster for "Mutiny on the Bounty"...thats about all I can make out of it.

We should start a wives club..... Dear Mrs Peng could be the chairwoman, and all of our wives and girlfirends could belong...you see if we let them in somehow, they can see for themselves that this is not some evil place where we go to get away from them and their incessant nagging , but a place where they too can belong. If they choose not to join, then we can say, "I gave you the opportunity to join the "CM Wives and Girlfriends Club" and you couldn't be bothered. Now leave me the f*** alone and let me play in peace.....

Excellent tip on command delays Kingfish , something I didn't contemplate.

Lost in a Roman.... Wilderness of pain and all the scenarios are insane all the scenarios are insane..... waiting for the summer rain....

Which one of those boys is you, Nick?

Actually THIS is Western Civilization.

This all makes too much sense...it must belong in another thread. Not the porn part, though..... It all stems from boredom, either that or too many commercials during "American Idol".

Sergei, I pray that milf goes out your nose.

Oh yeah?... well how do you explain that shrine to John Wayne Gacy?, and what about those cheesey sky mods? [ February 23, 2006, 03:54 AM: Message edited by: Nidan1 ]

Boo , take my advice and stay out of these high-tech, very contentious threads....they are way over your head.

I rest my case.....
