@AlanApheidas: Ditto :-)

@smartboydan should really be studying right now.: Pretty much like you can't get in trouble for having pot, just so long as you don't use it, right?

@MorganPolar bear: When all of our welfare recipients are as those you described, then our backyard will be fine... in a way. I suppose we'll have to solve that problem, too.

@TheFu: You are right, as a traveling salesperson, AAA saves TONS of money. Free tows when I broke down, saved a bunch on hotel costs.

I'm glad all you guys are such experts, but can you believe there are people out there who don't know this? Come'on folks, lighten up a bit. I knew about IF statements too, but its nice to see a wide variety of articles on this site.

I just have a problem with "penis" and "pen is".

@TheVault: I got my 8MB memory card from Best Buy about two months ago. Their selection of original Xbox supplies are limited, but they should have 1 or 2 memory cards still available.

Bah! Tom Clancy rocks!
