AliceTheOwl Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Re: The Last Word So I've noticed. That "animal police" show on Animal Planet always makes me sad and angry, and I can never watch it for long. One guy had shoved his cat's face into the oven.

lemming Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Re: The Last Word We have a cat at the sanctuary that's missing his lower jaw. He'd been shot. He's one of the sweetest cats ever. For what looks to be a good animal show and blatent plug: Dogtown I need to hunt down if the promo reel is out yet, not over on our area at youtube yet.

AliceTheOwl Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Re: The Last Word I couldn't have worked it out without the translation. I always follow up an abbreviated first and middle name with an emphasis on the first syllable, and it just didn't parse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Re: The Last Word They discovered sand on Mars. Like, actual silicate . . . The picture looks pretty cool.

Cancer Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Re: The Last Word Yeah, I noticed, when trying to catch up. I also note the board software changed. The page with the list of "recently received reputation" seems to have gone away, or is it just in a different place now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Re: The Last Word Also, double-posting is easier. I can still see my "recently repped." Hmm. No real operational significance to friending, except it's a friendly thing to do. ^ v ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Re: The Last Word I think I've read all Discworld books, except The Science Of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch and The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, and been disappointed by only one -- the latest, Making Money. I read it again after a week, and hey presto!, it's a masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
