The nick just didn't jibe. IRC is strange. Heh. I guess this is -chat, so I can build you a different picture: - In Australia, I did have a (relatively) nice sports car, and I did drive along the beach. But I didn't drink worth mentioning there. - But I live in Kalifornia now. And I don't have a sports car (although I am trying to fix that). And I drink nasty white wine out of a box these days, albeit still not very much. I'd also suggest an altavista search for "Spaced Invaders" if you want to understand where the nick came from. It's actually even more appropriate than you might think. 8) (Although if you are thinking of little ziploc baggies full of white powder, you are *definitely* on the wrong track.) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
