Mass transit is an alternative in most of Europe, however.

I smells me an opportunist. Wonder if the wind blows the other way in the legislature next year if he'd switch back.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) 'N' controls it's rights, i believe. No, they are showing "Degrassi: The Next Generation" That's the new series. Lifetime, however, is showing "Golden Palace," the inferior Golden Girls spinoff which is the same show at a hotel and minus Bea Arthur plus Cheech Marin. :puke

but there was a severe thunderstorm warning in the area at the time.

There is a severe thunderstorm warning in Boston at the moment.

For that matter why isn't Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High out on DVD either?

There is a hybrid version of the Highlander. And one of the Honda Civic.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) Ya want controversy? It's time we quit putting Lennon and McCartney together on the songwriting thing. It is well documented and known that they never wrote together and only split the credits. Paul himself wants to start taking credit alone for the songs he wrote. They were both great, but they did not write together. I prefer Paul though. I have no use at all for solo Lennon, whereas I like quite a bit of the stuff Wings did, and Paul has done solo. How about Amadeus? Bach? Hell, let's finally bow down to the TRUE Father of Rock And Roll: Bill Haley!!! Paul McCartney wrote pop music. John Lennon wanted to start a revolution. Although some of Lennon's stuff was overproduced and underpowered - (I hate cheesy 70s saxophone) - there was simply absolutely brilliant Lennon only songs.

Plus the mileage will be even better I bet. In two years, I'll be getting a hybrid.

Just so you know, the Highlander is available in hybrid and nonhybrid form. The difference in MPG is about 11 miles to the gallon. If you drive 12000 miles a year. Annual gas savings with an average gas price of 2.20 per gallon would be about 700 dollars. My annual savings would be 2100 dollars. The difference in price is about 7 grand between the two cars. It's not really economical unless you drive 35,000+ miles a year. If I went from the xB to the Prius, id save on average about 15 mpg. My annual savings would be 700 dollars a year driving 36,000 miles a year. The difference in price between the two cars is about 5,000 dollars. It's just not economical for me. In two years though, the prices will be about equal - at least with Toyota.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:50 PM) The example you gave of speaking Serbian is far from being fluent. "Ich heiße Will und ich bin sechzehn jahre alt und meiner Geburstag ist Juli 15." My name is Will, and I am 16 and my birthday is July 15. I am not fluent in German. Du bist ein scheißekopf. Correct, you are not fluent in German, because there is no "e" in scheissekopf. I always though it was scheisskopf. I'm not fluent either, but I do play one on tv.

Is this the same Schwa that had that game show on ESPN?

I sadly, will NOT be going to see Brian Wilson perform Smile! tonight at the PNCBank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. Stupid no free tickets.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Tanget warning: That reminds me of when Lucille is confronted by the Michael Moore impersonator and signs Buster up for the army on Arrested Development. They put me in something called... "Hero Squad!"

I find her damn funny. Wish I could write like that.

Shouldn't the Elton John choice really be Elton John/Bernie Taupin?

Where's the Billy Ocean option? Seriously though, what about Frank Zappa or David Bowie?

That's more like it. Although, I am taking steps to work that issue out. It's a four leg program.

Btw, I don't think of myself as normal or not... I just think of myself as me. Oh yeah, gay pride events might have a lot to do with a lot of people who are gblt, run the risk of getting beaten for who they are, run the risk of getting fired for who they are, denied housing, custody of their children, hospital visitation rights with their partners, the ability to have their partnerships recognized, and lose their family - just for being WHO they are. So they might want to hang out, let loose and be proud of who they are for once. As for science, I'm pretty sure I didn't choose who I am. I'm pretty sure I didn't choose who you are. And I'm pretty sure that I don't care why. You are what you are. Period.

Between Juggernaut's attempt to bore all the interest out of this topic and that other dude's Billy Ocean fetish - this could be the funniest thread I've read in a week.

I guess its my job as an SLP moderator to invite you to take your discussion about homosexuality that doesn't directly involve Ozzie's quote to our fine off-WhiteSox-topic bored appropriately titled "Sex, Lies and Politics." As much as I'd like to, I won't correct people's views here - no matter how wrong it is - because frankly, it ain't the place, nor the time folx.

QUOTE(ilsox7 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) True but as I said, the vast majority of the country speaks either a dialect of French or German. In the South is where you'll find some Italian and Romansh isn't spoken that much. Although its not as big of a population center as the German and French areas, there is a significant Italian population in Switzerland. Romansh is spoken by less than 1% of Swiss. Swiss and Austrian German sounds like another language to me though.

Ummm, Ozzie needs to be not stupid and not do stuff like that in front of the press. This isn't boys will be boys, he's in his 40s. And he said something stupid in public. He's getting called on it. That's what happens when you say stupid s*** in public. I like Ozzie. I don't think he's a homophobe. I do think he should be careful about what he says. Is this being blown outta proportion? Yes. Is the reporter wrong? No.
