self-linkification is an abomination of sportsfilteration.

[DonKingText = "1"] In all of this great and wonderfulized nation of Sporfilteration, never have we laid our wearyfied eyes upon the dastardly provocation of evilness like the unmitigated, unjustifiable, unhumanicized self-linkification. When our bewitching, captivating and glamourized land is assailed and defiled by this repugnant, repulsive, and revolting affrontery, we have to take up our arms and throw down our gauntlets and cauterize this festering wound before it envelops us all!

I always pictured WC2K2's voice as a bit higher in tone and British, but sly and sarcastic like Mr. Belvedere. I'm right, aren't I?

Resist self-linking we must. Submit to the Dark Side we must not.

Have you seen 'Pirates of the Carribean?' Quality Keira all over that piece. Oh, I have seen it. Enjoyed it too. And "Bend It Like Beckham", but not for the same reasons. My reference to "look her up" was the fact that her character is barely mentioned and not too many SW-geeks would know who played her in the movie.

If the presuppositions that have hitherto been current are to melt away in a full dissolution, they must not be dissolved into a higher presupposition again - a thought, or thinking itself, criticism. For that dissolution is to be for my good; otherwise it would belong only in the series of innumerable dissolutions. I'm with Max on this one
