Hey! Long time! Howdy!
Every one. Damn thing takes longer to launch than the heavy apps do (Photoshop, &c.). If I wanted Apple "AudioVisualWorks" that slices, dices, chops, purees, and liquefies, I'd pay for it. Free comes with too high a price, of late.
Or I could just buy a new computer to replace my first-gen Apple Mini [insert sarcastic laughter].
Heh. Foster's. Here's a quote from a Campton police officer on the night of my bachelor party:
"How about one of you guys come out here and get all these oil cans out of the road?"
I don't know who was drinking 'em, but there were a bunch of empties stood up across the street. Real smart. If I ever had a Foster's*, it was that night.
Hello, things are getting slow and dull at work, so now I have time to frequent forums and try to catch up on listening to the fights. I'm still on "A tear."

My birthday was in June (points to handle), but my birthday present to myself of a new computer will not be until this fall after Leopard comes out. I want to get the new software at no additional cost. ;)
My Foster's story: Foster's used to have a whole bunch of cute little "Australian for Beer..." commercials, some of which were pretty clever (to this day, every time I throw a used styrofoam coffee cup into the back seat of my car, I hear Crocodile Dundee saying, "air freshener...").
So one Sunday morning I was watching the Formula 1 races, and Foster's was one of the sponsors, and they had just come out with a not nearly so clever commercial. And in 2 1/2 hours of race broadcast, they showed that same one awful commercial nine times.
So I dug around on the internet and found an email address for Foster's Marketing Department and asked them to PLEEZE bring back some of the old clever commercials, rather than making us watch the same awful one over and over during the races.
That was the last time I ever saw a Foster's ad on Speed TV. Oops...

I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually drink Fosters in Australia. It's just another one of those things we don't actually consume here, but offload on tasteless Seppos. Along with Savage Garden, Rupert Murdoch, Black Opal wine, the Little River Band, Outback Steakhouse restaurants, Yahoo Serious movies and Russel Crowe. Enjoy!

Whoa there Boomerang boy, you leave Yahoo out of this.

I <i>could</i> lookup "Seppos", but I'm too lazy, so is that like saying "those Americans"?
I wish I could say I've never seen anyone drink a Budweiser, but that is literally impossible. I've even done it, much to my taste buds dismay. As far as mainstream beers go, the lightest beers I drink are Blue Moon, Dos Equis, and Killian's. Anything lighter in body is just piss (and I mean that literally, figuratively speaking of course).
