    I've been on hold with Comcast this entire time, so I couldn't use my dial-up Compuserve connection.

    Thanks. all.

    My original post could be considered a welcome, but in case it wasn't recognized as such: Welcome back. It's been a little less awesome without you.

    Which reminds me of something I think I heard on the Ark.

    A/an [insert non-snooty university name here] student is visiting [insert snooty private university name here], stops one of the locals and asks "Excuse me, where's the library at?"

    The local student frowns and says "Here at [Snooty U], we never end our sentences with a preposition!".

    The [NonSnooty U] guy replies "I'm sorry. Where's the library at, asshole?"

    The texan side of my family chose "Texas Aggie" and "Harvard", but I am sure any region would have its equivalents.

    Made all the more amusing by the fact that it's not actually a rule of English grammar, and thus, this is the sort of thing up with which I shall not put.

    It's a silly bullshit rule made up by early grammarians(and quickly thrown away) trying to make English conform to the grammar rules of Latin, and it has never actually been a rule of grammar.

    What Churba said. Seriously though, some sentences that are ended with prepositions just sound stupid. I mean, is it really necessary to add "at" to the end of "where are you?" The question is already complete.

    Also, hey Joe!

    Which borough? If you're from Staten Island, you can shove it where the sun don't shine.

    You're obviously from Brisbane.

    Born in San Fransisco, moved to Rockville, MD when I was 4, then to North Potomac, MD (like 10 minutes from the first townhouse we moved into), then Rochester NY for collage, then back to MD in Gaithersburg (again, like 10 minutes from my parents' place), then to Piffard, NY for about a month. Then on to Buffalo, NY for a couple of years and finally to Albany, NY.

    ATF Agent Bork: Chief, you know that guy whose camper they were whacking off in?
    ATF Agent Flemming (appalled): Bork! You are a federal agent! You represent the United States Government! Never end a sentence with a preposition! Try again.
    Bork: Oh, uh... You know that guy in whose camper they... I mean that guy off in whose camper they were whacking?
    Flemming: That's better. Yes?

    I've spent my entire life in one of two suburbs of Boston, MA, and a small city or town, I'm not sure which, that's right next to those suburbs.
