So here is how the movie went... In 1958, during their summer vacation, Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) meet at a beach and begin to fall in love.

Instead of returning to Australia at summer's end, however, Sandy enrolls at Rydell High School as a foreign-exchange student, where Danny is a student. So is Sandy's new friend Frenchy (Didi Conn), a member of the schoolgirl clique "The Pink Ladies".

Danny is the leader of the boys' gang, "The T-Birds". Kenickie, second-in-command of the T-Birds (and Danny's best friend), encourages Danny to tell them about his holiday experiences, while the Pink Ladies likewise persuade Sandy. This results in "Summer Nights."

Encouraged by a preppy school spirit girl, Sandy joins the Rydell cheerleaders. The Pink Ladies decide to reunite Danny and Sandy, but Danny wants to protect his cool image, and his behavior towards Sandy causes her to storm off in tears.

Frenchy attempts to cheer Sandy up by inviting her to a sleepover at her house with the rest of the gang, but Rizzo soon gets fed up with Sandy's goody-two-shoes behavior.

Rizzo lampoons Sandy, singing the sarcastic "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee". When the T-Birds arrive outside Frenchy's house, Rizzo and Kenickie (Jeff Conaway) flirt then leave.

After the party splits up, Sandy decides that she still loves Danny, in spite of everything, and sings "Hopelessly Devoted to You", a poignant love song that was added for the movie and was a big hit as a single. Rizzo's and Kenickie's passionate back-seat love-making is interrupted when the leader of a rival gang, Leo (Dennis Cleveland Stewart) of The Scorpions, and his girlfriend, Cha Cha DiGregorio (Annette Charles), damage Kenickie's car.

Danny meets Sandy at the Frosty Palace, and tries to apologize for his actions. Sandy comes to see if Danny is all right, and they are seemingly reconciled.

Later, Danny takes Sandy to the school's dance, where the TV show National Bandstand plans to broadcast live from the school. When Kenickie asks Cha Cha to the dance, Rizzo retaliates and asks out the rival gang's leader Leo.

During the dance-off, Rizzo leaves in a huff, seeing Kenickie dancing with Cha Cha, and Danny and Sandy are one of the few still in the dance-off. But soon, Sonny pulls Sandy away from Danny, and Cha Cha starts dancing with Danny.

Sandy realizes that Cha Cha was one of Danny's past girlfriends — and a much better dancer. Sandy leaves the gym upset, and Danny and Cha Cha win the contest. Later, Danny takes Sandy to a drive-in movie, apologizes for leaving her, and gives her his class ring. Back in the car, Danny starts trying to make out with Sandy.

Danny laments losing Sandy again, and reveals the true extent of his feelings for her in the song "Sandy" — he is helpless without her.

Because of a mishap before a race in the Los Angeles River, Danny races Leo in of Kenickie's place while Sandy sits on the hill watching. As the T-Birds and Pink Ladies celebrate with Danny, Sandy asks Frenchy's help in winning Danny's heart.

Sandy and Danny fly off in a car and disappear into the sky.

Ok... that's enough about the movie!  How about Grease Costumes for the Halloween holidays?

Here are some Grease Costume ideas for your consideration...

If you ladies are going out together then you can all be pink ladies. You will need a pair or black Capri pants, sandals, and a baby pink . Look for pictures of your hair and remember the sunglasses.

Grease is the era of the poodle skirt so get out your sneakers, cardigan, poodle skirt and put your hair up in a ponytail.

This costume is what Sandy wore at the beginning of the movie. Poodle skirts are available at any costume store or you can visit a vintage store and find an authentic skirt, then go through your wardrobe for a tight top and cardigan.

There is also an additional Sandy costume, the costume she wears at the very end.

For an authentic costume you will need very tight leather pants. Then find a black off the shoulder t-shirt, black , very red lips and big hair.

To really complete this grease costume you do need blond hair and if you are not a blond then a wig is a good option.

A Frenchy costume would include a bright pink wig, ink ladies jacket and a pink dress or skirt with blouse.

A Rizzo costume is similar except your skirt and shirt should be black with a pink ladies jacket. Then you will need short dark hair or a Rizzo wig.

There are several options available for guys looking for grease costumes. Usually the first choice is Danny's Costume. This costume is comprised of a leather jacket, white t-shirt, boots and black pants or black jeans.

Styling your hair can be tricky as you need long enough hair to give it a curl over your forhead.

