Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks guys!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

They're getting rid of secondary profiles, so there will only be able to be one queue per account.

Ah. Well, that's a shame. It will muddy up the process for people with kids (for example.)

Yes, my sister is not going to be happy about this at all. However, I am because the fact that you couldn't delete a profile once it was created was driving me crazy.

Our wings are not tired.

I didn't get that e-mail! That sucks entirely. Enough to probably have me cancel my account. It's really important for me and my housemate to have different queues.

ETA: I just checked the Netflix site and there is no mention of this. Can someone forward the e-mail to me please?

I recall there being some discussion of pay-as-you-go cellphones in the thread. My search-fu is not working, though, so can someone Nilly me, or can we have the talk again? I am ready to join the modern world and get a cell phone, but I want to go cheap and infrequent-use as I start out.

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 (and some other folks here) like the Virgin pay-as-you-go service: [link]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have T-Mobile pay as you go and like it fine.
