I can't remember before I was born. The history books paint a picture fascinating events and characters before 1970 but I can't remember them so I must have been bored at the time. Since being born I have very rarely been bored and while I continue to remain in this state I intend to stay alive for as long as possible. I have one question for TV's Frink :

If you are married, have kids, employed and working on a video edit, how have you managed to keep your hands so soft while washing pans?

LOL, this doesn't even make any sense.

Borders bookseller faces bankruptcy
Time

On a radio show I was listening to (The Tom Hartmann Show) they were talking about the differences between France and other European countries internet compared to Americas. They said what we pay $100 for in America they are paying $30 for in Europe. I think they excluded the UK from this. But it looks like Adywan is paying a little less than what the states pay. Is this cable, DSL, or wifi Adywan? I also heard their cell phone providers don't have 2 year contracts and if you are not happy with your provider you can just swap the SIM card for a different provider and their cell phone plans are better too.  

How do you guys reply to multiple quotes at once? I'm only familiar with replying to one quote at a time and I delete text from the quote if I want to focus in on a particular thing they said. Is there a better way to do this?

I almost never buy books. I feel I already pay enough for my internet connection. People in Europe pay a third what we pay for internet and their speeds are a lot faster. If I want to read about something or lookup something, I usually turn to the internet and that usually more than satisfies what I wanted to read. In the last 5 years the internet has really gotten diverse enough to feed most people's reading needs. It still is nice to have a book to read in bed though.

When I go into bookstores I always just take the books/magazines/newspapers I am interested in and read them there and then put them back when I'm done. That's usually the only time I have to read them anyways. When I get home I usually forget about them so it really doesn't pay for me to buy them. I like my local Barns & Noble a little bit better than my local Borders. I haven't gone to either of them very much in the past few years, but I used to go to a Barns & Noble after school almost every day. I had a hard time finding particular titles at both Borders and Barns & Noble. Even if I did find something I liked, I would rarely buy it there because bookstores sell at premium retail prices and even with discounts are still cheaper online. But sometimes I did buy things here just to feel like I was supporting them for all the times I went in to sit and enjoy their environment and not buy something.

I don't know if my local Borders is closing, but I think I will go to there tomorrow and see if it is closing and see if there are good closeout buys and then try to flip them on ebay for a higher price.

I'm leaving for awhile
Time

I'm not admitting to anything, I'm innocent until proven guilty. Before I am banned (if they care) I would like to ask an unrelated question. I am studying this cisco curriculum, (cisco.netacad.net)

http://itt.century.edu/Cisco/CCNA/en_ERouting_v40_Linux/index.html

I am currently on CCNA II Routing protocols and concepts. I try to study, it's just this Cisco curriculum I am required to read right now is so damn boring. I'll sit and read it for 2 hours and then go take the quiz/Packet Tracer and realize I haven't learned anything. I can't print it out, I went to a bookstore to see if I could buy it in paper copy so I could highlight it and write on it etc., but it is not the same and it would be better for me to just read the online version. Has anyone else taken this program by chance? Do you have any suggestions for studying tactics/strategies of this boring piece of crap?

Moth3r ignored me so I can't pm her. I suppose I could pm Jay but he kind of scares me. I'm okay with being banned at this point. I have no interest in coming back. I will miss your reactions TV's Frink.

By the way mods, if you're thinking about blocking my IP address, I am on a public wifi network so if you block the router IP address, you will also block originaltrilogy.com for everyone else on this network. I don't even think I will come back for the blu-rays at this point. There is already enough people who feed my opinions about my thoughts of George Lucas and LFL in general.

I'm really getting tired of you guys assuming I am a sock. When I come back in September (this is a question for you too, mods) would it be okay if I make a new user account? I will remain anonymous and I will not reveal who I am, if you find out who I am so be it, but just pretend I'm new. Is there a way to change your username? Mods, would it be possible for you to change it for me to something anonymous? Could you guys just pretend I'm new so I can start with a clean slate without making a new account?

Before I leave I would like to say that I apologize to those that I irritated. I have to admit that my spontaneity and immaturity gets the better of me on online forums sometimes.

If and when I come back in September, can you guys forget about what happened in the past? Could you put all this sock suspecting and resentment towards me behind us?

Another reason why I am leaving is because I am trying to sell things on ebay and I haven't been getting to it because I am spending too much time on here. I was thinking, is it ok for me to post links to my ebay auctions on here? I'm trying to sell things on ebay and I was wondering if it would be ok if I link my auctions here and ask people if they are interested in certain things?

This has gotten pretty boring so I think I am going to retire from this forum until the blu-rays come out. I have hardly been doing any homework this semester and I have been cheating on this one test. But I even admitted to the teacher that I am cheating and he said he didn't care because I am only cheating myself. I just have one more question for TV's Frink:

If you are married, have kids and employed, how have you found so much time to be on this forum?

I say we let Jedi Tray back in because he was so funny.

My High School Experience Sucked
Time

DuracellEnergizer said:

I never got to graduate from high school; an increasingly-irate relationship with a girl I was infactuated with lead to my expulsion.

Not that I would have graduated anyway; in this stupid part of Canuckistan you can't graduate without raking up points from doing some 24-odd hours of work experience first.

Canuckistan, are you referring to Canada? So you didn't graduate high school because of a girl? How's life going? Would you mind elaborating on this story, sounds tasty.

 Doesn't sound so bad. Here in California there are lots of kids who graduate, are not college bound, and don't even know what an honest day of work looks like.

I've heard nothing but good things about California schools. I heard tuition there is the lowest in the country. I heard until Ronald Reagan community college was free in that state. Is that true? I don't know about universities and four year colleges.

I know there's a lot of millionaire daddy's out there that buy their daughter's anything they want and I mean anything. They buy them all the plastic surgery and breast implants they want and if they smash their sports car, no problem, they just go out and buy another one, no consequences or discipline.

Rejected Prequel Titles
Time

I thought the title for Episode I was really cool, "The Phantom Menace." I don't know why people don't like it? It described the movie perfectly. But then again episode 2 and 3 could have applied that title too since they all were a mystery in plot. I hated "Attack of the Clones," and "Revenge of the Sith" is okay, but I would have preferred "Rise of the Empire" and I would have preferred the movie to revolve around more of a convincing story on how the Empire rose instead of a mess of stuff wasted.

I do step away from the computer every once in awhile...

I don't follow why you said this? TV's Frink,  I assume that you are in your 60s, retired and you spend most of your time at originaltrilogy.com? Nothing wrong with that imo, originaltrilogy is a great place to spend your retirement. I don't know this for sure but I noticed that you're already married and by your tone I can tell you're old. But at one point you said that you think you're underpaid? Is your pension too low or is this just a rhetorical statement?
