Before you said that,I should have said:
You know what Im gonna do
Im gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible
Hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (yeah)
And Im gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin' 1 mile per gallon,
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when Im done sucking down those greeseball burgers
Im gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then Im gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side
And there aint a goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why, because weve got the bombs, thats why
2 words, nuclear fucking weapons, OK?
Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cakewalk
Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square
and it wont make a lick of difference
Because weve got the bombs, OK?
John Wayne's not dead, hes frozen, and as soon as we find a cure for
cancer
Were gonna thaw out the duke and hes gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why,
Have you ever taken a cold shower, well multiply that by 15 million
times
Thats how pissed off the dukes gonna be!
I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes,
and Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey,
and drive down to Texas and say.....

All right cool I'll give out the links tomorrow im way to tired to get
into it right now. Also there is a patch i can give you for sp2 xp, when
you installed xp it limited the max number of concurent tcp incoming (or
outgoing im tired i cant recall) per second to 10 and only 10... before
it was unlimited, they did this to stop dumbass who were infected and
didnt know it but were on highspeed from infecing other people /slamming
thier isps with traffic that need not be. any ways this patch you can
set it higher, i have mine at 250 and it helped big time too!

Cool...my speeds should fly with that! Just got some cool shit
lastnight to. A cool Zeppelin show,Mark Lanegan's The Winding
Sheet,and a Nirvana show from 9/25/91....cool performance of
Vendetagainst on that one! Got a bunch of Screaming Trees and Lanegan
stuff(Methanphetamine Blues is an awsome fucking song!!! Highly
suggest it!),as well as some J Masics and the Fog off Limewire.
I'm going to have to invest in an external HD for all my shows and
shit in the next few months!
