How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Wow. That's cool. Now, as soon as I figure out how much a quid is, and then budget it in, I'm set! ;)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

1 quid = roughly 1 1/2 bucks, give or take.

(Today's currency conversion is £1=$1.67923, apparently)

All is well that ends in pizza.

RF converters/modulators can be had for around $20 (12 Quid).

Here is a Magnavox one for $ 17.84 at Wal-Mart.com

And a google search turns up many more out there.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

So a quid is a pound?

Yes. Etymology unknown.

Thanks Daniel, that's cheaper than the one at Radio Shack. We were going to get an RCA because that's the same brand as the DVD player and the TV, but I don't think it really matters.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Odd mental image here of someone with a quid of chewing tobacco in their lip...

At dinner I am getting earful.

A Quid? Skoal!

(The Etymology of that little toast will set you back on yer heels, too, me buckos.)

Having watched Trash, I now feel that Joss should pitch a new show for the next fall season. It's a wacky comedy about a husband and wife team that travel around outer space committing various crimes and misdemeanors. At the end of every episode, they double and triple cross each other.

Oh! They could pitch it to Fox with an audience participation element. The TV viewers get to vote on who comes out on top at the end, Mal or YoSafBridge.

I can see the promos now...
