we have that I my work place, but we don't have the guessiing part. And we have a rule that says the gift can't cost more that $20.


That "surprise"gift exchange thing is some sort of a tradition here. On highschools kids usually do this on the last day of school (school year ends in december here), in offices, and within a family xmas celebration (thankfully mine stop doing this). For highschools and offices it's usually a CD or a DVD, never costing more than $15 or $20... The thing I hate is when I pick up someone I don't fully know, and I have to make this little humorous speech before everyone so they can guess who is it, and even being an amateur stand up comediant it's hard to come up material when you JUST DONT CARE!

I have not seen the past 2 halloween specials.

My favorite ones are:

* Khan and Kudos pretend to be Bob Dole and Bill Clinton:

"Abortions for all!"
"BOOO!"
"Okay... Abortions for no one!"
"BOOO!"
"Abortions for some, american flags for others!"
"Yaaaaay!"

Homer: "This false presidential candidates make me want to vomit in terror!"


The 3D Homer:

"Has anyone seen the movie Tron?"

"I wish I have read that book from the guy on the wheelchair!"


The one which Maggie is an alien, and they go to Jerry Springer, and everyone is cursing...

The one with the gypsy curse and Pierce Brosnan playing the HAL-esque home computer:

Homer: "Unless I die... then she would be free to marry man OR machine!"

Marge: "The best thing about being in a gypsy wedding is that I am not the hairest woman here!"

Homer: "Apologising will not bring Bart back..."
Marge: "The gypsy lady said it would!"
Homer: "She is not the boss of me."

Did you get the map coordinates using Google Earth or some other software/website?

Google Earth shows the coordenates based on the mouse pointer location, at the bottom of the map.

Well, my "pin" is also more less in the center of the city and not where I live, but maybe it's better not to point your exact location publicly on the Internet, ya know...


Why? Would anyone use it to bomb me?

* Calling the Russian War Minister, with a phone book on his hand *

"Hi, is this the russian war minister? Cool, listen, I need you to aim all of your nuclear warheads at the following location......"

If so, play it on your computer and press the PrintScrn button (next to F12) during Jabba's death scene, then open Paint and select the "Paste" option. It should bring the screen up.


Sometimes you cannot have a printscreen out of a DVD screen, in which it would show a pink, blue, or black screen instead, when you paste it over a program like paintbrush. That's because the image is sent to the DVD program in a different way, outside the OS I belive - which would make it too slow to show up on the monitor.

I belive some programs do have a printscreen key that allow you to have a file with the present scene though. Windows Media Player allows this on some medias, not sure on DVDs.
