Okay, okay...
Please be advised this is not particularly straightforward.
Open Notepad.
Type:
C:\windows\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 2
If the C: drive is not your local drive, replace "C" with the correct letter of the hard drive.
Save the file on the C: drive as reboot.bat. Right click on the file
in Windows Explorer and go to Properties. Click on the Program tab
and make sure the box marked "Close on exit" is checked.
Go to Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Scheduled Tasks.
Add a scheduled task. Browse to reboot.bat. Set it up to run whenever you want it to.
This should cause your machine to run that program at that time and
thus, reboot your machine.

Trust me, when I get truly vulgar, it's NOT a pleasant experience. However, I could certainly TRY to be sultry-vulgar, if that pleases the male Nuns.

Maybe I was just in a bad place in my life when I saw "Princess Bride"; but at the time, I just didn't find it as funny as everyone else seemed to.
Perhaps I should rent it and watch it again and see if I still feel the same way about it. Over the years, I've had other people gawk and stare at me for not liking it, so maybe I need to give it another chance.

There tends to be a definite over-hype around that movie. People talk it up and quote it and go to great lengths to talk about how great it is. And it's a good, fun, warm, happy, nifty, swell movie, and it's fun to quote. But that talking it up absolutely ruins it for whoever is unlucky enough to see it for the first time with someone who knows it by heart and is expecting their pal to laugh at the funny parts.
For 'The Princess Bride' is not only warm and happy and nifty, it's also fragile and human, which is why it endears.

Well Bob, since he lives in a house with three women, and is in love with Lucy Liu, I'd probably have to say "no".
Homer, thanks for the warning. I'm deleting all of the comments I've heard BEFORE I watch it.

Whenever I think of Homer, the first word that always comes to mind is:
"Sweet"
I know that sounds candy-assed and sissified, but I've known Homer for a long time and he has always given me the impression that he has a very sweet soul.

I appreciate being considered sweet and mayonnaise-like. I also appreciate being considered both straight and queer. Thank you all.
I've been thinking about Lucy Liu. If I were to ever become a drag queen, I'd do a Lucy Liu and marry your brother so I'd be your Lucy In-Lieu. Maybe that's my halloween costume. Hmm.

Lucy Liu hosted Saturday Night Live. (Did you catch it, Homer? I thought of you...) ;-)
I wasn't too impressed, actually. However, she participated in a couple of pretty funny skits. I dunno. Jury is still out on her.
