frankly it's a rip off . . . they've pretty much cornered the market. i was lucky to get the master collection through the business at a hefty discount otherwise i wouldn't even look at it (could buy the IH master collection for the same money)

there are alternatives - Corel, Xara which are actually better in some areas

My sister was denied entry into the JET program.  Now, I can't visit her there. Bummer.

[Beatle]

nah, I could never convert to Corel or Xara, that would be like giving up IH jeans and walking around in GAP denim

I met a dude in full camo today just going into the bush.  He had the scariest cross bow contraption I have ever seen and the tips to the arrows - well they scared the shit out of me too.  When I tentatively pointed at one of the arrow tips, his answer, "Oh yes, that'll stop anything up to a large Bok dead in it's tracks" - A large Bok is bigger than a large cow - holy shit….............

. . . I suppose there'd be an awful lot of dead boks if you had the crossbow given your current state deprived of nicotine

[Giles]

There'd be an awful lot of dead everything…............................

Sonic drive ins are in basically every town in Texas and they sell tater tots (deep fried, of course).  I love that place.

On a related note, anyone who doesn't love fresh hot french fries has a shriveled up raisin for a soul.

On another related note, Well done fries from IN-N-Out are super awesome. They cook it so it's sorta crunchy and never soft.

If you come to the West Coast you should check them out!

Looks like a double-double "animal" style?  I've chomped a few 3x3's and 4x4's that way.  Glad to have these big glommits…

I'm not originally from the west coast so i don't really get the hype over In n' Out… they're just ehh ok to me. The hamburgers are alright but i can't stand the fries. Everyone loves the fries but i think they're weird. Meh.

Today we had a little fire at work. We had to evacuate with some haste. Pissed cause security wouldn't let me run to my office and grab my Iron Heart flannel… she survived, but now stinks. Feck.

To make matters worse, UPS has been held up by all the snow, holding my raw denim western shirt en route from the castle. Double feck!

An extra glass of Pinot Noir tonight...

We have Five Guys Burgers here on the east coast, and they're just as good

I do make a special trip to In and Out Burger every time I'm on the west coast though
