Is this where we start talking salad shooters?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Kristin, there are two convenient methods, either click on the following link:

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Perhaps it should be replaced by a paragraph about DVD regions

I agree.

(that includes mention of video formats)

Why?

Can someone please write this and post it and I'll include it? Because I don't know a thing about it, honestly. And I would probably just screw it up.

Here is what it says now:

Q. NTSC? PAL? Huh?

A. Yeah, we know. Luckily the web is here to tell you everything you ever wanted to know about incompatible international videotape formats.

In the question about how to get DVDs it also has:

PAL-format people, those in the UK, Australia and elsewhere, can buy pretty much everything on Blackstar or Choices Direct.

The only reference to NTSC is:

Americans and Canadians with NTSC VCRs can buy 18 episodes on tape.

Which is going to be deleted.

One last question Jon (yeah right): I am trying to put this together in the most useful way to send to you. Do you want a word doc attach. or just in the body of the e-mail? Any preference?

I'll send you General once we've hammered out the NTCS/PAL question.

No preference.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

I have a question about the names thing. Frankly, I wouldn't mind using my actual name because the Vandalisimo thing is a bit unwieldy for conversation. However, I see that there is a KateP and a Katefate. So, would it still be cool for me to go with Kate or is it too similar to the other two?

I feel like it's a stupid question that I should know the answer to, but I just don't.

You could go by OtherKate!

Which, okay, only I think is nifty sounding.

It's your call. I haven't done a log check to see if we have any Just Kates.
