I ighly doubt Iran is a popular tourist destination to begin with.

BTW, my browser says that page might be a phishing website. I wonder why?

... the hell? That's random.

No PS3 for me. Two reasons. Well, three. Price. Wii. It ain't March in Europe yet.

And the spelling is with a 'y', Odysseus. After the name of the tale, "the Odyssy".

I dunno, I like the name Ivan.

PS3 don't launch 'till March in Europe. Supplies too short. That's why there were only 80,000 (or 100,000, depending on your source) in Japan on launch. Same with 400,000 for the whole of the USA. And they still couldn't scrape together, say, 50,000 for Europe, always third place. Instead, we get it 4 months late. Which means those Wii purchasers among us, those of us who are "moderates, can't make a fair comparison on all points until March, and we're goin' to have to put up with the Sony fanboys disregarding Wii despite it's capabilities, and even more annoyingly, the Nintendo fanboys completely destroying the credibility of a counter-argument with their own fanaticism, for a long time to come yet.

So, yeah, that's what's happening in March.

Oh...
Anyways... there isn't anything I'm willing to buy on the PS3 right now... except for the future installment of Silent Hill 5.

I wish they would do a "remake" of the 1st one because of the pesky controller problem (it's not 3D.) Or have it in a way where I can save it on the latest PS card instead of trying to find an original and working PS1 card.

What burned, as in pain, i.e. cautious in purchase? Or branded, as in Sega-fan, i.e. wait to see which other will catch your eye?

I tend to wait too, if only a while. I'll be waiting till around January for my Wii. Unless I get enough Christmas money.

I find it so hilarious when they're in the South.
It was okay for the men to be kissed.
It was okay for Borat to call a wife ugly.
It was okay for Borat to put his feces in a napkin... infact, one of the wives thought it was cute.
I loved it when Borat does everything wrong, but...

the minute buxom black booty enters their home... and that was the last straw...

New Bond Movie, Casino Royale.

Simply Astounding.

Daniel Craig was also a great bond and acted more like Sean Connerry then Pierce Brosnman.

Plus there was a cock and ball torture.

Ahh. Spartanville, South Carolina. $58 double hotel rooms with free WiFi. Life doesn't get much better than that, huh?

Oh, wait. It does. My entire trip is being funded by the student government association.

Score. =]

Open the person's profile.
Right click and click "view page source".
The direct link address should be right on the header.

It really depends on what browser she is using. If I'm not mistaken, IE uses properties. Firefox uses page source, and all other browsers arn't worth mentioning.

I think it's about time people adopt a russian mob style approach to fundraising for the WM3. Just hold a gun to their head and go, "YOU DONATE, NOW."

On a lighter note, I produced a punk album last night too.

Easiest job in the world, right?

If you have money to save... go to the next best thing.

Invest in bonds, or open a CD account at your bank.
You won't gain much... I put in 3,000 in a CD a year ago and when it matured a few days ago, I only got like 30 bucks investment return.

But hey...
I've put in there so that I wouldn't spend my money and that's the incentive really. I've not only saved my money... but got 30 bucks out of it too.

I'm going to deposit this huge back of coins... and add it with the CD...
Got some people returning some money so if they bring it in, then that will be an additional 300 to 400 bucks.

Etc, etc, etc...

CD's are just great when you just wanna hold on money and lead off temptation but not that great if you wanna get huge returns and stuff. You are a kid still... put in a CD until you're at least 21 years old.

Then your grandpa can't really say anything about you taking on bigger risks.

Forgot how many shares I own.

Not much though, like 8 to 10.

Invest in Wal-Mart. Their stock splits (I think) every 6 months or so, and in few years time you'll easily double or triple your initial investment.

I've got an aunt worked for them for 23 years, and retired with over a quarter of a million dollars in Wal-Mart stock thanks to their profit sharing program and the whole stock splitting deal.
