While this is not something I'm glad to hear, I don't find it to be all that upsetting. The show has had a good run, and honestly the last two seasons haven't been that hot anyway. Thus, unless that add Dr. Who back to the Friday lineup, I'll be skipping TV yet another night. buzzard

I really should pick up these DVDs since I really enjoyed the series. I've also read all of the Nero Wolfe books by Stout (and some of those by Goldsborough and agree with the negative assessment of the latter). buzzard

We have a judge who does all the local cons here who had T-shirts printed up. "I was killed by Weeda the Evil and all I got was this T-shirt" buzzard

Actually I have a lot of fun watching Survivorman. He's a trained survivalist. Of course they let him losse with diddly squat in equipment, and the travails are fun to watch as he has to be quite imaginative. buzzard

Went and saw this Saturday. I walk into my normal theatre to find a pretty darned empty house. That kind of thing makes you wonder if it's an omen. It was. This movie was really awful. In many ways it tried to be like Sky High, but really failed miserably. There were occaisional scenes which...

Which is particularly bad since it is hardcopy instead of PDF. buzzard

That seems particularly outrageous considering what Amazon is charging. Here's the meat of the email I got today: The following items have been shipped to you by Amazon.com: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Qty Item Price...

I've only done the vacation thing there (though I do it every year). About the only thing I can tell you, is that if you're a shooter, it's a good state for that. The laws are good, and they have some nice ranges. I know this because on my vacation there every year I visit a range that rents...

I've had Dish for a number of years now (4 maybe). It's been pretty decent overall. I've had some issues with thier customer service people being rather sub par on the IQ scale. I had a heck of a time getting Center Ice ordered last season because the individual from the sub continent on the...

Lupic, still in a state of utter confusion as to what happened will be down for the evening, taking his assigned watch. buzzard

An utterly confused Lupic will continue to swing away at the creature. [hmm, somebody may have to invest in a magic weapon methinks] buzzard

"But why will punch work if grab doesn't?" exclaims Lupic as he tries to punch the thing. buzzard

Lupic doesn't learn real fast. He will attribute the loss of grapple to an oddity and try to engage once more with the grapple. buzzard

Lupic is a simple man. He will follow his instincts and move to engage the creature in a grapple. If he succeeds in this, next round he will move for a pin. This round, therefore, he will get up and move to the creature. That would be his double move. buzzard

Yes, most military equipment is shielded against EMP. In fact as a curious bit of information, the largest wooden structure in the world made without any nails or screws is at Kirland AFB in Albuquerque. This is used by Sandia National Laboratories to test military equipment for EMP hardness. It...

OK a couple of things. First, Denver was always a major nuke target back in the Cold War. Given that we're past that, it might not be as much, but there are still a lot of defense contractors here as well as much of the U.S. Sattelite uplink facilities. The NORAD/Space Command HQ still resides...

Lupic will get up and eat his fill of suasage and then when the others are ready gather his meagre belongings to continue the journey. buzzard

First off don't expect anything as useful as a Eurail pass. We don't have anything quite so simple. Now depending on what you are doing for the year, you will have a number of options. If you are on liesure you can do the priceline.com thing a book tickets at the last moment for flights to...

Lupic will join the others in the tavern and quietly drink ale. As his position in a bar is usually bouncer, he feels a bit out of place being a customer. buzzard

I think you ought o check some numbers before you make claims. even if you didn't like the movie, the box office receipts have been respectable. From the Washinton Post: The Warner Bros. Pictures' big-budget comic book adventure, starring newcomer Brandon Routh, generated $52 million in...
