like half the files in my winmx folder were porn videos i renamed to fictional .mp3s
Seriously? :tsktsk:
The way to do it is to first archive the porn with Winrar AND password protect the archive and rename THAT to .mp3. :idea:

graniteoctopus whatever you're building up to sell to me I don't want it. Unless its vaginas. But i'd better be able to talk on the telephone at the same time as being on the vaginas.
PS facebook updates were designed for this kind of non-conversation. Why don't you make this a facebook update instead?
In the interests of something worthwhile, check out this octopus:

remember the days when internet was charged by the hour
My internet didn't have re-chargeables, so I would have to wait while they changed the batteries.

and you had to pay each time you connected to it, and having to listen to that irritating dial up tone? when 50 megs was considered an insanely large download? when if you wanted to watch a video online you had to download it first? when you couldnt talk on the phone and be online at the same time?
I remember. I was on 14.4-28Kbit till about 2005, and had free internet only after 1AM. Calendra's Legacy took about a week to download :)
Agreed :)

i remember paying my dad 25c for the phone call so i could play starsiege tribes for four hours.
So why is it I could do a 60 player Tribes games over my modem but now games can't handle more than 24 players with DSL?
Dial up internet? Pffft how about suffering with dial-up BBS? Yeah bitches, pre-internet with text only displays on an Apple ][+!

In honor of this momentous achievement, I give you Ozzy Osbourne's ode to (and condemnation of) The Great Beast himself, Aleister Crowley:
[CENTER]Mr. Crowley, what went wrong in your head?
Oh, Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead?
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
(jammin' Randy Solo)
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Oh, Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant[/CENTER]
Thank you.

Hey, I remember that song playing in Brütal Legend. I rather liked it.

Hunt the Wumpus. Yeah baby: Teletype (
with the punch tape unit, thank you very much) and a 300 baud handset modem! Best part was there was no screen, so you always had a printed record of the session. Of course we were always out of computer paper, so we stole paper towels from the restroom for printing. That was how we rolled in the '70s.
