Oh, and who bought the uncomfortable shoes because "they look sooooo cool" last night?

I'm thinking they weren't business casual.

You wouldn't if you ever saw our couch. Besides, I've already zoomed right past "couch" and am now going for "Back seat of the car... at the bottom of the lake".

But these shoes? They were worth it. I wouldn't call them "pimpin'", but the moniker "ass-kickinest shoes ever" would be very near the mark.

That's OK, Perth. Make up sex is the best.

I don't need to be sued by the RIAA, so I don't do it.

Fuck 'em though...as far as I'm concerned, it's completely legitimate. I'm sharing my music with 2 million of my friends. If you don't like it, find a way to prevent people from making copies of cassettes and CDs.

Fucking idiots.

'fraid so. My southern is inversely proportional to the amount of sleep I've had.

It, of course, should have read,"Without some compensation for the effort and materials involved where does the money come from to pay for all of that?" or, "Without some compensation for the effort and materials involved from where does the money come to pay for all of that?" or something like that.

I don't want them to make ways to prevent copies. I like to burn a copy of my favorite Cd's (minus the songs I hate) to listen to in my car. That way my original doesn't get all beat to hell and I don't have to lean over and skip a song while driving. But according to the RIAA that is illegal, and if they had it their way they would be able to fry my hard drive for having the tracks on my computer. I bought the fucking Cd and if I want to burn a copy to listen to in my car its my own right.

Oh, I don't want them to do that either. But that's the only real way they'll stop the hemorraging, IMO.

Oh, and hon? We have more disposable income than you think. It's just that most of that gets disposed of in clothing purchases made by you.

Dude, just kick yourself in the balls now and get it over with.
