Gundark, check Itchy's link. They have a bunch of international titles as well.

I pray that the child has her husband's last name. Cocoa Arquette would be so much better than Cocoa Cox. Sounds like a bad breakfast cereal. One of the funniest things I remember regarding Courtney Cox was an interview that Andy Dick gave to a Chicago radio station. He was asked if he had ever turned down a role that he regretted. He said he was offered the role that David Arquette had in the Scream movies. He's upset about it because he now realizes that he would be married to Courtney Cox and her name would be Courtney Cox-Dick as a result. I'm no Andy Dick fan, but that was damn funny.

I hate some of the names that celebrities give to their kids. Apple for Gwyneth Paltrow/Chris Martin's daughter? What the hell is that?

That is a definite possibility. But I think that both references are so unlikely to be made that the name is safe regardless. Unlike Leia. With that spelling, it's destined to evoke SW imagery. Hell, I've got the name BOSSK on my license plate and only one person in 8 years has made the connection. I think Bossk is more likely to be tied to SW than Jaina.

I think the Energizer bunny actually started in the 80s. But I could be wrong.

I remember reading a fake proposal some years back that the Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Saints should just swap names. Stay in the same cities, but swap names. Utah Saints and New Orleans Jazz make so much more sense.

But I'm also of the opinion that the St. Louis Blues should be a Chicago name. Chicago is the home of the blues. If not literally, then figuratively as well in terms of sports conquests of late.

Why is Calgary Flames not relevant? What does the name refer to?

US $20. We had bought one back in June at CostCo Wholesale Club for $65. Same brand and size. Can't say no to this deal.

Hear hear. And the salt and pepper shakers are molded to look like a napkin holder and ketchup/mustard bottles so far as pictures I've seen indicate.

The thing that cracks me up about the wake-up calls for Target is that they were supposed to be timed for 6 a.m. when the sale actually started. People were lined up well before that time. So much for headway.

But you'd have to spell it Jason to be consistent with the whole Jason and the Argonauts. At least in English that's the spelling.

Jaina is a pretty normal name. Mara works. Leia works as well. If you are concerned with them receiving SW taunts, then respell them. Leah is a very normal name and spelling. One of my old college roommates was named Leah (yes, female).

But if you go to that site, make sure to look for 300dpi covers. Anything less will look pixellated even on the best printer. It's a crapshoot to find 300 dpi covers, but they do exist on that site. I downloaded a couple for some movies I got as freebies from Pizza Hut (or was it Dominos?) and I was actually able to sell them as used DVDs to a store they were that high a quality scan.

My wife and I bought an old arcade flashback collection for PS2, the throwback 8-Bit Nintendo controller for the PS2, Will & Grace season 1, Mean Girls, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a 256MB MemoryStick for our digicam, Family Guy volume 1, and Dawson's Creek season 4.

Expensive day.

Sessler, bought the Seinfeld sets seperately. Didn't have much need for the extra stuff. Besides, once the additional sets come out, keeping the first couple sets in the big gift box will look awkward next to the others.

The NFC is all kinds of messed up this year. To think that with the piss-poor record the Bears have, they really are only three games out of first place in the NFC North. How fubar'd is that?

Honestly, Motti, I'd rather be able to look out the window and see Denmark than be given the "privilege" of a Stormtrooper wake-up call.

Wouldn't surprise me either. What I'm wondering about right now is the historical accuracy of this depiction. I'd swear I heard somewhere before the movie was even in preproduction that Alexander was bi. I just can't remember where I read or heard it.

965.2 pages of boredom, eh? Apparently. He's that bored that he came up with a decimal equivalent for that last page. Yikes. Remind me to stay away.

Just a note, you can try to sell it on Amazon.com Marketplace used.

What's Radio Erewan? And is it supposed to be spelled "Erehwon"?

I ask about the spelling because we used to have a small chain of outdoors stores here in upper Illinois that was called Erehwon which is the word Nowhere backwards.

You have to e-mail them to Jay. We've had several threads about this in the past. We really should just lock one on the page so it doesn't disappear. The upload function hasn't worked in a year or so. You can find Jay's e-mail on the homepage somewhere. Any of the usernames at originaltrilogy dot com will go to him.
