I'm not saying my answers to some of those.

#7 = Diet coke :^0

by jck

on the shelf next to you (as seen in the last TROLOV)!

Don't worry tho. I usually have 2-6 empty Diet Coke bottles next to my monitor on a little printer stand.

But it is a horrible noise when I bump the stand with my knee and the bottles go tumbling to the linoleum floor...BONG BING BONG! :^0

Thanks for the fun :)

I was stuck thinking you were referring to the word 'bat' (as in Batch file) in some way.

Thanks for posting!

by captbilly1eye

#5 refers to Matt Dillion. But I think you meant Matt Dillon.
Matt Dillion is an actor.
Matt Dillon was the character name of the Marshall in Gunsmoke.

like I said..... minor.

Thanks again for the fun diversion.

I did mispell it - I do love Gunsmoke though and Bonanza (Didn't care much for Green Acres) :-D

just various empty diet Coke bottles on top of the printer/scanner, or around it on the stand. Not sure how many are there right now, but probably more than 3 and less than 12 :^0

I used to have a bottle collection, including Dr. Pepper collectables from Univ. of Oklahoma national championships, and I still have a 750ml of Jamie '08 scotch that is unopened and will remain so until the night of my bachelor party...whenever in the next 40 years that might (or might not) happen. :^0

but a drive from Atlanta to Louisville is a drive, from NY to Florida is a Hard Drive.

Just being nit picky.
