I must admit that I notice improvement in Propeller's technical functioning.

Some people like to complain at every possible opportunity. Of course, my complaints are always salient and justified. (I'm sure you noticed.) HA!

I've registered. It is a nice one with some swell features in it. Once again,

Thank you.

They fight like, well, animals. I was thinking about making a website "Pu..y Fights" that was basically a bunch of film I was gonna make of them fighting.

Decided not to tho....

Of course if this were an actual eqaution I'd have to do the multiplying first...

Math was always my best subject, english, not so much so, funny because my mom is an English teacher.

Just so ya know, most (if not all) bowling balls don't come drilled, they have to be fitted to the users hand since people have different hand sizes and different throwing styles.

I know this since I actually have a life outside of blogging and bowl in a Sunday afternoon league by my house. (not that that is anything to brag about haha)

I had been contemplating launching a British site that is very similar, called "Twaddle". It seems "Twitter" has beaten me to the punch. An acqaintance I once knew (a madman!), had a webcam site where one could watch his cat all day long. It was called "My P***y". Can you imagine how many hits he got? LOL!

Nobody is obliged to use it.

Frankly, I see no need to "click the links and read the information" to a service which is essentially redundant, and in which I have no interest.

On the other hand, I'm really sorry that Tom Drapeau doesn't have the "$60-150 million" that Aidenag mentions. If he did, he might be able to invest in more competent and productive staff.

That thought leaves me less than enthusiastic about "Twitter."
