    Yea, and anyway, when you think about it, it's not really a stunt that you'd particularly want to pull. The first thing most people who've read it and believed it would do is start leeching the downloads like there's no tomorrow in an effort to grab everything before the site goes strictly commercial. Depending on the amount of traffic, this could be a problem.

    The second issue would be the inevitable threads upon threads of outrage, anger and flaming.

    Finally, even after the joke was up, it'd probably leave a bad taste in many people's mouths.

    So this is really one of those things that seem like a good idea for the first five minutes, but upon reflection, not really.

    Oh, and don't think that this is the first time anyone's pulled that stunt. I've seen it done at least three times over the last 10 years.

    So I may be on a schedule of working in the morning, napping in the afternoon, sports in the evening and internet at night...

    I need a life, don't I?

    :sick: Keith Richards admitted to mixing his father's ashes with cocaine and snorting them. That's like a perfect ten on the 'wrongness' scale. :sick:

    Isn't Keith Richards the one who fell out of a coconut tree or something? He seems weird anyway

    Well...the upcoming road trip is looking like it's going to be a lot less fun. My friend wanted to stop at a strip club since we'll be outside of Utah...but we'd have to drive another 150 miles from where we're going to get to the nearest strip club...so that's not going to happen. :rolleyes:

    The booze and illegal firework shopping spree is still on, although, I might be buying Jessica a handgun later this month...so my extra funds might be less than ideal. :bad: But we're still going! :D :rolling:

    Last day of school before easter. My shooting begins next monday. This is going to be the end of me. Camera, Spotlights, rails (for perfect camera mouvement), microphones, amphibiant equipment (we will film underwater!), actors, the team (Director, Cameraman, Soundwoman, me, make up team, photographer). In all, about 10 person in a tinny place plus all that stuff for serevals long hours... Yay! We have a pretty restricted budget too, about 1,200$. Oh well a man's gotta do what's a man gotta do eh?

    That's just WRONG :eek:

    No, I really just think he has no respect for dead. Snoring your father's ashes mixex with cocaine? That's just wrong in my book.
