Fair enough, but the comment came across as lumping all Mexicans together in the "stupid" category.

Actually, I took it as a play on the brilliant work of Jeff Smith, as per Wyluli's tagline ... in that context, it is pretty clear that not all rat creatures were stupid, so that your inference of "lumping together" was not necessarily what was implied. The behaviour of these particular Mexicans appears to fall in line with those rat creatures who were, in fact, stupid.
Granted, that nuance would be missed by the vast majority of folks.
Cheers.

ahhh... gotcha.. I guess it's not often we read that bit of text under the avatar.
Hmmm... "Bork, bork, bork...." Sounds like a warm-up chant to a Senate Judiciary Commitee meeting... ;)

Alas, it is only the unintelligible (drunken?) ravings of a mustacheoed man in the kitchen .... :P
Cheers.

Ah yes. We live in an overly politically correct society these days. Actually, It was a Jeff Smith Bone reference and focused on the stupidity of it. You gotta love those stupid stupid rat creatures man!!
I'll continue to check this post to see if anyone picked up the machine (which is probably wet by now, but the bezel, monitor etc... could still be saved :cry:
I sure hope someone picked it up. You can't beat Free.....
And lets not forget I will give you the CP and board that I took from it (which have been saved from the wetness)..........
