Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yeah, we used to use Web Trends, then we switched hosts and they ran Web Trends reports for us, then we took the hosting in-house and ... didn't have anything. There's nothing in the budget and our web tech support company had some time left in our allotted hours. So ....

Thanks again again!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I used my TomTom GPS unit for the first time yesterday, and HOLY CRAP it is awesome.

There were a few confusing places where, say, the computer was telling me to get on Interstate 478, which is what nobody on earth except the TomTom computer apparently calls the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel. And then it kept saying "Triboro Branch" instead of Triboro bridge, which was adorable.

Dylan has named it Borgie.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yes, but do you have Snoop Dogg giving you directions, Jess?

I was all set to install a custom voice until I realized that the custom voices won't give street names (they just say "turn left in 2 miles").

That's a shame, but it makes sense.

But still! Snoop! In your car, giving directions! That amused me endlessly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want Samuel Jackson giving directions.

"Turn left, motherfucker! Left!"

And if you miss a turn:

"English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

That would be worth getting Tom Tom for. I bought the Samuel Jackson iphone app. yes I did.

There's a Samuel Jackson iPhone app?

Also, what's the service called that sits on a domain name and snatches it up the second that it expires?

eta: Never mind this bit, I should have searched the thread before I asked, since this question was discussed in APRIL headdesk
