This is disgraceful. Seriously? Why don't we just live in a world with no risk/reward, no competition, and no reason to excel. Sounds FAIR right? WTF?

What do you think Gulch? With a young son about to start school (home school hybrid) this escpecially hits home as it is EXACTLY what I do NOT want taught to him

    As I said on another post, I've been let out of my cell for a bit of R&R. They'll be coming to put me back in any time now :-(

    Damn. I didn't know the mention of VHS would draw out the DragonLady. Yes, the cloud is actually good for some things. Love Netflix, but it could be a whole lot better. I miss my Ice Road Truckers and The Ghost Adventures.

    Hey, I have VHS, too, and it works just fine!!! Have to keep it to watch the collection of tapes I have. But I also have a DVD player to watch my discs. I'm running out of space, thank goodness for the Cloud.

    Yes, and damn, VHS? Yep, you're overdue for an upgrade. I think the DVD is like maybe $10 at a pawn shop. DVD players are real cheap too. No, nothing from Spartacus!

    Are you talking about the movie "Gladiator"? With Russell Crow? If so, I tried to watch it the other night...(found a vhs at goodwill last week)...needless to say my vcr (yes I STILL have a vcr), but it took a crap and now the movie is stuck in it and I can't get it out. Couldn't watch it either. :( If not.... what ARE you talking about? And if you say these names are in Spartacus I will die from embarrassment.

    Ok, you made me look it up. I was off on the spelling on the first word (no surprise), it's actually Gluteous. I always laugh at the idea of that being his answer when asked what is his name. Soldiers laughing.

    "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!" ~ Maximus Decimus Meridius, aka The Gladiator. Not to be confused with his highly unpopular, and much less successful half-brother, Glutius Maximus. :P

    Lol good one. No interuptus in Spartacus. Or "almost" anything when a gladiator is involved.
