Yes, I'm watching the C's play the Mavs right now. As for the PSP, I'll probably end up getting one, but not anytime soon. As for Carl's "thrifty-ness", he doesn't have any. Forget his car, get him to tell you about his bankruptcy. Random Thought: A wight with Cleric levels would be a really nice, really challenging encounter, but it's too high of an EL for the Drowned Temple game. That probably wouldn't stop Carl, but it will stop me. But I'm planning on running a higher level one-shot after we play Drowned Temple, so I've filed that idea under 'H', for toy. “Big Al” Jefferson rocks.

Suck it long, and suck it hard. Criticism coming from a pair of hippified yuppies who drive supposedly german cars built in freakin' Mexico doesn't mean much. ;) The Volkswagen has shitty legroom, and the engine noise (at least in both your cars) is way more noticeable than in mine). I like midsize cars. They're comfortable and don't trigger claustrophobia. And when I want a mid-life crisis car, I'm sure it'll just be a nicer midsize. Or maybe another SUV. uh huh. Suck it.

Haven't read it, but I read the previous 4 in the series. That and 'Dragon's Tear' are the only King books I like. And yes, he's a derivative hack. The Treo is nice, I admit. Nicer than the Sidekick. But it cost you $300. I would rather have my SKII and cushion its enormous size with the $350 savings (I MADE $50 on the deal through rebates). It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all...... Lyrics suck. :) Yes you should have. It took him over a year to replace his laptop. But this IS a hackable gaming rig with some sort of masturbation attachment*, so maybe a few weeks? I would consider buying one only because OSX is pretty-fied UNIX. But I'll have to wait and see how R&D does with the hyper-mega-cool two-button mouse. :) *NOTE: Masturbation Attachment is not licensed by Sony.

Damn, that's pretty good stuff. I always show up for the opening band anyway, but now I have to make sure we're not even a little bit late. Yes, it does. King is a derivative hack.
