Tim, Merc's expression to drink from the river Lethe is Greek Mythology. He would prefer a lethal dose so that his memories and the pain of his ex would be gone for good. Living can be painful, but it can also reward one with great joy.

I'll try my best, but she won't be easy to forget.

What would you like sir (and thanks for asking instead of just taking :))?

$97.00 is a reasonable price for an Athlon XP 1800+, however, the upgrade path you plan to make may not be as noticeable as you expect. Presently, I am running an Athlon 1400C and the idle temperature is 40C. However, I do have three fans in the system; front and rear 80mm chassis fans and a...

Let her? This place is out of control. Everytime I turn my back, someone is sneaking booze. This isn't a help-yourself bar. People like Tea and The Giver are going to ruin for the rest of us. I think it's time to put some of my supply under lock and key. (Although Tea is pretty strong).

Ouch, that was low. Especially since Buck doesn't sell beer, he drinks it. I'm the one that sells beer, but certainly not at outrageous prices! The last time I checked, the cash drawer was empty and The Giver was helping himself to booze.

Good information at the end of those links Tannin, thanks.

How is Buck supposed to make living with prices like that?!?

:D

No problem Herbie! Have you ever gone bananas?

Mexico and Italy tie 1-1; France and Argentina (both favorites) don't make it out of the first round; what is goin' on?!?

For anyone not bandwidth challenged and interested in another picture, I've added one more to my online gallery of Spring. It will be the first picture, so you don't have to download and scroll through the whole lot.

I've had sporatic issues with StorageForum between 14:00 17:00 PDT, but nothing constant.

That would be our dear, precious, Tea finding out that she is the cause of a new weather pattern in Ballarat.

The Courier has an article showing how a severe thunderstorm was spawned in Ballarat on the edge of a cold front. Maybe it was all of the heat generated by the Genome crunchers at Redhill that collided with this cold front and initiated this freak weather storm. :D

Thank you for your votes, but I am only a bartender. I will most likely miss something related to warez and mistakenly edit what the group considers appropriate speech.

Buck, why did you log in as me?

Mercutio, didn't you recommend PAIR to me? This is there Basic service. You can waive the $15.00 part of the setup fee by already having your own domain name. If you do, the setup fee should be $10.00 and the monthly cost is $8.95. http://www.pair.com/pair/shared/basic.html

Sorry Merc, you're real. But the nice thing about being real is that when life is good, you get to enjoy it with all of your senses (or so I've been told).

Tea's help is always appreciated. Dragging the passed-out patrons at night always kills my back. But with Tea around, it's a cinch. She even accepts bananas as payment (gin n' tonics get her in a mood).

70's punk? I never looked at that era that way (although I probably was one in the seventies). 70's was rock and disco. Did I mention Jimmy Buffett? I think I have once or twice before.

Great gobs of goose eggs, there sure are a lot of phonies around here.

Well done NRG - drinks on the house!

Not so loud.

I can hear an insurmountable section of violins playing for you.

The reason I'm a Colorado fan is because of my love for the Nordiques. They were always the underdog and lost. When they finally got their break and came to the states as a winning team, I was elated. Otherwise, the Kings would be my first team. The only reason I haven't stuck with Kings is...

The way out was played, but insisting your ecstasy on life is without alcoholic intervention leaves you dangerously accountable for all of your shenanigans. When a rolling-pin swinging maiden comes busting through the door, you’re on your own. I’ll be in the keg room. :)

By the way Clocker, I am glad that the Red Wings won. I'm not a first rate fan of them, preferring Colorado and LA first. But, any team from the Carolinas should not be winning Hockey trophies of any type. Instead, they should be out wind surfing or something more suitable to the South East.

Please, don't bring DB in here again! He always messes the place up, and I find him passed out some corner. Plus, he's always looking up Tea's skirt. He's a real....well, his name says it all. Giver, did you say high on life, or High Life?

What you drink is what we serve. Some folks like Bourbon, others Scotch (Lagavulin for the love of God!), some rootbeer, and then, some enjoy their tea. For me, a kettle and some Tetley is fine. If you like your New Zealand wine, we'll store all you want, and more variety then Tannin has hard...

Well done Mercutio, your contributions are always a pleasure to read. I think when Mercutio walks into our pub, everyone should just yell: MERC!

I haven't served The Giver a single drink, so don't blame me. I think Tea was sneaking him something again.

We serve all fashions of Rootbeer too. :)

Welcome JKKJ. I think you'll enjoy this forum, especially the bar. What would you like to drink?

How boring - but quite professional and predictable. Those are admirable qualities P5, so no need to change. Groltz, you are not to be left out of the aforementioned description. Imaginary my.......Tannin has a lot of nerve letting you loose with these weak descriptions. Buck is the...

Alas, my bar will never be the same.

It is a shame when The Giver is cloned with an imposter going under the new alias of The_Giver.

Under what OS Groltz?

Inspite of his attitude, I had to visit Storage Review and welcome The Giver back to the Bar & Grille. For some reason, I'v always wondered if The Giver was Eugene or Davin; probably not, but the image makes me laugh, so I'll picture it just the same.

He's been drinkin' Tannin, don't listen to him.

I'm not too keen on the word puppet - it implies that I'm dependent on a host. I like to think that I have relative freedom. I think as Alternative Personalities we should protest the insulting moniker of “Sock Puppets”!

Tea, all of my posts appeard in order before any of you subsequent posts were made. Now, however, you've responded with a few posts, and they've inserted in between my previously contiguous conversation with Buck.

No you fool, The Langoliers, by Stephen King.

It's working Tea. It is almost as if we're catching back up with posts posted in the future. Have you ever read the book The Langolears? (sp?)

Calm down professor, calm down. You must understand, we are all normal here, perhaps it is just you? :D

I've never been called peculiar before, but I have had some good beer named Old Peculiar.

Herr Messerschmitt (Willi Emil Messerschmitt, as you’re rightly named), your influence on aviation and World War II in general are great, albeit misused by Hitler, but later less abused when used by the United States Air Force and Rockwell for the X-31 project. You were/are an accomplished...

:-? Shamefully, the arrogant and flamboyant Bavarians are considered Germans. :D Augsburg has beautiful architecture and a long history of style, but their attitude stems from the Romans. Augsburg was founded in 15 BCE under the rule of Roman emperor Augustus.

Perhaps not quite as off balance as the Germany/S.Arabia game - the Italians didn't have much in the way of opposition from Ecuador.

I saw that at Anand, I think Buck wishes he could build similar systems for a really low price.
