Which reminds me- have you seen "Team America-World Police" yet? :-D

What a lovely troll!

I don't think that's what it is. I think she's a girl, and I
think she's 15, and I think she just discovered usenet.

You guys are just jaded, cynical and curmudgeonly.

-blush- Thank you! That's the nicest thing anybody has said to me in
ages!

Now back to this girl at age 15. If, at the age of 15, she is posing
this question seriously, then either she has been seriously underserved
by the school system or she is the sort of slacker one finds hanging
out at the mall when she should be in class.

Being a volunteer TARC mentor I deal with teens regularly, and I am
happy to report that they are bright, intelligent, and highly
motivated. And they are intelligent enough to know how to use a spell
checker.

Yes, it is. Do you want your career to include the phrase " Do
you want fries with that ? ".



Rush Limbaugh thinks it is a big deal. ;-)

Years after graduation, I was getting my hair cut by a woman
who began to talk angrily about her horrible dance teacher, becoming
more and more angry as she went on (Her use of a straight razor made
this more interesting from my POV). She eventually gave the woman's
name and it was the same lousy drama teacher I had in high school.



And then she told you she never wanted to be a barber...she wanted to be
a lumberjack. ;-)

Hell, around one tenth of this newsgroup doesn't use a spell checker.
Scott Lowther only uses one when he's in an odd (you know...good) mood. :-)

...Oh great, the "all pedophiles are trekkies" bit

Hey, tell Herb. Those were his links, not mine, Bob. This is
the first time I've heard anyone make a connection between
Trekkers and child molesters.

I get points for every troll I roast, and I'm working on a toaster.

Next month the prize is a blender.
