HTF do you spell licorice? (lickorish) I have to officially announce the death of my very first CD player. It was a discman - it was mine - I still love it - It has been stuffed for about 5 years - the up and down buttons don't work - the sound/noise adjustment level keeps making the sound drop out, and then the 'proper' earphone plug stuffed up - where you could only listen to stuff through one ear - so you had to use the line out port - which didn't allow you to use the special features etc. I am in the middle of cleaning my room, and I found it - and remembered the problem - I had nothing to loose so I OPENED it up! I fiddled around with stuff - I had no idea what I was doing - put it back together... and it WORKED! Perfect Stereo - then i touched the earphone plug and it went back to on ear! :o( So I opened it again - and this I time I did the same closed it - didn't work... then I opened it again, and fiddled around and pulled that whole section out! Just ripped it out! ;o) Put it back together. The line out socket still works but there is no dedicated earphone plug now! It works ok - only if you turn the thing upside down. Tsk. :o) So I've decided it's not worth it - and I'm going to trash it. I loved hearing it's little 'beep' 'beep's for each track up and down... and the one 'beep' for 'start' or 'stop'. It was truly a good friend and a loyal companion. It gave me music across the country! Fare thee well little Discman.

(Brandon) For those with out PayTv and the Fx channel - this is basically a morning chat show with 5 women around a table. Wasn't Tori on there!?! 6. Everyone except me was incredibly whiny and annoying. (Diane, Jessie, Carl, Linda, Silas, Lindsey and Clarence) 5.

I think I've heard that too. But with many of these 'urban myths'.. is there actually any basis to the claim? I mean.. if you had a peculiar attraction to licorice, chances are it would actually *raise* a man's testosterone levels (presuming he had not been castrated beforehand). > HTF do you spell licorice?

Ever read a Tori lyric and think "WTF is that about?" Well, I got to find out what Speed Racer is about. I knew it was a cartoon before, but last night I was looking for something to veg in front of for half an hour before going to bed, so checking the tv guide to see what was on, and my eyes nearly pop out of my head when I see 'Speed Racer'. All that boy does when he's in trouble is gasp, no wonder he bloody died. But there was one quote that cracked me up (from the villain) "...and I'm near the top of Interpol's list. I'm wantered for robbery, murder... and I cheated at domino's. I needed the pocket money" Ok well, I thought it was funny.

