You snooze, you loose!

06-22-09, 06:01 PM

Awhile back I changed my e-mail address.
I just went in and updated things at YouTube
and found this from back in March!

"Hey I'd like to get your permission to use one of your animations for a local news story on the USS Cyclops. My station wont pay anything, but I'd like to give you a courtesy. Is that cool? It would just be a historian talking about the USS Cyclops and your video underneath.
let me know if that would be cool and what the courtesy should be?
Thanks

The video I did on YouTube is the AC-4 in GWX.

Unlucky buddy.

The BBC television series Life on Mars were going to use my dad's version of "Live and Let Die" as they said it was so close to the original (my dad has a Paul McCartney tribute band). Then a few weeks later they got the rights from McCartney himself to use the original.

Ah well, these things are never meant to be.

Looks like it's not just aircraft and ships that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle....but the odd video as well

Lose. You snooze, you lose

For all that is holy, the word is lose.

Lose: To be unsuccessful in retaining possession of; mislay: He's always losing his car keys.

Loose:Not fastened, restrained, or contained: loose bricks

Don't mean to pick on you but I am seeing this more and more these days.

Privateer, any link to your Youtube channel? Just did a search for "USS Cyclops", but I'm not sure if I'm seeing your vid, or the work of generic, faceless automatons.

It would have been last year at some point, but I was walking down the stairwell of my apartment building and I noticed some graffiti on the wall. Person A was calling People (in all their plural glory) B "loosers"; Person C had come along at some point and corrected their spelling with a big 'X' and an arrow.

The first time I had seen spell-check on graffiti

It's a losing battle (pun not even noticed until I finished this). I've tried so hard to correct spelling, grammar and punctuation, but mostly all you'll get for your efforts is a hail of rotten fruit.

No offence intended guys, but how do we know if one of our fellow members suffers from some sort of learning disability such as dyslexia? It's always been dodgy ground IMO.

However, I know your intentions are good, and for that it's good to know someone's willing to help improve grammar

Good point and no offence taken but some of us know the topic poster and I can assure you it's his fingers that are dyslexic, not his brain :rotfl:

No offense take on the spelling class.
My fingers can't spell, that's all.
