Who the Hal are you, then?Don't do that Dave. Dave. Don't do that. (less than a year away, eh?) More recently, I'm just another aspect of The Matrix, Max.

Was told by a colleague once that I reminded her of the cool Laurence Fishburne character in the matrix - Morph[eus]. But then, it was close to her review, and she wanted a raise...

Morph[eus]Flattery indeed! - sort of half-plasticine, half king of cool? (Morph is known over here as an animated plasticine character - a weak forerunner to Wallace and Gromit) (Waddya mean, who's Wallace and Gromit?!)Personally I'm just like Keanu Reeves. In much the same way as Peewee Herman isn't. By the way, thanks for the consciousness refs, shanks. Keep me busy for a while... (you wish!)

So, closer to PeeWee are you? Wouldn`t want to be going to the movies with you then.
(she says while hoping the non-U.S. residents understand the reference)

As I understood it, If one went to the movies with PeeWee, one could be fairly certain that he would leave one completely alone, being otherwise occupied. Sitting right next to him might be rather distasteful, however.

Well, basically, I think basically is a meaningless word. Maybe it had once some basic meaning, but these days it is used basically as a tedious filler word, especially by anyone being interviewed on TV -- go ahead, count em. It's driving me nuts -- basically.
