I did enjoy your article. The point I was trying to make is that you have to be careful when getting premium channels like HBO etc. Most carry some late night stuff that would have been X-rated 25 years ago. It's not hard to figure what you're getting when you subscribe to something like EXXXstacy or Gonzo Sex.

My dish is equipped with a rating for every show so you can block movies that have an R for sex or violence and still enjoy the other movies on that channel.

For some reason, when I logged on earlier, I missed your post. You know when you click on "SubjectMarks," next to "Don't Ask Rambi" it will have the number of new posts, and if you click on that you get the new posts, but if you click on "Don't Ask Rambi" you get a list of the last 40 posts? Well, I clicked on the number, and your post wasn't in them. The only way I found it was when I searched backwards for something. So maybe everyone missed it at first?

I just saw it and I liked it...but I have to tell you that the part that I-I-I think I liked the best was about the "lines from movies"... Made me LAFF because I know a guy who always sounds so damned witty and sly... but it's because he memorizes lines from movies so that he can pop them off whenever a vaguely appropriate opportunity presents itself... Have to admit that I'm still impressed... About the only "line" I can ever come up with, is one that I use when I'm being BS-ed around....

when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw

Trouble is, there don't seem to be too many Hamlet fans out there.... (-:
