    Boston! The Clash! A bit of Celtic/Irish -- yeah, I can dig it. Just don't try to make me watch "Lord of the Dance" like my brother-in-law did! You got it -- a bit of everything. I saw the Clash in concert at New Orleans. Real down-home kind of people, really. Very friendly...

    First issue Feedback

    I wonder ... how long before I receive my first issue if I'm a U.S. subscriber? Anticipation can be a good thing, but ... It'll probably be in the mail Monday. (Subscribed Feb. 2)

    The Five Best War Movies Ever

    Re: Re: Dorosh on the Welch (sic) This may be a pun I don't get. Or is it an insult? This statement is pretty bizarre. I saw both movies and can't remember hair being much of an issue. How does one crewcut or self-cut hairdo vary that much? In other words, what facts do you base this...

    The Five Best War Movies Ever

    Kelly's Heroes, Where Eagles Dare, Dirty Dozen, Catch-22, and Slaughterhouse Five are all part of the same mix of fantasy and/or humor along with the WW2 setting. If you can't take fantasy or humor there's something wrong with you. Still, I'll admit not all the above are to everyone's taste...

    The Five Best War Movies Ever

    Can't forget Kelly's Heroes! One of my favs. Another new fav is When Trumpets Fade -- gritty movie. I've never seen Siege of Firebase Gloria (Khe Sanh?). Where Eagles dare is such great fun -- I can watch it over and over. And then there's always The Guns Of Navaronne.

    I like Black Sabbath. Does that count? I liked Henry Rollins for a time. The Sex Pistols are definitely punk. Dead Kennedys are close. Hmm. I like Soundgarden. Then again on the other hand, Chicken Salad is a complete wuss who listens to girly music. ;)

    My new( Now old) PC.

    Shop locally, pay globally. ;) Not really, but I tried putting money in the local economy at one computer shop. Eventually I found that the RAM they sold me was bad and I also couldn't find a good case from them. I too like Igotmilk have found no problems shopping at Newegg.com. I ordered...
