Can Grisabella finish performing "Memories" on-key while dodging thrown tomatoes and boots?

Can't do link from studio, but combineing work and game inteigues & scares me.

Pete, you say not to ship the hard drive? Good to know. What was the cause of yours and cost for repair? Too bad about no HDMI, I was wondering same thing. It would be nice!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I was envisioning playing Jesus Christ Superstar with more firepower. Dang.

I had something similar in mind:

TapDancingJaysus: Dood. I can't find my way out of Pontius' Palace and I'm all out of holy powerups!

KeengofKeengz: Go across the swimming pool.

TapDancingJaysus: Thx!

JudasRox: Noob!

When you get the email which links to the printable label for UPS ground, you'll also receive info on what to do with your 360. In short, do not include any cables or the hard drive.

As for cause... what, you think Microsoft actually bothers with communication? Craxyhead. I never learned the cause and I don't think they did either. They probably took one look at the note I included with the box and decided it was cheaper to replace it than spend a week testing it.

As for cost, I bought the extended 3 year warranty with my box, so it cost me zero.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We're getting a wii! Hey, I've been to Disneyland, but I've never played a wii. We have Zelda and Metroid coming. Wii owners, what are your favorite games? (I don't think I can afford wii fit... yet.)

Today's bewildering Xbox Live encounter: I made a new rock band av named "Tommy Snake." (He's punk.) Live banned the name as not family friendly. At least they allow my gamertag (ZoneWombat) which they used to block.

not your mom's socks.

I guess a band named Hole would be unpossible then.
