   I've just signed up with Usenet-News.net.  10GB for $5, with no time limit   
   to use it.  Seriously.  I'll be an old man (well, a much older man) before I   
   use 10GB on text-based news groups.   
      
   Have you seen the new ep?  I haven't seen Rocky Balboa but I figured that   
   some of "More Crap" must have been a parody of it.  Would that be correct?
