   The Kickin' It episode was complete idiotic garbage ... just like all   
   Disney's "teen" shows.   
      
   Toyworld stores also had a 20% off Star Wars sale on Monday as well.   
      
      
   For people anywhere in the world, the ThinkGeek.com webstore currently   
   has 20% off all Star Wars items (until midnight "May the 4th", US time)   
   and a free pin with all Star Wars order US$20+.

   I thought you were American-endians aka red endians living in teepees /   
   wigwams and saying "How".  ;-)

   New Zealand does things the proper English way - dates written   
   correctly, words spelt correctly, words with correct definitions, etc.

   Having dates that way will sort in the correct date order, although you   
   shouldn't use "/" characters in filenames since they are special   
   characters on some operating systems. It's better to use a "-"   
   character instead.
