In "Controversial Urinals Removed!"

Mr. K, it needs to sound like this when you flush it. This is essential.

Letter From B1FF May help explain it. B1FF was a frequent poster to alt.religion.kibology. See also: Jeff K.

In "Curious George: Best lyrics sites?"

I know we had a full copy of it on our home computer for a couple of years after the site shut down. I doubt we still do but I bet there are people out there who have it.

That's a good point. I remember making my own copy of it several years ago on several dozen floppies. Maybe I should look in the usual places one would go to find copywritten material available for download.

Also I just remembered that this other website I frequent has a user-run internet radio station and they use this site's lyrics database. Seems free of a lot of the BS you typically find in google search results for lyrics. You can also upload lyrics and make comments and corrections if you care to create an account there.

I find that after judicious use of adblock and "Remove it Permanently" extensions for firefox as well as the proxomitron that most of the shitty www-download-mp3s-free-lyrics-cellphone-ringtones.com type sites are adequate. Oh, and be sure to use a popup blocker as well. It's a damn shame that olga.net removed their lyrics. Back in the day that would have killed both birds(transcribing/lyrics) with the same stone.

In "Diet Coke"

As a diabetic I stand ready for the day when everything is sweetened by splenda. One of the funny things I noticed when I took my first sip of a chilled 20ouncer of diet coke with splenda was a sudden rush of childhood memories. I don't know how many of you remember when soft drinks in the states were sweetened with sugar, but as someone who enjoyed Soft drinks sweetened with both that and HFCS up until the day my pancreas shat in a shoe I haven't tasted anything else nearly as nice as this stuff. There was even the taste of "sugar" on my lips after taking a sip. Honestly it was like I was 6 again running around in the yard with a glass bottle. They got me hook, line and sinker :(.

In "Where do you steal your music?"

I steal mine from Wal-mart, but you have to bring in one of those devices to remove the packaging so that the alarm does not go off.

Well, I suppose if you get caught at it you won't face nearly the fines or jailtime as if you were caught sharing online.

I see I was beaten. So much for going off to lunch before hitting "post".

That's pretty nice. It reminds me a bit of mailinator, but with even less effort involved.

Thanks for the links, I went ahead and got me some. Here's something else a lot of you may find useful: Free Linux collection from Suse. Supposedly it comes with a Suse Professional 9.1 installation DVD.
