"Honeymoon In Beirut"  - Rick Springfield

{Some of the lyrics:}

"Strategy and maneuvers (have replaced) any love that was here.  We have dinner in silence, and bullets with beer.  I don't know what you want:  my defeat, or complete surrender...or peace in our time.  While in bed we draw the battle line

"Honeymoon in Beirut.  There are not peace talks pending...no quarter given.  (There's just) Blood on the bed...where there used to be love..."

Ok, the correct show is now uploaded. Sorry about that. The file names were apparently too similar for me to bother to tell the difference.

...I'd promise it won't happen again, but I probably shouldn't.

-----------------------------------------------------

It's OK, BdB...we drink while we're putting it together, too...

The song at the beginning and end of the podcast is "Dreams I'll Never See" - Molly Hatchet (1978)...

====================================

mores
pronounced "mo-RAY"
definintion: moral attitudes, habits, manners, ways

(And, after locating the e-mail message he sent, Robert did correctly spell it...)

===================================

I was trying to desribe to Robert a method of contraception, but couldn't remember the term for it...and the only thing that came to my mind was a yarmulke...I was trying to think of "diaphragm".

------------------------------------------------------

"The Rape-aXe anti rape condom...

"...This device can later be used to identify the attacker and aid in the apprehension of the perpetrator.

"The Rape-aXe system consists of a latex sheath, which contains razor-sharp barbs. The device is worn in her vagina like a tampon. When the attacker attempts vaginal penetration the barbs attach themselves to the penis, causing great discomfort. The device must be surgically removed, which will result in the positive identification of the attacker and subsequent arrest..."

"Spider" in Spanish is "araƱa"...which is also slang for "vagina"...

Robert: "Oh come on! They do that kind of stuff all the time in porn!..."

Slick: "Um...it's 'The Onion"...er...it's a comedy website..."

Robert: "Sily Sily me. Thank You"

Sleep and hibernation: frequently asked questions

Sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player—the computer immediately stops what it’s doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working.

Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops...hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use hibernation when you know that you won't use your laptop for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.
