Poor Todd here, have a muffin... sorry this happened guy
Fudrucker indeed - sounds like you got burgered in the bun by your pc Especially when you wanted to play JK2. I wanted to last night, but no - was helping my son do his %^&* taxes. <sigh> And I wanted to watch a movie the other night, but no - the big screen is still in the shop. "We were made to suffer - it's our lot in life" seems appropriate sometimes (C3P0, "Star Wars"). -Ben > -----Original Message----- > From: Todd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 6:56 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: son of a #%@$!!%&* > > > OK .. no sappy stories tonight ..
