just as long as you all come to accept that IM always right, this little democracy will work out just fine. Happy New Year everyone! Here's to new fodder for debate!

the old adage used to be that the easiest way to assemble confusing Ikea furniture was to find a 12yo kid and get him to do it. kinda takes on a whole new meaning now. the original SNL skit is hilarious. this thing really seems to have caught on. ive already gone thru five boxes. Grandma loved her gift this year.

ive been reading a couple of other online music communities / forums recently and i couldnt help but notice how nasty they can get. its like some posters lay in waiting to pounce as soon as someone mis-steps. its much nicer here. Happy New Year everyone!

... for my daily dose of piss and vinegar. no, please folks, tell us what ya really think. dont hold back. i love it!

try Rolling Thunder in Hamilton, on King near Mac. they can do this sort of stuff, but its outrageously expensive. re: the freezer trick - it's usually a one shot deal, with the freezing having the effect of minutely contracting the thickness of the cylinders, temporarily allowing clearance of the head - and the ability to read. as things heat back up, you lose that clearance and risk further damage. and make sure u put the HDD (not the whole computer!) in a static free bag while its in the freezer (for at least 2 hours). laptop HDD's are more successful due to the speed at which you can hook it back up and try. i had a HDD failure on my laptop last year and my IT dept at Mac tried this, but it didnt work - I lost a bunch of concert pics. good luck, i feel your pain.

oh gawd, no

yes, and tragically the city will remain that drab grey devoid of panache and style

He's not gay. really? im assuming that this means his opponent is gay and that ottawa didnt want a gay mayor? wowser.

Trudeau said it was like a mouse sleeping next to an elephant

GET THE HELL OUT OF THE BUILDING!! IT'S GONNA BLOW!

yours wont have wires, tho'

well, that may look good on my resume (hehe), but I had my money on Homer Simpson, again.

oh so true. guys that masterbate while standing up at a show are soooo inconsiderate. sit down like the rest of us, eh.

why did he get elected? why did people vote for him?

... nevermind ... Nominated

i've run into ernest anastasio couple of times. i gotta get me a cottage ...

read: we can rape their resources. :crazy:

oh, who cares what he's saying. he could say he's in favour of sending monkeys to mars to search for water (with which i concur) but unless actual legislation is tabled, none of it means jack-sh$t. politics is talking out of the side of one's mouth, almost by definition. i just liked the idea, that's all.

politics and toothlessness aside, it's a good idea. the senate should be elected.

strange time of year to miss the road. i prefer summer. winter's too unpredictable

do you think the buzz will still be around / as high after their tour?

you may have something there, hux. guess when my MP was first elected :crazy: and d, "dead wood" is putting it kindly.

well, my MP finally voted as her constituents want, and is today counted in the Nay column on this silly motion. I like to think that my constant pestering over the years had some impact on her changing her mind. of course, it didnt, i know that, but hey, one can dream, riiiiight?

i prefer serving the neighbours' kids to the rats

funny, that. i hadnt noticed. i posted the memorial yesterday after I wandered out to see if the flags were lowered at the university i work at. and yes, they were. the whole thing was, and still is, pretty powerful. and when i see so many young women here with engineering jackets on or just wandering around campus, i take comfort knowing that the Montreal 14 did not die in vain. thanks for your hard work and dedication, Jane.
