Something I should ask, I got a phone call from an agent last SUNDAY @ 10:13am, I took the call and I am told spoke to him/her/it(?) for around a half hour. The down side of this was I was recovering from a Saturday the marked a friends 40th (alcohol + curry + alcohol) anyone else been bother by an agent on a Sunday morning....

He called during church to see if you're religious.
Whether or not you passed the test is entirely dependent upon his belief system.
Good luck.

I did not think of that, might be why I have heard nothing since!

If he called on a Sunday at 10, and you answered on a Sunday at 10... the probability is high that you are of a the same mindset regarding religion.

Not if he's in a different time zone.

Quite the sneaky way to get around discrimination laws, I guess.

I was still partly drunk, I seem to remember saying 'moslty' (ala Newt Aliens) so it can't have been my best...

Found Eastwood's "Fist Full of Dollars" trilogy (DVD) at a book store today.
I'll pick up a pizza and a 2 liter coke on the way home tonight.
Looks like the weekend is all set.

Should your run out of Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns, and if you don't mind subtitles, there's a considerable number of post WW II Japanese made movies with Samurais. Of the same genre as Seven Samurai.
Available on streaming video in a location near you.

I just picked up a Gamera Collection from Amazon. 11 (really awful) movies for only $9. It will be proudly displayed on the shelf next to my Godzilla collection.

Just a day ago, I watched part of "A Fistful of Dollars", LOL, it only came to my mind because I was watching Back to the Future II before and was curious where that western scene that is playing on Biff's TV actually originates from. Have to watch it again in full-length (I was partly occupied with PC work the other day), no comparison how movies are made today, compared to the too fast cutting nowadays this one seems to be playing in slow-motion.
Off-topic: Speaking about Back to the Future, it's still one of the best geeky science ficition movie (trilogy) out there. Watching it from today's perspective, it amazingly feels like you were watching footage or documentary about the Moon landing and the Apollo missions, and all the time you ask yourself: "Hell, how did they manage to go up there with this primitive, stone-age kind of technology?" And all of that just with the amount of 1.21 gigawatts!

I'm ready for mine - loaded up 200 rounds of 9mm Luger for the range tomorrow. Along with a couple hundred rounds each of .243 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield, I'm loaded for bear. Unfortunately, I'll have to settle for punching little round holes in sheets of paper, since bear isn't in season, and no one's seen one within 200 miles in 100 years. I might even take the old AK-47 out to play, since ammo is again plentiful and cheap. Last week I got an email offer for 1000 rounds at $213. Heck, I can't even reload them for that price!
The afternoon and evening will be spent watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt I & II on ABC. If that doesn't hold my interest, I'll head across the creek for a Prime Rib buffet at the casino. Sometimes, life is good!

When adding comments to a thread lounge, is it really so wrong to throw a bit of gasoline onto the fire; or lit matches into the gasoline?
I mean, if the day's going slow on the real-world side of the screen, why not liven things up on the other side?

But, as you may notice from the next reply following yours.
Trolling is trolling is certainly true - but is it trolling?
From a troll's point of view, isn't complaining about their trolling trolling?
(oh my - an opportunity for recursion - must resist. must resist)

You need a pretty strict definition for it, though, or just about any contribution to a discussion that prolongs or extends it could be termed trolling.

Jeeze, that's trolling, if I ever saw it!
Demanding strict definitions or strict adherence to definitions is a typical troll tactic!
Where's the "Abuse" button?

Nope: it is not only acceptable but expected. No fun in bland.

If you need to ask the question: "is it wrong for me, or, is it wrong for us ?" you are lost.
