Fabering is the biggest threat to our way of life since the spectre of Communism reared it's ugly head. It's an abomination in the eyes of Thread. Impressionable young children could be reading these fabers and think they're fun, all the while not realising the damage that these abominations are causing. Somebody think of the children!
Ah. A militant anti-faberer. All you heteroposters are alike. And I am thinking of the children ... did Cross-Eyed Mary a faber just the other day...
If I had my way all you faberers would be packed off to live in Slough. Every weekend you'd be made to travel by bus to the Lake District and enjoy a visit to the Pencil Museum.
But, you must know that we LOVE the pencil museum. One of our great heroes is Eberhard Faber, the man who brought respectability to weedy. "Old pencil d1ck," that's what we call 'im...

Didja ever read "The Forever War" by my old pal Joe Haldeman? Time travel is routine. Missions can cross hundreds of years, so that you never know whether you're confronting an enemy vastly more advanced technologically than you or so hopelessly primitive that they're cake.

He posits that the human race is inexorably "trended" toward homosexuality, so that the persistently hetero "hero" of the book winds up being referred to by his troops as "the old queer."

Lousy book like just about all sci-fi, but a lot of fun to read.

Pffft, typical faber-centric twaddle. Next you'll be telling us that it's suitable for two faberers to be parents together. It's un-natural I say! You know who else used to Faber? Nixon [:-] And Adolf Hitler, he Fabered Poland you know. And don't get me started on Tom Cruise, we all know he's a faberer. Not to mention Muslim extremists.
Famous non-faberers include Ghandi and Mother Theresa. And Jesus. None of those people ever commited a faber.

Sorry Steve, i will became really serious here :
i don't like many french singers or band.
I was raised with anglo-saxon bands, and i am really found of them: Beatles is my ever favorite band. The stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Beach Boys, Led Zepp' , AC/DC , Genesis, Police, and so on.

Hence the title of my AAR is a reference to my most ever favorite band !! [&o]

Eric, I'm a huge, huge, HUGE Beatles fan. Right now I'm mostly interested in collecting as much of their live recorded performances as I can, and thre's not much of it around. The best of it can be found on Live at the BBC, which includes a great version of Roll Over Beethoven. Have you heard this CD?

3 years ago, it was my Birthday present from the most beloved personn in the world, my wife.
It is good !

Edit: For my point of vue, my own personnal feeling is that this is not the best CD or songs of the beatles.
In fact, i have some taste for some albums, but usually there are 2 or 3 songs that i like in an album.
In general, althought, i like their style, wich improve greatly after 1963.

Fool on the hill? Isn't that from ANOTHER Anglo band? Sigh....Give me another 100! [:D]

[:-][:-] It is from the SAME BAND !!! You hear me ??? The SAME !!!!

Yarr. I must confess that I was never a big Beatles fan, even though they were popular during my late adolescence and early adulthood.

I mean, their early stuff, when it wasn't a cover, wasn't much more than cutesy moptop dance music with odd lyrics and questionable musicianship behind it.

"When I'm comin' home tonight,
I'm gonna hold her tight,
I'm gonna love 'er 'til the cows come home..."

Wait a minute. What happens when the cows come home? A bull cops an attitude, steps up and says, "Hey! Scrawny little floppy haired pop music type. You messin' wif my heifer?"

"...and when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide. I can't hide. I CAN'T HIDE."

Okay, okay. You lay yer hands on some chick, you start gettin' wood. So?

"Please, please me - oh, yeah -
The way that I please you."

I dunno. The gay thing never did it for me.

The only answer that i can told you is : you have the right to like or dislike. My point of vue is that respect of everyone taste is important.

Hi all,

Guys, is new PX and PY resolution option for WitP-AE working on 4:3 monitors?

For example I have my desktop set to 1600x1200 and would like to have several gaming options for that (both full screen and windowed)


Leo "Apollo11"

Sure does, Leo. It should work for any resolution supported by your video card/monitor combination.

My mistake. I seem to recall there was some US group from the 1950's that had that lyric in a song. [&:]

If ever you or someone prove me wrong, i would be thankfull to learn something.
I know for example that the Beatles made a remake of "Roll over beethoven" from Chuck Berry

My apologies. I've not been able to find anyone who did a similar titled song in the 1950's. Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66 did a version of the song in 1966 , the year before the Beattles did it , but I've found people giving tribute to both Mendez and McCarthney for writing the same song? [8|] So I guess I'll start righting. "I must learn my bands better"......[:o]

Steve, I'm afraid I've been taking your sig banner a bit too seriously lately.  I had to open my mouth in the Tojo as uber thread.  

I feel so dirty.  [:'(][:D]

Don't feel that way. You said and did the right thing.The only reason that I try to avoid those kind of mix-ups is that I lack your sense of proportion and your common sense. I don't have your restraint.I get angry and my mouth rules. Or as my boot camp company commander used to say to me "kid your hearts in the right place. The trouble is your heads up your @$$". [:D]

You done good Mike. As I've heard Sophacles said (now 25 people will tell me that I have my quotes wrong) "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Well, you are definately a good man. I'll tell it to the world! [&o]
