Say Something Completely Random And Off Topic

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Fantastic movie!

Agree!

There's this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." I been saying that shit for years. And if you heard it, that meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking, maybe it means you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man, and Mr. 9 millimeter here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or, it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.

Okay, *serious post* -- serious non-wine related post, that is... I've had nothing but problems (bad reception, dropped calls) with my BlackBerry Storm2 on the Telus network. I'm a business user who needs Outlook server, but who also likes functional apps like Google Maps. What would you replace the Storm2 with, considering the out-of-pocket cost, below?

- BlackBerry Torch, $100
- iPhone 3GS, $100
- iPhone 4, $159

Thanks in advance for any recos!

I MUST visit Luxembourg again, and soon.


W&A, need a restaurant-guide? Wink Otherwise, i'll propose an offline in about 2 years, when the new appartment & (more important) the new kitchen is ready. That could include visits to Mosel and Alsatian wineries, along with a few succulent restaurants. That be ok ?

Now that Roude Leiw didn't quite work out, France won da big game by 0-2. Let's call it a draw.

Hey, sounds like a plan. Smile

Our travel plans are set for this summer (Ireland) and we will soon confirm our plans for the Fall. We are exploring our options for South America in 2012, so 2013 may work well.

Thanks for the invitation!

If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit! You will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair.

I'm amused at (and rather cynical of) half the connection requests I get on LinkedIn. You know, the kind from someone you don't know and/or who's never done anything for you -- then, a day or two later, who follows up with, "I'm conducting a search and was wondering if you know anybody with these skills/this experience." I delight in keeping my contacts set to private, and in knowing which recruiters are even scuzzier than average.
