   We don'/t actually say oot & aboot, but to n ear uised to "owwwt & abowwwt"   
   it  might seesm that way -- we pronouce "ou" correctly, is all. (more than oo,   
   less than ow)

   Yup -- kids want the CGI graphics & THX sound -- I prefer subtleties.    
   They're  the same for video games -- I just want to skip the splash screens &   
   get to the game itself, to see if it has any plot or challenges for my mind..   
      
   I no longer even try these DVD games -- if you require that much dayta --   
   it's  not my kind of game, which fit well on a floppy diskette, including user   
   data!

   Well, the slasher, serial killer films are based on reality to a point, with    
   typical Hollywood lampoon-like exaggeration, of course.   
      
   Not my style -- they focus more on the abuse & denuding of teen girls than on    
   trying to scare me. . .
