Unfortunately it was my name, rules changes at work requires all public forum posts to be via handles not names (at home as well as work)... :sigh: so I had to change, and hope people forgot. :-D luckily, most have. :-D went through two other names in like two weeks before settling on this one. That probably helped the confusion. :-D

it's not a matter of forgetting as much as it is a matter of trying to avoid getting you in trouble with the pointy hairs. Fortunately atm you can't get to really old messages via the profile.

When prediction serves as polemic, it nearly always fails. Our prefrontal lobes can probe the future only when they aren’t leashed by dogma. The worst enemy of agile anticipation is our human propensity for comfy self-delusion. David Brin Buddha Dave
Colossus: How many nights a week do you require sex? Dr. Forbin: Every night. Colossus: Not want. Require... Dr. Forbin: [looks sheepish] Four times.

naw, I'll probably be the idiot who builds colossus and I saw the movie (original) and look forward to the remake.

I read the books (by D. F. Jones) before the movie came out: Colossus, The Fall of Colossus, and Colossus and the Crab. The movie (Colossus - The Forbin Project) did a pretty good job following the storyline of the 1st book. The 2nd book dealt with the completion of the Super Colossus, the destruction of Super Colossus and the pending invasion of Earth by Mars. The 3rd book continues with the Martian agenda and resurection of Colossus to help in the defeat of the Martians.

we all get our reps from somewhere.... mine comes from an action movie even though only El (The) matches the movie, Corazon the song, yours from a rather entertaining court case that keeps us all in stitches. Soy un hombre muy honrado, Que me gusta lo mejor A mujeres no me faltan, Ni al dinero, ni el amor En mi caballo Por la sierra yo me voy Las estrellas y la luna Ellas me dicen donde voy Ay, ay, ay, ay Ay, ay mi amor Ay mi morena, De mi corazon Therefore I am El Corazon.

And I still find it surprising you don't speak Spanish. Even I speak a smattering of it (though it is in serious need of oiling and de-rusting!)

Seriously, soon, I'm going to be putting their lawyer in stitches. If I have it my way that is ... :sigh:

I can order a meal like a local, but all I ever mastered was dozens of computer languages, learning German, Japanese, and Spanish all failed at various times of my life. I forgot what I learned the day before. And I didn't have the enjoyment of an alcohol excuse!

Ah! I bow before your linguistic prowess :takes off hat and bows: There's an Arabic proverb that literally translates to "Do what's more important before what's important". You've done just that :) I hope you know how to say "extra habaneros, hold the worm" ;)
