    Maximum PC

    The last time I renewed my maximum pc subscription, I went through some website that offered two years for the price of one. Of course, being two years ago, I no longer have the link, and I'm sure the offer's expired anyway. Anyone have any deals for this magazine? Or Sports Illustrated...

    Powerball / Lotto tickets

    When you buy your lottery tickets for Powerball or Lotto, and are spending more than $1, do you get your numbers on the same ticket, or seperate tickets? Why are people superstitious about getting their numbers on the same ticket? Or vice versa?

    Who has satellite radio?

    I have Sirius, have had it for a year now, and I can honestly say I don't know how I went without it all this time. Whenever I listen to terrestrial radio now, I cringe, it's so bloated with commercials and ****** programming/songs/repetition. I listen all day at work (in a 36 story tower)...

    Everyone put on MSNBC at 3:00PM EST.

    I have no idea what show is on, but they're going live from Bushnell Park in Hartford, CT. I saw them setting up a little while ago. You might even possibly see me walk by and wave....or heckle....or flip them off. :) I'm pretty sure it has to do with the elections tomorrow.

    Federal Withholding - W4 questions.

    I've never really understood on the W4 you fill out when starting a job the number of allowances. If you're single, how many allowances should you be claiming? If you claim two, they should take out more taxes from your check, then you're guaranteed to get money back in April, right?

    ESPN Sunday Night Football Announcers

    Mike is a GREAT play by play football announcer, and Paul McGuire and Joe Theisman all blend and gel perfectly together. Why not keep the trio to do the Monday night games next season??? I'm only watching the Pro Bowl right now to hear them announce one last game together.

    Funeral Processions: Do they have to stop at red lights?

    So, I'm out getting a bite to eat when I come to a red light. I'm second in line, so not really paying too much attention to the crossing traffic as there was a truck in front of me. So, our light turns green, the truck goes, and all of a sudden he slams his brakes on and just barely avoided a...

    WWE goes politically correct.

    They live off angles regarding patriotism. Remember the days of Sgt. Slaughter vs. The Iron Shiek? They should be ashamed of themselves for bowing to the political correct jackasses out there.

    Verizon Text Messaging rates increasing

    I'm really starting to hate Verizon. They nickle and dime you for every little service, and on my bill this month, in small little print, I noticed a little blurb that said incoming text messages are increasing from 2 cents to 10 cents per message received. Outgoing texts will remain at .10...

    Bud Light "Real Men Of Genius" Radio Commercials

    Is Billy Squier gay?

    Happy Birthday Billy! Someone on a local morning radio show made a reference that he might be gay. Not that I'd think of him in a different light, because his music is pure genius, like Elton John.
