    I'm so happy someone else has seen that show. I loved the original series from Japan. Two episodes I would like to have seen:

    1. The secret ingredient is..... GODZILLA !! A giant reptilian foot crashes through the ceiling of Kitchen Stadium and the chefs attack it with cleavers, hacking off chunks before the creature can move away.

    2. The challenger is Dr. Hannibal Lecter... and the secret ingredient is.... Chairman KAGA!!

    Excellent ideas, especially the second!

    The American version is just disappointing compared to the original. My favorite was the dude with the four-foot knife. No compensation going on there.

    You know, I can think of some one else that, IMHO, ranks right there with our favorite White House window washer, and here is his latest post.

    The desert isn't big enough at times.

    And he's worried about being "unique" on this site? Personally, if I were he, I'd want to remain as anonymous as possible! 😉

    Posting many questions but not learning very much from any of them.

    Hi Luke

    Seems to be not only the QOTD. Just viewed the profile and "Show all posts by this member..."

    I confirm the second adoption. Many points only means many posts, not many knowledge about SQL Server 😉

    [font="Verdana"]This morning I had an idea. After I had had a bit of a sit down to recover from that novel feeling, and to reassure myself that I'd soon return to my normal state of empty headedness, I decided to ask a question here.

    That question is in regard to articles. I've read a lot of (excellent, not so excellent, occasionally funny) articles on this site, and they tend to be aimed at the technical stuff.

    Is there a good range of design or data architecture articles? If so, can someone point me to them? Failing that, would they be a good topic for me to write? I'm not feeling up to the technical challenge of competing with some of the gurus here (Paul White's doing a fantastic job of representing the country!) But I do have a fair amount of experience in the design/architecture area.

    Good idea, or bad?

    [/font]

    Good idea. Even if there are already good articles, you can just reference those. Almost always good to get a new viewpoint on a subject.

    Which is why you can't judge the value of the help you get just by the number of posts the individual has made. You have to judge it by the quality of the responses themselves.

  • My rating should be "Threadhead" instead of Ten Centuries, but I'm making it a point to spend more time answering questions than "chatting" here in The Thread. 😉

    Bugger! I lose in both counts :laugh:

    This was brought up before. Brad M. McGehee had posted something right around that time and I noticed that he has a very low number of point.

    If you judge posters by their points then you should ignore anything Brad says. I think this an excellent example for NOT judging people by their number of points.
