They Didn't Screw It Up--At Least Not Very Badly

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 02:00:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I just got back from seeing the X-Men, and I have to tell you all that I was impressed. I half-expecting something really terrible. Comic book movies, after all, don't work out very well. Think back on the hackers: The Punisher, Captain America (a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I had a friend of mine build my computer for me (because he was doing it CHEAP), so, unlike those of you who buy from Gateway or any other reputable source (as if anyone expected anyone associated with me to be reputable), I didn't get a free printer...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - The computer guy in my division, who owed me a big favor (you shouldn't get drunk at the office party and disappear from work with the bosses secretary for two days when you're married--even if you've got a clever guy like me covering for you), hooked me...

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 13:10:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - After a recent, freak accident, I was faced with the problem of replacing my computer's hard drive. Replacing the hard drive was easy. I took the cover off my machine, unplugged the busted hard drive, and plugged in the new one. The hard part was setting...

Callow hero, moving tale.

Thu, 18 May 2000 01:37:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - Would anyone out there like to feel that light queasiness, borne of pride, at the sight of Old Glory? Have you forgotten just why it's so great to be an American? Do you remember what we used to stand for? Well, David Brin must written this book just...

A View from the Inside

Wed, 17 May 2000 22:19:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I recently took on a second job at the local Wendy's. I thought it would be a great way to fill my time when I wasn't getting mind-numbingly drunk, and would help put a little extra cash in the coffers for when I leave the Navy this fall. It's done the...

Hey, Rocky, Watch Me Pull A Review Out of My......

Fri, 12 May 2000 00:43:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I'd heard this band a few times on the local alternative station a few years ago. '8:02 PM' and 'Mighty K.C.' were getting airtime, and I liked the songs. I didn't like them well enough to go out and blow $16 on a CD, but I liked them.

More Fun To Eat Than Drink

Wed, 10 May 2000 19:58:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - Bacardi 151 is strong. Not as strong as Everclear, which is like the Incredible Hulk of boozes, but at least as strong as a stony, orange Ben Grimm (aka The Thing). If you're out to just get hammered like a nail, and don't care how what you're drinking...

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 17:10:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - As a younger man in high school, my first drink was a beer. Now, everyone knows you don't drink beer for the taste, and being the conceited, obnoxious, condescending little weenie I was then (I'm a much bigger weenie now), I didn't think that I should...

Florida Times-Union: Give Us, Oh Lord, Our Daily Mullet-Wrapper

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 09:48:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - Well, maybe I should change that title (I'm not going to), seeing as how "mullet-wrapper" can be seen as a derogatory term, especially to those working in the print media. Unfortunately, that's all most of the paper will ever be to me: a...

A Modern Day Mark Twain-Who Appreciates a Stiff (Boat) Drink

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 19:01:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - How can you not love Jimmy Buffett. The man does what everyone modern country singer tries and fails to do: string words together in a "punny" manner and have it come out being clever. It's a trick that St. Buffett (patron saint of...

How Come They Never Became Stars Themselves?

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 18:17:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I love the sound of a woman's voice, and Tonya has a killer set of pipes, a voice that I can remember in some detail even after not having heard it for months (I wish my memory worked like that when I went to the store). The first time I heard this lady...

It's No "Why Don't We Get Drunk...," but Is More Appropriate

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 17:47:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I've had this album since before Sarah was deservedly recognized for "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy." (Canadian girlfriend--she left over all the French jokes. I guess she considered it an insult to her heritage or something.) Now, you wouldn't...

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 11:31:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - My Bellsouth account is my first foray into the world of cellular communications, so I wasn't really sure what was good or bad about it or any of it's competitors.

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 00:08:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I read "The Gunslinger" when I was in high school, over 10 years ago. It was one of the most interesting things I had ever picked up. It defied category. What genre was it supposed to belong to: science fiction, fantasy, horror???? I...

Movie Packages: Whatever.

Tue, 11 Apr 2000 17:49:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I've had my DTV system since I bought my house five years ago. It was a better option than the local cable system, which cost more, and offered fewer options and channels. I was spurred on by the fact that the cable company wanted over $500 to run a...

Um, I Was Just Flipping Through the Channels...

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 20:26:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - Being a manly sort of man, yet also being a being of insight and immense intelligence, I have trouble finding things to watch on TV that hold my attention. Whenever I've had my fill of ESPN and Playboy (hey, my arm's tired) I flip over to channels like...

Gettin' Sticky

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 19:54:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - These are probably some of the best pots/pans I have ever owned. I really liked using the griddle that came with my set to cook fried eggs and pancakes. It was a lot easier than using a skillet.

The no stick coating made all types of cooking...

Koontz, Dean: Mr. Koontz:Use Your Royalties to Buy an Original Idea.

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 19:30:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - It's been a long time since I read this one, but I remember the gist of it. This writer finds out he has an evil double, and decides to go into hiding, with his family, to shake the guy. He ends up being tracked down by the murderous villian anyway,...

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 18:17:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I had a little car trouble with my latest beater-mobile (an '81 Buick Skylark) recently.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - Whenever I drink a Corona, I can't help but remember my first couple of years living in the sunny land of Florida.

Screw you guys, I'm going home...to watch South Park

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 20:55:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I went to see this one in the theatre, and was disappointed that there wasn't a directors cut of this put out when it made it's way to video. I would have liked to have seen what was so bad that the MPAA felt it had to be cut, especially since so much...

Cheese and Sangria

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 20:28:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - "Vampires" is a throwback; cinematic evolution doing a complete 180 degree turn around. It's a cheesy action/horror flick in the vein (no pun intended) of low budget 80's horror films. This film is cheese, but it's more like brie than...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - I used to watch CNN frequently until recently, when a friend of mine who introduced me to libertarian philosophy started pointing out problems with their reporting to me whenever we watched it together.

The more he pointed out, the more I wondered...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clarence034 - Just to preface, let me say that I have never been to St. Louis. AB has breweries other than the one in St. Louis, though, and one of them happen to located right here in Jacksonville, FL.
