[color=#000000ost_uid0]Animatrix is supposed to retail for $25, but I imagine places like Best Buy and Walmart might charge less for it.

Also, you [iost_uid0]HAVEN'T[/iost_uid0] seen Reloaded yet Zeke? :O :O

[iost_uid0]edit: the talk of postcount below has prompted me to notice that this is my 47th post. Such a proud moment....[/iost_uid0][/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Catalina clearly will... she's up to 21 posts in six days. Yowza.[/quoteost_uid0]

I picked the wrong time to separate myself 400km from my computer.

This UBC public terminal keyboard has too many keys. I think it's European or something.

It also has a stain where somebody spilled a sticky drink. That's a lot of lint.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Heheheh, maybe Sa'ar will fall behind in the post rankings.

Numbers as of now:

Sa'ar Chasm -- 645
NAHTMMM -- 480
NeoMatrix -- 458
PointyHairedJedi -- 405
Nan -- 389
Saxamaphone -- 344
Celeste -- 212
Zeke -- 203
Wonko The Sane -- 185
taya17 -- 184

Or... maybe not. Not until someone whittles away the 165-or-so message lead he's got on Nah. [/colorost_uid0]

Just don't increase it this much!




3rd is "better" than whatever position you held on the old board. I don't see any reason to worry about it. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Posting replies that cover the blatantly obvioius are also a good idea for those who are motived to do such things.

Not that [iost_uid0]this[/iost_uid0] post falls into the above category in any way of course.[/colorost_uid0]

Kelowna, BC. It's only a 4-5 hour drive from Vancouver, which is fairly close by Canadian standards, considering it takes three days just to get to Winnipeg *listening to gasps and faints from Europe*

[quoteost_uid0]I would have thought that obvoius - Sa'ar is in his space station which his has just purchased from VillainSupply.com.[/quoteost_uid0]

Actually, some friends of mine and I are considering buying a 60-year-old surplus aircraft carrier for $4 million. Considering the fast ferries got ~$20million each at fire sale auction prices, this is a steal.

It's probably an empty hull and engines.

[quoteost_uid0]Posting replies that cover the blatantly obvioius are also a good idea for those who are motived to do such things.
[/quoteost_uid0]

All my posts a brilliant oracular proclamations. :P[/colorost_uid0]
