okay, answer to your first question....
windows on a mac (mac OS doesn't support right click, i don't think)

And second question...
Chain steakhouses are never as good as independant operations/but the view is alright, i guess.

You know,  I started reading this thread from a hotel room after I've been on the road for three weeks and being in a shitty/zero tolerance state of mind and the first thing I thought off when I read the first post of this thread was "Did anyone ban this idiot yet?". Then, when I got to your second reply, where you argued that you didn't spam our boards, I wanted to bitch slap you. But as I finished reading the thread and noticed that your had a decent attitude and appoligized for your stupidity, I second guessed my insticts to ban you and now I am left with a dilema. Do I give you a second chance, or am I going to be a bastard and ban you because I'm in a crappy mood? And then, clarity came! I noticed you are in Montreal so I think a little test is in order and how you fare on this test will determine the outcome of my dilema.

What is the Tuesday lunch special at the Peel pub, and who is the manager? (located on Peel street in Montreal)

If you can answer this correctly, then I will accept your apology and forgive any wrong doing you are guilty of. If you do not know the answer, then salvation can only be found in the form of a lizard queen. That means you would have to draw yourself as the lizard queen in MS paint, and post it in this thread using the attachment feature. And I will tell you something my friend, that is a very geeky thing to do. Cheers!

damn it... uhh.. i've never actually been to peel pub for lunch, just for copious amounts of drinking.. so i can't answer the lunch special but the manager there is Sterios Mimidakis.

Shouldn't the Lizard Queen have a crown, or at least a tiara?  Other than that, she looks fabulous!

Holy crap!  You need a lesson in speeding without getting caught.

I call my "system" the "guinea pig method".  Here's what I do:
  • Do the speed limit when you don't have a guinea pig.
  • Wait and watch for someone to go past you at a higher rate of speed.  This chump becomes your guinea pig.
  • Allow the guinea pig to get about 1/4 to 1/3 of a mile ahead of you and then match his speed.
  • Watch his tail-lights.
  • When he brakes (especially at the top of a crest or the apex of a curve in the road), slow down to the posted speed
  • Watch your rear view mirror regularly.[/list:u]I've been known to average 80+ MPH when I travel from Ohio to Maryland every month.  I've not gotten a ticket in many many years.

    Oh, and some generally good thoughts on speeding can be found here EHOWA Thoughts on speeding (potentially NSFW ads)
