Down shifting

I agree with you that the WebTV users *can* do some things...but they won't...at least most won't. That's why they spent about $175 on the setup and then get a blurry picture from an average TV. They want it to be *easy*. They (most, I'm speaking of), don't care to take the time to learn computer techniques. They want to plug it up and go. Some have hell making a WebTV work, I know one that did. Took him over a year to use a cellphone...and that's just to make a call and answer. He still hasn't figured out how to retrieve his messages from it, and I just gave up and said RTFM. He's a perfect example of what the majority of WebTV'ers are with electronic devices.

Well dUH. (Engine, only if you rev it and actually, not the transmission so much as the clutch.

Sorry, I should have said: Webtv's fault for making it difficult for morons.

You expect him to read the instructions? He probably didn't even read the owners manual for the car he's destroying by downshifting.

So true. Even the commercials for webtv show a glassy-eyed moron saying how easy it is to "sit in my comfort zone".

If you refer to the exerpt above. His spelling is correct. Did he mean to say "you are command of our language"? I think not. Don't correct Typos if you are going to be doing it with the pencil hanging out of your arse.

Do you have a hat with two beer can holders with straws?

He was referring to the error he corrected 'yer' to you're. You should not try to correct ones posting if your own head is up YOUR ass. =)

I was refering to 'Yer'. Of course, you snipped it.

It's ASS, dipshit.

He corrected Your, to you're though, which was really bad.

Also, in the case of the quoting. He posted

"So we hop over the fence and start looking. I figured I'd mentally follow the trajectory of the ball and try to calculate where it might have gone, and it happens to go directly to this cow standing there.

"I walk up to the cow and lift her tail and sure enough there's my wife's golf ball stuck in the cow's butt. So I turn around and yell 'Hey honey, this looks like yours!'.

"And that's the last thing I remember."

that is a nice save.

Can't rant after reading that.

Because I know it in my heart to be true. I don't even have to have any statistics to back it up. I know what I feel when I use the things I've mentioned. I've even gotten out of a cell phone contract years back because I complained of the headaches it gave me. They cancelled my contract with very little resistance. They must have wanted what I was saying to remain our little secret. Google the brain cancer (neuroblastoma) rates in this country and the world while you're at it. Smoking rates are going down yet cancer is increasing. Lie to yourself if you want to. It'll be our little secret...8>)       Charles Charles. Your fears are running your life. But this does not preclude the probability that things with green eyes and perhaps even black helicopters are watching you. Really. I've summoned them to watch your every move. You can't escape. We are Borg. Resistance if futile. You will be assimilated.

Radiation would explain much.
