It didn't seem to come to that much when I ordered it...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I know that Smallville is nowhere near as good as Buffy or Angel or Firefly (or Alias for that matter), but have a need to see season 3 as I own the first two seasons already. :)
Grrr. Argh.

Smallville essentially boils down to Buffy, but with Superman.

Which is no bad thing.

I really wish I'd saved that "Wanted - Dead or Nearly Dead; For crimes against acting and impersonating a superhero" picture of Tom Welling...

Agreed.

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Okay. You buy me broadband, a laser printer and a top-notch copyright lawyer and we've got a deal.

I can never find anything I want on Kazaa anyway.
Grrr. Argh.

Or Shareaza.

Shareaza = Kazaa + Limewire + Bearshare + Gnutella + Gnutella2 + BitTorrent + a few others I can't remember the names of.

I generally buy stuff I'm actually going to keep, personally... ideally from bands rather than stores, though.

They've been clamping down on a lot of the torrent sites lately, it seems.

A lot of the time, I'll buy DVDs if it has decent special features.

I'd spend $60 on boxed DVD sets and feel like a complete materialist, gobbling down my diet of regurgitated television and sitting in front of the idiot box just like THEY want me to! :twisted:

I just bought all three seasons of Roswell. My eyes hurt already, and I'm only twelve episodes in.
