(...) Probably more time than you imagine. Pulling off a 'spontaneous' event like that can take days of planning. (...) Not quite true. Matt made a comment that a ten year anniversary is tin, and thus the reason for the tin foil sculpture. Someone (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Hmm... maybe you are right. I didn't see it that way. Anyway, the harsh-ness of my post wasn't toward Eric, but towards Conan, so I hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings here. Whatever is the reason why he didn't appreciate the gifts, I think (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I'd have to agree. The whole thing played out rather stiff, with the Today show folks trying to create a wacky, outrageous situation (aping Conan's style?) and failing pretty miserably. Then again, live TV comedy is pretty tough. Anyhow, the (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) As half-a-million legally owned guns are stolen in the USA each year, I'd suggest gun crime is somewhat dependent on lack of gun control legislation. ;) Ownership is one thing; ownership without responsibility is a different kettle of fish.

(...) That's not quite right. Logically, data cannot be used selectively to demonstrate the efficacy of gun control laws. However, it does not logically follow, therefore, that no correlation exists between gun control and gun crime. I happen to (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
