Re: [MMouse]: Influences
Wow, y'know what's even sadder? i was in an indie record store here in seattle and some little girl, couldn't've been more than 10, came in and walked around for a few minutes before coming up to the counter, where i was chatting with the clerk, and asking where the insync cds were. we busted up laughing before we tryed to sell her on death cab for cutie and modest mouse. she insisted that we point her to the instink so i pointed her to the door, telling her that she'd have to go to sam crappy or came-a-lot to buy that junk. if you aren't laughing, then its never happened to you... ~Mike ps: if anybody was that clerk, could you tell me what store it was? i forgot.

Re: [MMouse]: Ms. Love's Manifesto
I do, Nevermind sold something like 15 million copies i think, and i read that he signed up for royalties instead of flat fee in his record contract, so even at $2 an album, which was what courtney put out in her speech, that's enough to live till the end of a long life with out working while supporting a pretty good heroin habit. he sure as hell wasn't poor... ~Mike In a message dated 2000-06-16 9:57:36 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I don't think Kurt Cobain is rich, per-se...

Who says there is no such thing as gracious winners?] Keep reading, Justin Dear Dr. Laura, Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them: When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this? I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify? I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear prescription glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Re: [MMouse]: re: cities.
As far as Portland is concerned, if you think that this city is full of arrogant people then you really haven't been to other cities. In my humble opinion this is one of the most friendly, laid back, cities to exist. It just might be the most. The east coast for sure has nothing but cities that ignore you unless you know where to go, and any of most of the others people are just to busy to notice or care about you. I do like New Orleans though (atleast, only for a couple of weeks at the most). Nope, not #1, Fremont in Seattle. That is the most laid back and cool neighborhood on the planet. Portland might come in #2 but Fremont takes the cake. They have a giant mock-up of a rocketship labeled, "The Center of the Universe" and every other person is wearing tie-dye.

[MMouse]: Metallica has opened the floodgates...
well all of you loyal napster users, we could be in for quite a ride this summer... From Student.com Following in Metallica's foosteps, rap superstar Dr. Dre has given Napster until Friday to remove all of his songs from its servers and database. "We wrote a letter yesterday on behalf of Dr. Dre to Napster basically putting them on notice that the listing of his songs and masters on Napster and the facilitation of the transfer of those files constitutes an infringement of his copyrights," Howard King, an attorney for Dre, told Reuters. "Dr. Dre has not committed to suing them, but that would be the logical conclusion if they don't take it off their site." Attorney King is also handling Metallica's lawsuit against Napster, which was filed late last week. King also tells Reuters that "no less than 10" artists and one major publishing company have contacted him about pursuing legal action against the software company.

Re: [MMouse]: Re: pinball blues, baby.
you want old-school pinball??? there is this place about 5 miles from where i live, sells the absolute best ice cream anywhere, and they have a 10ยข pinball machine, not a typo, a DIME! this thing is ancient, it even has the real rollover score display. it makes a lot of noise and has no computers, it rules, i once spent an entire day wth a couple of friends trying to make it rollover, but we couldn't do it (none of my friends are pinball gods like some of the residents of this list). resisting sudden urge to play pinball... ~Mike

[MMouse]: [OT] 6th anniversary of the passing of a god
6 years ago today, about 5 miles from my house, kurt cobain got wasted, wrote a note and blew his head off with a shotgun. There is a memorial at the seattle center today, but i can't go, if you do then tell me how it was. Just thought i'd let everybody know, and don't forget to email "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with your favorite nirvana song, they'll count down the top ten tonight at 10pm and those of you not from seattle can listen at the website http://www.1077theend.com. On a side note, i tried to get my school to lower the flag to half-mast, but they wouldn't do it :( done rambling, ~Mike
[MMouse]: waffles on the radio?
i heard a reference to waffle house hasbrowns in a song by the bloodhound gang (i think) i don't remember the title, but it was on the radio so i'm sure someone out there does... ~Mike the newbie
