I'm hoping that we're still talking about potatoes here.

Karmillo · 03-20-2007, 04:29 PM

My Dad brought me back a Potato on a Stick once.

Heh heh heh...now try getting that out of your head!

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, and now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come,
Was grace that brought me safe thus far,
'tis grace wil lead me home!

Wow.... that could get annoying. So does this mean that the seven are stuck there for 10,000 years...?

Actually, I was talking about dog sled racing. A "Musher" is the guy that steers the sled. I didn't know it was written with a "u", though. It's derived from the french "marcher".

My copy of Windows Vista Ultimate arrived!

It's a shame that my competition win is 32-bit only, but I can hardly complain

.

Jazhara7 · 03-21-2007, 06:59 AM

I still don't know what the devil rode you to think Windows Vista is good.

"What the devil rode you" should have been "what devil rode you", right?

Can we can a clarification from a grammar Nazi?

I think his reviews have already established Rob's level of taste...

j/k

It depends. I was not suggesting that any devil rode him, but rather that anything could have rode him, including devils. I think something much more evil than devils rode him. We're talking of *Windows* after all.

In German we say it this way: "Was zum Teufel hat dich denn geritten?!" - "What the devil [actually: "to the Devil"] rode you?!"

In other news, I present to you Bishop, the chaotic evil ranger from "Neverwinter Nights 2"...on a swing!

I've been told this image kills his dangerous side forever.

Actually, Vista seems quite nice so far (though I'm having trouble getting the wireless internet connection working). I hasten to add that I've kept my XP install, so it's not like I'm downgrading...

I like Thread™-killing. Please let me.

Pretty please?

akane_t · 03-21-2007, 11:34 AM

Rob, that's what you say now but you will be singing a different tune once the thread is actually gone. It's just like your health, you see, you won't miss it until it's gone. I mean what else other than this thread are you going to use as a ready-made excuse to delay having to write those darned essays?

Love the thread. Nurture it, don't kill it.

RLacey · 03-21-2007, 11:46 AM
