[Anthony]

It's worked for us out in Cali, hopefully you guys can benefit from it here as well.

[RippleChip]

Well it started off the same

So I can say anything eh...


On that note, anyone posting in here must of seen Strange Brew. That is all.

[Anthony]

Man I totally need to rent that movie again, it's been a looooooong time since I've watched it. Gonna go to my Netflix right now. What about Slapshot?

[RippleChip]

Another classic.

I watched Strange Brew last night on tv.
Been a crazy week of awesome classic movies on tv...caught Ski School the other night on Bravo.

[Anthony]

Strange Brew and Slapshot added to my queue.

Is Ski School that one with Zach Galifianakis?

[RippleChip]

No, that's Out Cold. Way too new, Ski School is a classic

hardcore

[RippleChip]

That's crazy Ed.

But I can't talk too much about them, never watched them.

[ed@mtl]

Humm, should I do all six of the Star Wars? That would be over 14hrs.

Or maybe all three of the Indiana Jones. Over 8hrs.

Ya, ya, I'm bored at home. Going back to work tomorrow.

[RippleChip]

I'm back to work today

Indiana Jones are a good choice.

[ed@mtl]

In Quebec, almost everything is still closed.

[SleeperAvant]

Watched seasons 1 thru 5 of 24. lol. Damn I feel fat.

[Suhail]

LOL I'm finishing up season 3 of 24 this week, just a couple more episodes left. I haven't seen all of 4 or 5 but I have them ready and waiting lol.

[Tanner]

I still need to watch season 1 of 24... soon..... ugh, can't imagine going through all of them like I did with the first few seasons of Lost. I lost track of time is what really happened when I realize it was 3AM in the morning and I had to work the next day!

[Suhail]

haha yeah I couldn't wait to finish season 3 of 24 so I just finished watching the last 2 episodes. When I'm done with the other two seasons and get caught up on season 6 I'll start on Lost :s.

[RippleChip]

24 is one show I never got into. My brother has watched them all, guess you guys are trying to finish it off before the new season starts. Heard its 4 hours spread out over two days

[Tanner]

Buddy at work already watched the first four episodes of season six!

[bellofello]

Anyone else sick as a mofo? I've got laryngitis and bronchitis. And it's balls. People are dropping like flies around here, everyones sick with something lol.

Anyone here have anything.

[RippleChip]

What, isn't that the one that premieres this weekend?

Whatever, I have no interest in that show.

[RippleChip]

Not sick here...heard lots of people that are.

[Tanner]

I just got a sore throat this morning. Might be the result of not getting enough sleep.

[RippleChip]

That's it, I try to keep on a regular sleep pattern. Must keep getting solid sleeps, its the best way to keep from getting sick

[Tanner]

I had a pretty good run... i think the last time I got sick was last spring, so can't complain. I'll get a lot tonight and head into work late tomorrow :D

[Suhail]

Does anyone know where I can get an inexpensive Memory Stick for my Sony digicam?

[ed@mtl]

Any computer pro here? I think I fried my USB ports on the laptop. Is there a way I can test it or anything that I can do?

My mouse is connected via USB but isn't working now. Funny thing is, when I delete the drivers for the mouse and reboot, it picks it up and load the drivers. Also, when connecting my cell via the USB data cable, it doesn't recognize it anymore.

[Tanner]

Weird - it's able to see the mouse i assume and it shows up in the device control panel?

Inexpensive memory stick - not familiar with the sony stuff but I think Sandisk makes them also and is a bit cheaper than the Sony ones.

[ed@mtl]

Yes, it's there in the Control Panel.

[RippleChip]

Anyone frozen?

This is payback to all those laughing about no winter...been some chilly mornings lately.

[Tanner]

No really... but my car was after sitting at the airport for a few days and the adio would turn on but no sound and it finally came on 10 minutes later yesterday. And some squeak in the rear until the car warms up inside.

[RippleChip]

Yeah been some sluggish starts for the car.


BTW, see the Dell Days of Deals today, 89 for a 4gb SD card. Man prices are scary cheap on storage now

[Tanner]

I bought a 1GB no-name from Tiger for $22 which included taxes.

Hmm shifting topics - anybody heading up to the hills tomorrow or Sunday?

[RippleChip]

I'll be up both days.

[Tanner]

Heading to Horseshoe tomorrow with a few friends. Probably good to at least ease the body since I haven't done any sort of exercise in a long time :)

[Suhail]

So I pull into my normal parking lot today at school and search around for a spot. I finally find an empty one and it happens to be next to the usual santorin A4 that I see that has exhaust and some other things too so I pull in next to it. After my classes I come back to my car and see the other Audi is gone but as I get closer to my car I notice a scratch (keyed) mark near my door handle about an inch long. Lets just say I was none too impressed whatsoever!

Now I'm not saying this is Audi on Audi crime but man it really pisses me off, I know it could've been worse but I mean come on!
I
know it wasn't there before because I had just washed the car yesterday so it wasn't hiding underneath salt or any crap. Ah well... /vent

[Tanner]

Buddy at work found scratches on his front bumper. Appears that somebody pulled out and didn't judge properly where their front bumper was and ended up being dragged along the side of his front bumper. He wasn't too impressed either, it's a light scratch but nevertheless.... it happening at an employee parking lot and know that the other car is white, leaves it down to two cars that usually parks in the same area.

[RippleChip]

That is so frustrating. I can't stand hearing things like that, why can't people just fess up if they mess with someone elses property


On a better note, how was horseshoe the other day Mike? I'm up north right now enjoying the rest of the week skiing...sure beats the office

[Tanner]

I got spoiled by Tremblant last year and a few resorts including Nelson the year before. Horseshoe was okay, some icy spots but otherwise the conditions were okay considering this is Ontario. Was horribly out of shape though for sure. Runs are too short, you get into a rhythm them ... darn, end of the run.

Where you staying? I'm debating on going up this weekend but it will be brutally cold.

I'll have to plan on a trip somewhere next year. Who's up for that?

[RippleChip]

I'm up at my chalet, just outside Kimberley. Let me know if your coming up, I'll be around the whole time. Or we should plan for sometime if you want to hit the slopes.

Next year I hope to go out west, I need a trip for sure. Lets hit the big mountains
