Personally, I greatly prefer TROUBLE IN PARADISE to either of Sam's two choices. But, if I had to make a desert-island choice in this genre, I might opt for Lubitsch's MONTE CARLO instead of TROUBLE IN PARADISE. Not quite as brilliant as TROUBLE IN PARADISE, but maybe a little more soul. - Dan ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2003 14:34:39 -0400 From: Stewart Mason Subject: Re: [loud-fans] archiving question (ns) At 09:31 AM 6/14/2003 -0700, G.

My first thought, naturally, was "Get off the sidewalk, you stupid fuck." There was an amusing op-ed piece in the Globe this morning about whether yesterday's tumble was worse PR for the Avignon President (tm Charlie Pierce), as in "What the hell's he doing playing with his new toy when this 'road map' thing he's so proud of has been blown out of the water barely a week later?," or for the Segway itself, as in "See what happens when a person who can't eat pretzels and watch TV at the same time gets on one of these things?"

Some of us with oversized CD collections have moved to space-saving measures such as ditching jewelboxes and storing stuff in those folders or just in paper cases. Others of us are adamant about keeping our jewelboxes...but we run into the problem that the damned things break. Okay, buying jewelboxes isn't that expensive - but if you're like me, you might find some place to order them in bulk to keep the costs down, but then you end up with, say, 50 trays and back shells because you keep having to replace the front covers that break more frequently. I've found a vendor that sells jewelbox components separately. I can't vouch yet for their service, but here's the site: . I've gone ahead and ordered some - I'll let you know how quickly they arrive. ..Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html :: crumple zones:::harmful or fatal if swallowed:::small-craft warning :: ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V3 #171 *******************************
