    Better story lines, less Star-Power?

    ROFL, heh. "Gross" receipts. Just watched the new star trek, thought it was great, didn't recognise any leads. I guess , there was an imerative with it, to not go to near originals, but they did it, and it was great.

    Hey moron, yeah you with the cigarette in his hole...

    Here is an idea, get bent, you fool. Bush didn't ban the fuckers either, did he? Huh? No, to many vested interests. Why are governments, so reluctant, to simply declare this stuff illegal, as they have with so many other things. "Oh, it's the tourism industry". "Oh, its because...it...

    Better story lines, less Star-Power?

    What the....Miami Vice is a movie now? I loved that show, though I guess even at the time, wearing a pink singlet , loafers and a safari suit may get one bashed, I accepted that might be a typical Miami crime fighters uniform. Never been to Miami. With the recent Mel Gibson er, stuff, he...

    If I gave you $100 million what would you do with?

    Buy a small handfull of solid, and profitable law and accountancy firms, perhaps a security /private investigation firm to go with it, no doubt some property, investment accounts and more solid investments-and Miss Emma Peel as my personal assistant.

    Junk Food Diet

    There's anecdotal evidence, that white caucasian's (full of tinned, salted etc foods-may have been a war thing) didn't rot down in the jungles of Papua New Guineau at anywhere near the rate of native's, who had a still primitive/truly organic diet.

    Hazard Workplace

    No shit, Sherlock. I once stubbed my toe real bad because I wasn't wearing steel cap boots, an acquaintance had his head crushed by improperly secured bulk pipe, (dead), another broke his neck felling a tree limb in his backyard, also dead. It's true, hazards are everywhere. But why is this...

    Selling fine jewelry--any ideas on how to get a fair price?

    It depends on what you are talking about, I worked at the coalface of a particular Gem trading business for a while. No diamonds, but I got a small take on the industry, if you can get 30-40% of what you payed, be thankfull. Very, very thankful. Why? because if you knew the markup, you...

    Any archers on ET?

    Ah, the simple pleasures of life. NZ-I've thought of moving there, or at least holidaying there. Good people, kiwi's. Saying that as a flatlander, as I think they call us (australians) now. Haven't been to W.A .in a long time......long time.

    Any archers on ET?

    40 metre's is impressive-NZ do'es (or did) have great hunting, if your fit enough for the terrain, can get real vertical over there. Boar/goat cooked in a hungi, brilliant. One of the reasons for a recurve, is no way I'm fit to slog it out "actually" hunting, and I don't have the patience...

    Charities

    Not so sure, most of the major mobs are heavy full on Christianity for blankets, most of the largest organisations, oxfam, red cross, world vision, blue cross, research joints aren't so dissimilar, most of the funds go to bureaucracy and don't tend to get to the ground level, in any big way...

    Any archers on ET?

    I haven't used a bow in nearly twenty years, did it at school until someone took a potshot at someone they hated and the whole idea was banned. The were the full fibreglass in lurid colours, lame really, but damn they were fun. I figure, I have a more fun version, (because it's in camo, my...

    Any archers on ET?

    Naw, Robbin hood is a myth, and no way I could manufacture a decent longbow myself. And sure as shit, If I took from the the rich, I'm keepin it. Haven't seen the movie yet, no doubt it will encourage a new generation of try hard kids to "make" a bow from decades seasoned staves, and make...

    Any archers on ET?

    Just got a cheap ass recurve, for shits and giggles, and am now trying to figure out what the heck to do with it. I'll need a tab, glove, or something, a stringer, crap, I don't even have any arrows yet. A 50 pound takedown recurve, just a toy really, but any idea's on decent accessories...

    Baseball "curve" ball and illusion

    Bugger. That doesn't explain reverse swing at all. Always figured there must be a reasonable explanation for it.. Still, If I could have anything on my passport, "aero-ballistician" is right up there. Cheers, Hoodooman.

    Baseball "curve" ball and illusion

    Hey, could you check out Cricket ball "swing" for me? It's something of a mystery, the ball spins on a vertical axis, "normal" swing makes sense, (shiny side/rough side, ball swings in the direction of the rough side, if properly oriented) but there is a phenomena known as reverse swing...
