Don't get me started about all of the PC bull we have to put up with. If people would start worrying more about all the atrocities in the world, famine, wars, poverty, etc. instead of what words they find offensive, things would be a lot better on this planet. I'm getting a little sick of having to be politically correct. This is a perfect example of someone being so wrapped up in the WORD, that they forgot to consider its CONTEXT.

In basic training I had two room mates one was named David Gay; man did he get poo, mostly behind his back. I liked the guy so I stood up for him.

The last one 4.1 you have a hell of a lot of control over things although it works in nodes so it is a different way of working than say After Effects or Commotion, they work a lot like Photoshop. I like Shake for making masks among other things.

Do people find that Mr. Peanut is disturbing somehow? The character just creeps me out. (And, no, I'm not making any insinuations or criticisms of his "lifestyle orientation.")

There's just something plain "not right" about him. If he lived next store to me, I'd be afraid. Very afraid. :shock:

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, RA; I've been off the board.

Yes, as another Aussie pointed out, it means "the business", which in this context meant that he drank his urine following the prescribed delay after ingestion (I think it was 20 mins or an hour).
