I have a few for you as well.

They are hopping to have a PDF in about 2 months. A lot of the instructions for the S&M 2nd Edition will apply to the new disc.

I think you missed my central point.

I was trying to coax an invite out of you to come and see this new projector in action when you buy it.

Movie party at Wendell's house!

Imagine Donster, Vilya, Octagon and myself in the same room! You better just keep the guest list for Vilya Wendell.

Oh, that’s easy. The Editor, Mr Autocorrect, The Shadow and The Ghost Whisperer

As long as there’s a Mr in front of it we’re good

Yeah, that would make for a boring party. Half of our time would be spent explaining the joke or asking why you’re crying? We were only kidding

I doubt you would ask me that.

Listen, if your skin is literally translucent online I can only imagine how anemic it is in person. Besides, I’d never disrespect another persons house while I was a guest. That’s what bars are for. Manners maketh man after all.

Total side note. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to store my son’s DVD/BD collection? He just turned around 10 and feels he’s outgrown a lot of his cartoon series and movies, but wants to keep them. So between this and his toys they’ll be making a trip up to the attic eventually. Thoughts?

Hopefully, the attic is climate controlled. I would not store them in any location subject to large changes in temperature or humidity. I'd keep the discs in their original cases and put those into an opaque plastic storage bin.

I get the first two nicknames readily enough. If you had the difficulties typing that I do, you might understand why I edit so much. It's mostly to correct typos and punctuation mistakes. And to add a few stylistic enhancements.

I don't think I am guilty of all that often, but if by The Shadow you mean the superhero, I can live with that, mostly.



I can't say that I have any ability to see ghosts; that would be so cool! But...



far too often and I don't mean when looking into a mirror, either.

I don't think the party would be boring at all, but with all our "discussions" we'd probably miss most of the movie's dialog.

I am usually well behaved when I am a guest in someone's home; I'm even house broken!

Hope you are not calling me dumb. Seriously I do.

I wasn't.

Just for future reference, not everything is about you.

For Steedeel or any UK readers.

Click here for Panasonic DP-UB9000 rack mount kit. I can convert £’s to $’s, as in £115 = $144. Do I have to add the VAT of £95.83 ($118.92) to the purchase price?

Thanks for that.

Well, whoever it’s aimed at, that’s not jokey banter. That’s s straight up insult.

I think you missed the question about the VAT!!

No, it isn't. It was a broad comment about no one in particular.

I tell you directly in my reply that it was not aimed at you and you're offended, anyway.

When it is my intention to insult a specific person, I make it plain and I make it obvious. I do not waste my time or energy being vague. When I tease you, have I not been direct in doing so? Was there ever any doubt about whom I was referencing?

It was just a joke about the number of cognitively challenged people that I encounter among my contacts with the general population and of the incredulously stupid human activities that I learn about through the news. The gif I posted was made for the explicit purpose of making just such a joke about the vast number of idiots we all have to deal with.

Considering the derogatory comments that you have made about millenials alone, calling them all "snowflakes" and worse, you have no moral authority with which to criticize anyone for making all encompassing generalized remarks. The comment that I made, unlike yours, singled out no one person, or group, specifically.

You really need to see a proctologist and have that stick, and your entire skull, pulled out of your arse. See? There's an example of a specific and unambiguous insult made solely for your edification. Here's a bonus prize for playing: For the record, you are more hyper sensitive and delicate than any "snowflake" I could ever imagine meeting.

Will have closer look when I’m on my tablet.
