Any suggestions as to what I should screen?

Jack, checked out Minority Report yet? An excellent SF thriller by Sir Steven, based on Philip K.Dick's novel, pre-cognitive mutants predict murders before they're commited, so lets say you're having breakfast and suddenly Tom Cruise as agent 003 and a half, crashes thru your kitchen window and arrests you for merely thinking of strangling your boss, nice new law eh? Good film. Recommended.

Hey come on Mike, Fluff Daddy was good.


Damn good, Steve! I laughed my arse off when I read it!

If Dennis has Fluff Daddy "in the house", can companions Katie & Susie (who don't get nearly enough attention at the HTF) be K-Lo and S-Diddy?

Jack, have you checked out the new restoration of High Noon? Or, The Producers?




There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

How about Puff Diddy?
Fluff Kiddy?
Muff Puffkin?

And it all started with Steve Christou and Parker Clack doing parody riffs on dialogue from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Dennis: Awesome insights into living in Korea. Fascinating post.

Everyone: Having an interface problem with my iMac. The mouse would work, even though the computer booted fine. I could move the arrow around on the desktop, but I couldn't click on anything and get anything to respond. But when I connected the mouse to the other size of the keyboard (two mouse connections on an iMac keyboard), I get intermittent response. I can click on the things, but it's not easy.

Bad keyboard? Or worse? Please help.