That puts the fear of God in me: FotR in two hours. "Abridged" is a weak word to describe that result. The three-hour version is already sliced up, just what can you delete from /it/? THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING Frodo: Hi, Gandalf! Gandalf: Bilbo, give him your ring. Bilbo: Okay. Bye! Gandalf: See you at the pub, Frodo. Frodo: Doo-de-do. Nazgul: Boo! Frodo: Eeeek! Merry: (pops up out of nowhere) Eeeek! Pippin: (ditto) Eeeek! Sam: Ha ha, can't catch us now! Tom Bombadil: Hello little friends! Frodo: No time for you, weirdo. Tom Bombadil: (disappears) Saruman: See, all I had to do was cross out "Good" on my business cards and write "Bad," and I'm all set. Gandalf: I never saw /that/ coming. Saruman: Excuse me while I tend to my vast army of evil orcs and war machinery which were in plain sight. Gandalf: Alas, if only he had imprisoned me at the top of a high tower without walls or ceiling so that he could not prevent a giant eagle from rescuing me, instead of in the canonical dungeon deep underground. Oh, wait. Frodo: (whispering) Keep a low profile. Pippin: (loudly) And don't mention your real name, right? Merry: (loudly) Or the ring either, right? Strider: Right. Don't mention the ring. (laughs) It's okay, I'll save you. Pippin: (whining) Are we there yet? Nazgul: Bwa ha ha ha. Give us the ring, little worm. Frodo: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names- Sam: Hmm, looks like swords work too. Strider: Go away, bad men! Nazgul: The five of us must flee, for we are outnumbered by this one Ranger! Frodo: Wow, we're in Rivendell! Merry: That was easy. Pippin: Don't knock it. Sam: Elves are cool! Elrond: Get the hell out of my place, I don't need trouble. Gimli: You can't throw them out while I'm here! Legolas: Same for me! Elrond: Right, all of you wankers leave now. Gandalf: But I just got here. Boromir: I'll just invite myself along. No real reason. Certainly not because I have larceny on my mind. Nope. Strider: Look, they fixed my sword! (swish) Wheeeee! Frodo: Such beautiful scenery. The green grass and leaves are so- [THUD] Pippin: Where the hell did all this snow come from? Gandalf: Don't blame me. Who knew that mountains could be cold on top? Gimli: Told you we should go through the mines. Strider: Let the dwarf have his way. Legolas: Fine, whatever, just open the door. Gimli: Ummm, I have no idea how to get inside. Boromir: What a bunch of dicks. Gandalf: Of course! (applies C4 to the problem) [POOF] Sam: Such magic. Merry: Ooooo, dead dwarf over here! Gimli: Boo hoo. Pippin: HEY MONSTERS, COME AND GET US!! Gandalf: Twit. Orcs: Oh good, we were getting hungry. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to keep an army fed in these abandonded mines? Boromir: (Slash) Legolas: (Pfft) Gimli: (Whack) Orcs: This is definitely putting a damper on our relationship. Frodo: Ouch! Strider: Alas, the Ring-bearer has perished! Our quest has failed! Frodo: Just kidding. I did the slide-blade-between-arm-and-chest trick while I was standing in profile to y'all. Pretty funny, eh? Balrog: Dammit, I was sound asleep. That really ticks me off. Gandalf: We are so doomed. Strider: Not if we run away! (does so) Boromir: First good idea you've had. (follows) hobbits: (already in the lead) Gandalf: (trailing) It matters not! You cannot outrun the demon! Legolas: We don't have to . . . Gimli: . . . we just have to outrun *you*. Balrog: Your ass is mine, wizard. (drags Gandalf down with him) Strider: Woe is upon our company, that Gandalf has fallen! Frodo: I'm over it. Sam: Yeah, let's go, there's no food here. Legolas: Wondrous are these woods! Gimli: And full of cutthroat elves. Celeborn: We were told of your coming. Well, "warned" is more accurate. Galadriel: I know you better than you know yourselves. Sam: You've got nothing better to do with your time? Galadriel: Wake up, Frodo, and look in the mirror. Frodo: Geez, can't a guy get some sleep around here? What mirror are you babbling about, there's just this birdbath full of water. Galadriel: But it shows magic pictures of things that may or may not be! Frodo: I'm guessing you're a day trader. Here, you take the ring. Galadriel: I will not. (hangs her head) I lost the instructions. Frodo: Great, I'm still stuck with it. Celeborn: Check-out time! Pippin: (singing) Row row row your boat, gently down- Gimli: Shut the hell up. Seven hours of that is enough. Strider: All this beautiful scenery is giving me a very bad feeling. Boromir: Give me the ring. Frodo: Notice as I put it on that it not only makes me invisible, it also apparently teleports me away from your clutches. Boromir: Arrrrrgghhh! I'm just trying to save my kingdom! Where is a rake I can step on, that it might strike my head? Ah, this will do nicely. (whack) Frodo: Best thing for me to do now is head for the most dangerous place in the world. Sam: Works for me. (they leave) SuperOrcs: Kill kill kill! Merry: Help, help, Auntie Em! (waves his tiny sword pathetically) Pippin: Christ, look at the size of these guys, we're dead meat. Boromir: Fear not, little hobbits, I shall blow my special horn and we shall be rescued by soldiers . . who are . . hundreds . . of . . miles . . away . . guess we are pretty stuffed after all. (dies) SuperOrcs: Kill kill kill! Legolas: Look at my form. Damn, I'm good. Gimli: I'm environmentally friendly --- blood makes the grass grow. Strider: Looks like Frodo got away. Well, there's no chance in hell I'm going to step one foot closer to Mordor, so let's go the exact opposite direction. Legolas: Okay. Gimli: Sure. THE END Yeah, that's about two hours. ------------------------------ End of oztori-digest V2 #15 ***************************
