Agreed. Though I think Ryan Seacrest said the figure was closer to 10,000 that filled the Key Arena. Especially in this country, you have to know what you're up against when you audition for AI. It's not like it's a totally secret process :shakehead I disagree that AI went out of their...

I was disappointed when I drove through Alligator Alley. I didn't see a single gator :(

Fire damage to the actual structure, if I'm not mistaken, is usually covered by whatever insurance coverage (either comprehensive, or fire only) that is paid for by the owner. Renter's insurance, if any, usually just covers the contents and not the structure itself. Same if you live in a...

Hoosier, I don't know if you were referring to laser printers in your OP, but as BKP said these are a different beast. In consumer and even small-office grade laser printers, the "cartridge" consists of not just the toner, but the drum and some of the associated hardware as well. This is...

That's true as well, if you are professional shutterbug and need or simply want *stunning* then you definitely want the best equipment, and be willing to pay accordingly. But, is that necessary for the average consumer wanting to show off their latest vacation pics or their children's school...

Not only that Kim, but now that so many places (again in the US, don't know about Japan or Europe) offer high quality, low cost photo printing off digital sources, both self-serve and traditional clerk-behind-the-counter style, it almost seems pointless to use a home photo printer nowadays...

No protestation, just a statement of fact. How I even got around to watching the show's premiere audition episodes was seeing some of the dispatchers watching it one night. As far as taking it too seriously, well it's American Idol. You can't take the show, or its hosts (in particular Simon...

It's also well known, at least in the US, that printer manufacturers make more money on "consumables" like printer cartridges and paper than they do on printers themselves. In some cases, a replacement cartridge is 50% or more the cost of the original printer. That's especially true for the...

Yes Simon is an Englishman (I'm surprised you didn't recognize the accent). He is quite sarcastic, but I think that too is part of the appeal of the show. Jeremy Clarkson is a bit more subtle, but not a lot more subtle. He can be just as sarcastic as Simon, but unlike the AI host he also...

Actually I don't blame the producers of American Idol so much as I blame something called the "William Hung" effect. For those who don't know who he is, William Hung is a guy who auditioned on AI a few years back. Imagine a pudgy, buck-toothed guy singing (or trying to sing) Ricky Martin's...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/01/15/nrac15.xml Let's see if your local AAA driver will go this far? :D

Already addressed earlier.

I was thinking, if you can somehow keep it non-political (or as close as possible) you might be able to post it as a inspirational story.

While I had originally wanted to debate you sentence for sentence, as you can see I've decided to edit it out. You have your notions about the way things work, and there's nothing I can say to change your mind. Heck, I've already tried (as well as others) and you still want to believe want...

The thread is still in there. It was locked but hasn't "disappeared" like so many others like it. Click on DB's link.

Radio station DJ's and their producers aren't well known for pre-clearing stuff with their lawyers if they know a stunt will generate ratings. Several years ago, a local pair of DJ's on a popular morning show "faked" a call-in from an individual who claimed to know what happened to a real...

Perhaps we should post an important part of that website to make it clear to everybody that what Hawaiian Airlines did is perfectly legal:

Sorry leesa, but it wasn't Paula who was the dance double, but Marine Jahan, a French actress and dancer. A few specific scenes were done by a professional gymnast. Paula may have choreographed the dance routines, and she's actually done a lot more of this than singing.

Agreed catherine. This thread is also in the history books for the fact that NOT ONCE DID ANDY DISAGREE WITH ME :D :D :D Oh BTW I'm not Hawaiian, but when I visit the locals often mistake me for one of them and will sometimes spout off the pidgin. Occasionally I'll get the kama'aina...
