  1. Past hour
  2. Dead Skunk...Loudon Wainwright III FREE POST
  3. All sorts of clues about bad smells, but I don't recognize it, either. George
  4. I'm not familiar with the Scott Pilgrim stuff, but I knew Evans was in the early F4 movies and the more recent Avengers-type stuff. George
  5. Today
  6. You don't have to look and you don't have to see 'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory
  7. I'm not impressed with Microsoft's versions of things. If you want to use their firewall and antivirus, they sure beat having none at all. However, I prefer to use other ones on the market- free ones, at that. A 7 year old laptop is slowing down? Yeah, my tip is to replace the laptop. It's at the end of its useful phase of the cycle. Buy a new laptop, and put Linux on the old one, and the smaller operating system will free up resources, thus speeding the machine up. (Windows is bloated.) That will help until the machine drops dead completely. If you use the laptop for web surfing, emails and an office suite, there's Linux versions for all of those. If you install Ubuntu as the O/S and load the Linux versions of your programs, you will probably not miss Windows after a few months, and will appreciate how much faster the machine runs, and how it has fewer crashes and things. Windows is for those of us who use idiosyncratic programs you can't get in Linux, or people who insist computer= Windows. In the meantime, I'd try to empty a big chunk of the data stored on the laptop. If you can clear about 200 GB of space, Windows tends to run a lot better. If you have less than 100 GB of empty space, Windows tends to slow to a crawl, or freeze up. Transfer your data to an external hard drive. Then you still have the data, and your laptop runs faster.
  8. Next one. "Be reasonable. This is my case." "Your case?" "Red John's mine." "Red John doesn't belong to anyone." "He belongs to me."
  9. Yes. As a point of trivia, I like to note that he plays characters in the MCU (Steve Rogers/Cap), in Scott Pilgrim's verse (Lucas Lee, the 2nd of 7 evil exes), and the 20th century Fox movies (Johnny Storm.) Not many actors can say that. Your turn!
  10. Considering me, that would normally be the way to bet. In this instance, it was not.... Try again, please.
  11. I'm not sure if I'm familiar with this?
  12. Yeah, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog On a moonlight night, you got your dead toad frog Got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon The blood and the guts, they're gonna make you swoon
  13. Yesterday
  14. I'll go out on a limb and say the giraffe. An elephant seems likely also, but if a mother elephant was protecting her calf and had to jump over a creek to chase her prey away, I bet she could jump the creek. It may not be the prettiest or athletic jump in the world, but a jump nonetheless. So I'm ruling them out.
  15. Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose Roll up your window and hold your nose
  16. I could have sworn I added Erin. Looks like she's veering away from the US. George
