gorgorbalabala, there definitely was a game called Zaxxon. It took all my allowance away from me when I was 11 years old.

In "Hot Sauce for kids?"

Searching is for wimps.

In "Curious. George is naked!"

the quidnunc kid is beautiful. Each post he makes brightens my day like a ray of golden sunshine. As for this naked guy, keep an eye on him. Perhaps he'll get a thighmaster or gravity boots or play the cello, etc. providing fodder for obvious one-liners for you and your friends.

In "Curious George: Hot wings recipes please -"

Fes' recipe is almost the same as mine, except I add the hot sauce and vinegar first, simmer for a couple of minutes (open the window!), then add butter and a pinch of sugar, whisk until melted.

In "Tell me what to like, O' djinni!"

boo radley, you've made me very sorry about your discs not making it out during the first MoFi CD Swap.

In "Curious George: What is in turkey pastrami?"

Slightly off topic - Another Ottawa monkey here and I'll second a recommendation of The Sausage Kitchen. It's recently become my favourite place to have lunch. The sausages are great, but so is the schnitzel, perogies, etc. On topic - I believe turkey pastrami is usually made using thigh meat, although this changes depending on who's making it. Some producers will use breast meat, while some commercial manufacturers will use mechanically separated turkey. The only way to know what's in your pastrami is to find out who makes it and contact them. Since you said you buy from Whole Foods, I wouldn't worry too much, they're trying to build a reputation selling high quality, organic foods and I doubt they would sell a product containing mechanically separated poultry. Here's an interesting article profiling Whole Foods Market and the president John Mackey.

In "Kopi Luwak"

My comment wasn't a bug, it stems from this thread and a comment in this thread made by the quidnunc kid. I wonder what kopi luwak would taste like with argon oil in it? /sometimes my jokes are only funny to me.

In "Great Hackers"

I loved this quote: "Because you can't tell a great hacker except by working with him, hackers themselves can't tell how good they are. This is true to a degree in most fields. I've found that people who are great at something are not so much convinced of their own greatness as mystified at why everyone else seems so incompetent. The people I've met who do great work rarely think that they're doing great work. They generally feel that they're stupid and lazy, that their brain only works properly one day out of ten, and that it's only a matter of time until they're found out."

In "Wildlife"

Get Carl Spackler on the horn.

In "Kopi Luwak"

Right now I'm reading "V" by Thomas Pynchon and I absolutely love it. The plot can be a bit confusing at times, but I find the writing is fantastic. This is one book that definitely lives up to the hype. I'm not even finished yet and I'm already looking forward to checking out "Gravity's Rainbow".

In "One more reason I won't be joining the military any time soon."

LOL mare that's great, thanks.

In "Curious George:"

I'm a Gemini too. Year of the...rat (boo!) I am unpredictable, crafty, distant, restless, egotistical, gossipy, and inconsistent. But at times I can be kind, considerate, witty, entertaining, versatile, adaptable, spontaneous, intellectual, energetic, inquisitive, friendly, lively, and chatty.

In "Let's Swap Again (Like We Did Last Summer)"

Count me in on this one too.

In "wget to the rescue."

No such luck, Sandspider it's a PC (Windows XP), but thanks for the advice.

In "Collect them all."

Awww, hantavirus is so cute.

In "<b>Curious George:</b>"

Actually, in all honesty, six hours isn't a long time so I imagine I would just make sure I was with my family.

I would spend my last six hours being sucked off on mescaline by the Flying Nun while hanging from the top of the Empire State Building guzzling tequila.

In "The LinkSquare Project"

Thanks a lot dng and PF, how am I supposed to get any work done today? /I think my bookmarks folder is about to burst.

In "Honey Where You Been So Long?"

Thanks forks, this looks like a good one. You're right, there are a lot of music blogs around these days, I don't even even bother with KaZaA anymore.

In "Pitchformula. "

Yeah, Bangs was fatatstic, fantasitc and fatalistic. All things to everyone.
