stymied; browser crash

[fflo]

I guess the computer gods didn't want me doing another old movie post again tonight---I was a good way's* into it when I was hit by Mozilla freeze-up and sudden closure. Maybe I'll tell you about it tomorrow, though. In the meantime...

Just like Eric Clapton says:

Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road, baby, just you wait and see.

You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
Just like you mistreat someone, someone's gonna mistreat you.

You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you're gonna be crying.
You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you're gonna be crying.
Further on up the road you'll find out I wasn't lying.

Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.

Actually, I can't decide how I'd say it...I'm a dictionary/wikipedia kind of guy for reference like that...

didn't find anything in either, but there is a book "Up the Road a Ways"...first link if you google it. I think colloquilalisms are fun to debate how one might represent them in text form.

and did I mention that I get firefox to crash about twice a day these days at work? Of course, I've got 5 windows open, switching between them all constantly, and browsing/clicking in three of them at any one time. I'm very non-plused by firefox...unfortunately, it's the best available option for Solaris.

What I would actually say is "a way down the road."

However, if I did add an s for some reason, I would spell it "ways."

I would say "a way's down the road" if I was determined to use the phrase, although since this is me we're talking about, I would be more likely to cop out and say "down the road some distance." The road is a way, and the distance down that road is that way's distance. Therefore I would say "a way's" down the road. Yeah. La la la.

I'd say, go past the White Castle, and you'll see it in about a quarter mile on the right.
