It won't matter that it's a 3/4 ton truck if the truck is *empty* and
there's 10,000 lbs poorly distributed on the trailer. Since you are
Utahrds, yeah, do what the mechanic said.

Nope. We'd be saying why wasn't he locked up BEFORE he senselessly
shot a bunch of innocent people. After all, why didn't anyone notice
all that crazy "virtual violence" "Too Many Tools" had ejaculated all
over the INTENET before he actually shot someone? LOCK UP THE "TOOL"

The town celebrates its birthday once every five years. But what a

No... Jesus has chosen Sarah Palin to insure the Republican Party will
burn in Hell for its sins.

It said so on a bathroom wall in Texas so it must be true.

Thats why you download the various songs...there are freebies that allow
you to record all those songs so you can store them on your puter..and
simply enjoy them <G>.....and not worry about the bullshit that went on
behind the scenes.

<G>

Ive got about 17 gigs of music on my main computer drive and about
double that on the backup drive that everyone in the house shares.

I pick and choose, put into a play list and depending on my mood...play
a shitload of hours of whatever Im into at the moment. I have the same
on an old laptop out in the shop..so Im never without music.

What you don't understand is the difference between between true composition
(music) and mega-arranged mega-produced mega-amplified I-IV-V chords.
Take all that bullshit away from bullshit music and you are left with
bullshit.
Good composition can be whistled, and still be extraordinary.

You think that when you take a piss, that 18" shadow of your 3" dick is its
real size.

Oh, and Genius, PDQ Bach has nothing to do with Loussier's Play Bach series.

Crom no! I would have stabbed her..I had about 4" sticking out of the
backside..and about 3" sticking out the palm side. When I wrote
