My brother lives in a "holler" down in West Virginia or Kentucky somewhere, and he had to run lines up the side of a small mountain from his house to a self-built tower for his internet. He's now basically functioning as an ISP for his neighbors.

Apparently, when my father came over a few days ago, he was futzing around with the light switch that controls the lights over the stove and counter - the switch burned out years ago and the old man removed it, but couldn't remember which wires went to which part of the switch when he went to...

"No Man's Land (The Green Fields of France)" by Eric Bogle I will never be able to sing that song all the way through... Green Day's "Time of Your Life" Doesn't make me cry or anything, but does have a particular significance... The first time I heard that song was at Rocky Horror - one of...

I'm 52 years old and still live in the house my father built the year before I was born. I've been constantly repairing it since I was a child. Nobody needs to move on more than I do... :p

By trophies, you mean the six cords that still work despite being Frankensteined together in multiple places? :p

In other news, the old man came over the house the other day to putter around, and in the course of three hours or so managed to lose his glasses, chop through an extension cord, and mess with the pressure on the water pump enough to un-fix the leak he 'fixed"... Seventeen... Seventeen. That...

Didn't we already have this discussion about how it's illegal to clone hot actresses and supermodels for "entertainment purposes"? :p

Well, it's got a good soundtrack...

As the joke goes, I don't think you'd fit in them...

Well, I am a little bit hungry... Movies that far back? Actually, nope - the compression wasn't good enough to store that much data on one side... The film came out in '91, and dvds started getting made in '96, so it would have been one of the relatively early movies released on dvd.

You can't fire me, I don't work here. I just wandered in off the street and decided to stick around because there was coffee.

Empire was the first one I got to see in a theatre - I was only 5 when the original came out. However, back when I was doing Rocky Horror, the owner of one of the theatres where we performed was an FoC (friend of cast), and one day he rented a print of A New Hope and played it solely for the...

Well, they're all made-up reasons, really... It's just that some were made up by the person doing the firing, and some were made up by the guy getting fired. :p

Gawds, I can't stand when people do that... :mad: They end up sabotaging their own causes because they can't pull their heads out of their own issues... The fight ends up being more important than the result. (Y'know, I once had to knock out a drunk friend of mine because he wanted to fight...

For the next few days I am self-identifying as an inanimate object.

Clearly, you work in customer service... :p

I've said it before, but in a better world I would have a well-paying job going around smacking stupid people upside the head with a plank...

Y'know, every time I see a list of foods CT is "famous for" or that are supposedly traditional favorites or something, half the time I barely know anybody that actually eats them... Well, I am a trained actor and amateur vocal mimic... (You've never known cognitive dissonance until you've...
