    This is Truth. Now explain why one wants to consume a drug which has its active ingredient removed. EDIT: and explaining sudo and rm, saving me from typing 8,000 words and prating about *n*x in particular and probably CPU instruction sets in general.

    I went through three of those buses, one in Europe, one in Africa, one in Texas, albeit only one was a Westphalia, and all in 60's and early 70's. The flat-4 air-cooled engine was a Porsche Sr. design intended for small aircraft, and one of the great engines ever made, used in both buses and Beetles. American mechanical maintenance was a disaster, though. Keeping #3 cylinder's valves adjusted was a once-a-month fifteen minute job, but had to be done with the engine stone-cold, not just cooled off. Do that and it runs forever. Pop on the 1600cc jugs, and run 70-80mph all day at 30mpg.

    Username and all. There's a difference between holding a grudge and remembering, and acting on, lessons learned. I sometimes feel bad for Mack and his lifetime battle against being less loved than his brother, even ignored, by his Mom and Dad. It's sad, really... But it doesn't excuse his overall behavior. And it sure as hell doesn't mean I - or any of us - should put aside what we've learned about him, and it doesn't mean we should forgive and/or forget. I don't, and I won't. Fuck Mack Brown.

    Thank you. I might have listened to it - or some of it, anyway - but thanks to you and some others, I didn't have to. In retrospect, I probably wouldn't have, because you're right, these "media availability" sessions are almost universally worthless, and at least half of them have such poor handling of the acoustics that one cannot understand more than a word or two of the questions. I'm not sure why about half of them are even allowed inthe room.

    To me, the most surprising thing about Elko is not that he played at Penn (the Ivy League one, not the rhythmic slapping sounds one), but that this gigantic, morbidly obese tub of guts played... wait for it... Safety. I suppose that having watched Mangino expanding his influence at Kansas, as a former OU Quarterback, should mitigate Elko's impact, but somehow it just doesn't.

    Whoa! You mean Kevin is the real-life That Guy?

    Because whenever most of us say it, it's fucking LOUD. It's also nearly always followed by ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND!?!?!?

    Check the REF Assignments thread. Also answers the question "Whi is that asshole not calling PI?"

    It's not just conference but the folks. Always interesting to answer that question, "Who is that asshole?"

    You spelled "Boom" incorrectly.

    If only someone would post some statistics that could show us whether the failures are due to our QB being a choker, or his teammates not supporting him on one or the other - or both - sides of the ball, or the QB coach being worthless, or the non-existent OC and or the gameday Play Caller not calling plays that the QB can actually execute, or the HC generating shit strategic game plans... or what? Meanwhile, we seem to be heavily favored to win the first of the last three games we need to claim the Big Trophy. If only we had some stats...

    Venables gonna fuck around and shit on the O's confidence. Hate to see it. Not.

    Like To Sway is a good name for an a cappella group, but not so much for a guitar band.

    Bought my daughter a 240Z in around '85 or so. It was a hella fine little car. TI for the win. But not a calculator as such, more of a math trainer. The FORTRAN compiler was shit, although Pascal was decent. Sorry for the derail, but aggy talk gets boring, and sometimes even music talk can't save it.

    Did they used to be the Johnson Twins?

    As Beavis might say, heh heh. You wrote "succumb". Heh heh. Heh heh heh. It seems like "succumb" could mean "opens her purse and lets me use my balls for a while".
