No, alison, as you no doubt suspect, the 'French' correlates very little with the translation provided, and delves more into trains, coconuts, rhyming (in English, anyway) advice about the order of consuming beer and hard liquor, and, an obvious concern for the modern everyman, foot odor as caused by garlic.

thanks for the birthday wishes people, and beck happy 2-hours-pre-birthday to you! I ended up sleeping on my birthday cause I was too damn tired from work... stupid work

I've talked to some of you guys about this but now I'm giving it a date, paintballing on Saturday, May 5th. I figure 4 weeks advance notice is enough of a heads up. anyways, I need numbers and if you say you're coming no bugging out cause it ends up sucking for those who do go, and bring/invite anyone else who'd be interested, the more the merrier.

Saberfalcon beats some 4 legged dude

So once again advancing a bit further. Voting has already ended so hopefully I make it further and if not whatever.

oh, Paras,

is this an accurate translation of "French?"

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me-ee
I gots me a wii!

Well the coolest wife ever gots me a wii!

I saw it this weekend, too, and I'd have to say I lean towards "Planet Terror" instead. Rodriguez, I thought, stayed closer to the spirit of sending up the B-movie, while "Death Proof" seemed too...Tarantino, know what I mean? Though yes, it had a good ending, as well as the moments when you're trying to figure what playing "Ship's Mast" means.

Grindhouse highly recommended. It's tough to decide which of the movies was better, but I'm leaning towards Tarantino's, for the ending. In any case, the whole production is awesome -- spoof trailers, burned film, missing reels and all.

Yeah I unfortunately knew that about HeadOn.

I found a pretty comprehensive collection of open source programs for windows. Just about everything you need.

I missed that bit about how the HeadOn belongs to your Dad. I didn't have him in mind when I was planning out my little...abstract escapade.

By trendy I mean very common. I could be mistaken, but isn't the NHS of Britain exploring the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies? I'm pretty sure most of the trials resulted with little to no difference between the homeopathic treatments and the placebo, but there are people who continue to insist that homeopathic alternatives have an undeniable, positive effect for patients. What, precisely, this positive effect refers to, I'm not sure. I caught a bbc vid stream about it not too long ago.

Did you try gluing things together with the HeadOn?

It's trendy to complain about people whose claims are based on reversing the laws of physics?

Actually, alison, they do say what you use it for, because they have special 'formulations' (which, I gather, means that they have no measurable amount of different compounds in each variety of HeadOn.) They don't, however, have any such information on their website. (I think it's the homeopathic strategy towards information: the lower the concentration of information, the more informative the website is.)

The one my dad had is the "Migraine" version (which is interesting because he doesn't actually get migraines.) There are also sinus and extra strength headache relief versions (naturally, there is no 'regular strength'; contemplating how to formulate such a product might make even their heads explode.)
