Yep.  10469 isn't.  Looking forward to moving out, just like everyone else who lives there.

I've thrown up in 3 of the 5 boroughs.

I am Dio's favorite person.

[Diomedes]

Second only to myself, sweetie.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I smell a wedding.

[rjs246]

That's funny. I smell chili ass.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Stop licking your dog's sack.

[rjs246]

I would never. Feed my dog my chili. It's far too delicious and I want it all. In fact I barely let other humans eat it.

Yeah I wouldn't lick her sack either. Whether or not it is because she doesn't have a sack, I will leave up to you to figure out.

enough

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Got the other two movies today from Blockbuster, as I expected.  I can deal with 2 days each way at times.

Might still stick with Netflix, though.

Netflix admits to "throttling" heavy users.

Netflix typically sends about 13 movies per month to Villanueva's home in Warren, Mich. — down from the 18 to 22 DVDs he once received before the company's automated system identified him as a heavy renter and began delaying his shipments to protect its profits.
The same Netflix formula also shoves Villanueva to the back of the line for the most-wanted DVDs, so the service can send those popular flicks to new subscribers and infrequent renters.

The little-known practice, called "throttling" by critics, means Netflix customers who pay the same price for the same service are often treated differently, depending on their rental patterns.

"I wouldn't have a problem with it if they didn't advertise `unlimited rentals,'" Villanueva said. "The fact is that they go out of their way to make sure you don't go over whatever secret limit they have set up for your account."

Los Gatos, Calif.-based Netflix didn't publicly acknowledge it differentiates among customers until revising its "terms of use" in January 2005 — four months after a San Francisco subscriber filed a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company had deceptively promised one-day delivery of most DVDs.
