CaptainQuark
May 9 2007, 10:13 AM
Errr... no. But I have seen the original Japanese verison of "Ringu", and it was LOADS better than the Hollywood remake.

If people weren't so full of their own self-importance and weren't so damned materialstic, yes. But in the real world? No.

A best friend is someone who stands by your side thru the good times as well as the bad times and loves you unconditionally.
I read recently that alot of newspapers are losing client base for printed subscriptions as more and more people are getting their news from other sources such as the internet. Do you think that eventually newspapers in printed form will become a thing of the past?
CaptainQuark
May 10 2007, 12:02 PM
I sincerely hope not! There's nothing like a rolled-up newspaper to control a naughty quaker.
Why are Greys the greatest parrots on the planet?
Uncle Zippy

No - I hear it's fun though!

Do you play Command and Conquer? (I do

)
CaptainQuark
May 14 2007, 07:36 AM
No. I've tried it a couple of times, but as you can tell from the list of games I play, I like a healthy dose of realism in my game play. C&C involves too much fantasy.
Would you consider adopting a disabled parrot?
Coco23
May 14 2007, 07:38 AM
Of course! If the opportunity arose for me to rescue one in need, I will do it without blinking! Even though it would need extra care!

)
CaptainQuark
May 14 2007, 09:21 AM
But
Ndhlovu is the most annoying of the lot. She clears her throat constantly the way that Britta does and belches at me.
Induna bites
Inenekazi is indecisive
Insect is a Quaker
George the Patagonian squawks and never keeps still!

Are you (normally) carnivorous, vegetarian or vegan?
Dark Angel
May 14 2007, 10:02 AM
I like beef hate poultry cant have either right now dont really believe in the vegan diet because I think dairy is essential for most people other than those that can not absorb its benefits and have to avoid it like the plague.
Which reminds me of an article I read recently
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/13245543/detail.htmlso my question is what do you think of it?
CaptainQuark
May 14 2007, 11:01 AM
That's outrageously irresponsible! Making a lifestyle choice is one thing, but foisting upon an infant that has absolutely no say in the matter – to its own detriment – is another thing completely.

There's a great application on the Mac called Spamfire, which has a great little function which allows you to wreak revenge on persistent offenders by completely swamping their systems with "Not at this address" type messages.
