But if you can get the air out you can get rid of the majority of the bubbles (though you'll still never get rid of all the creases).

Fascinating that if you look at that little chart of related stories you can find one involving the MPAA hiring a hacker to obtain information on Torrentspy and its bosses.

Wow, it's funny because that's almost exactly the time I started using Torrent Spy. I don't think music industry types would be too pleased with what I was doing on there.

Isn't Torrentspy kind of shit though? I recall a distinct lack of any seeders at all.

File-sharing is like bubbles under a sheet of wallpaper.

Even if I tell you specifically where all the bubbles are, it won't stop them from emerging elsewhere when you push them down.

Tommy, I've been meaning to ask. Do sit around and just come up with new similes to use on the internet all day? You have come up with some of the best similes ever.

No matches have been played since February 2007, however, when an elephant, protesting a bad call by the referee, went on a rampage during a game, injuring two players and destroying the Spanish team's minibus

What I am more concerned about is Tommy's clear lack of ability to wallpaper correctly.

It's actually a pretty reliable site for good content. It's this kind of thing though that makes me think taking the extra time to use Soulsearch isn't such a bad idea.
