Nice application of your tag line. I get the feeling now that if anyone mentioned Churchill, half the world would say "Who?" They also wouldn't know the quote, "Anyone who doesn't know history is doomed to repeat it." (I don't remember who said it, so much for remembering history.)

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Indeed.
I'm pissed that I won't be in Germany these coming months. I wanted to catch at least a few of the Crüxshadows shows.
No one in the band, at least, minds my age. :p

A few shows even? Wow, you must really like the Crüxshadows...
I know their song Deception (and like it quite a bit) and that's where my Crüxshadows knowledge ends
But there's some good darkwave out there

Are you sure he was a musician? It could be:
- They can't play at all, so "nothing you'd like" would be accurate
- They play so badly that it should have been "nothing that anybody likes"
- Nobody actually likes what he plays, but it's clever so people pretend to like it; a sort of "Emperor's New Clothes" effect (and he's actually honest about it)
- He is mistaken and it's possible you would like it
- He plays something that's so weird that only an obvious visual minority would like it
Come to think of it, that last point does cover young trend followers.
In any case, he's a jerk!

Twice, now, I've been prevented from posting a message by "It appears that the garbage you wish to post has already been posted" messages (I can't remember the exact wording, but that was probably it).
It's reasonably unlikely that anyone else would post two somethings with exactly the phrasing I used, and I know that I hadn't posted the same things before, so kess ke say, moochatchoss?

It happens if you press the "Post Message" key twice, or sometimes if it appears that your message has not been posted. In the second case it's usually a timing issue, when the hamsters are having their post-prandial nap.

The messages haven't appeared on the site, yet, so it's not the double-click thing.
I should insist -- nay, DEMAND -- on immediate escalation to third-line support! These were important messages!
(e.g. the one today was to the MQOTD thread.)

Oh, I had hoped that would help me know when my wife (Leslie) was approaching.

Well, if you just stay in the wardrobe, no-one will have to rush to hide in it.
See? There's always a simple solution, to every problem.

Well, at least you know your wife. I'm so clueless, I don't think my wife does that.

Yes, but only the one. Still seeking a way to clone her though.

I can detect a Leslie. It sounds close to but the same as a phase shifter.
Peter Frampton yeah!

Straight line: "Do you like Frampton?"