Men can also go by the 50s jock costume. This is a more clean cut look and you will need some type of high school letter jacket. Then just use the jeans from your closet and a white tee.

Another popular Grease costume for men is Eugene. This is more of a nerdy costume so look for high waist pants, a pocket protector and heavy rimmed glasses.

If you are looking for a fancier Grease costume then chose something from the dance competition. These are all 50s style dresses that feature nipped in waists and larger skirts like poodle skirts.

You can dress up as Cha-Cha, Sandy, Rizzo, Frenchy and any other character at the dance.

Here on my blog It's is possible to buy a complete Grease costume. You can get all the clothing and hair pieces you might need on this page.

You can also find additional pieces for a costume if you already have some parts for your costume. For instance... you can buy a pink ladies jacket, wig, greasers jacket and more.

There are Grease Costumes available for both adults, teenagers and children.

Grease costumes are also very easy for teenagers to make their own costumes as you may be able to find great pieces by looking through your parents or grandparents closet.

Carol asks…

I am looking for lyrics to a song. My friend thinks it's from Grease the play not movie.?

It's a 50's style/sounding song and starts out with the lyrics stating the chords used in the song "C,C,C,C,C-A,A,A,Aminor, F,F,F,F,F, G,G,G,G,G7" etc..and then goes into something like this "what's that song playing on the radio, got me swaying to and fro..." The chorus contains the phrase "magic changes"
Sorry so little to go on but if any knows please let me know what the name of the song actually is and where I can find the full lyrics if possible.
Thanks!

andre1 answers:

Musical: Grease
Song: Those Magic Changes

What's that playing on the radio,
why do I start swaying to and fro
I have never heard that song before,
but if I don't hear it anymore
It's still familiar to me, sends a thrill right through me
Cause those chords remind me of the night that
I first fell in love to
Those magic changes my heart arranges
A melody that's never ,
a melody that's calling your name
It begs you please, come back to me
Please, return to me, don't go away again,
oh make them play again
The music I wanna hear is once again,
you whisper in my ear
Oh my darling, aha I'll be waiting by the radio,
you'll come back to me someday, I know
Been so long since our last goodbye, but I'm singin' as I cry
While the bass is sounding, while the drums are pounding
Beatings of my broken heart will rise the first place of the charts
Oh my heart arranges, oh those magic changes,
oooh yeah

Maria asks…

Have you noticed that in the song Dancing Machine by the Jackson 5?

they have the lyrics 'automatic, systomatic' like in Grease. I looked it up and the song came out in 1974 and the movie Grease came out in 1978. So thats where they got that line.

POLL: Favourite female singer
im not 100 percent sure they got it from them but it seems like it

andre1 answers:

Well Grease was a kinda pathetic movie so I wouldn't be surprised if they did take it.
Well I love Madonna but I'm currently loving Beyonce too :) Oh and Alanis Morisette, I realise she is in a completely different genre but she is also kick-a :)

Joseph asks…

movie choice suggestions?

ok, i made a deal with my girlfriend that i would watch a love story or something of her choice if she would agree to watch a horror movie. we are each going to compile a list for the other to pick from. the ones i have to pick from are:
The Notebook, Holiday in Handcuffs, Pride and Prejudice, A Walk to Remember, Music and Lyrics, Because I Said So, Titanic, Return to Me, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, The Wedding Planner, My Best Friend's Wedding, Sweet Home Alabama, Grease, Just Like Heaven, Becoming Jane, A Cinderella Story

i know close to nothing about any of these (except that i pretty much refuse to watch The Notebook). so i need a guys opinion. on the least girly one.

and next i need some good horror movies. anything tht would be pg-13 by todays standards. wat are the some of the scariest movies you've ever seen.
some i have so far(i havnt seen most o them):
candyman, pet semetary, carrie, exorcist, poltergeist, children of the corn, the shining, alien, & psycho
thanks
after looking up all the summaries, Just Like Heaven probably seems like my top choice. ive seen grease before, and its not too bad, but id like to see something new. ive also seen titanic. not one of y favorites, but its not as bad as make it out to be.

andre1 answers:

Poltergeist,exorcist,the shining,hills have eyes,room 1408,the omen for scary

all are girlie movies,i'd say music and lyrics if you're not soo young (27+),it's really funny and it's not so romantic it's comedy.
Sorry I'm a girl,but my husband agrees.

Donald asks…

What does this lyric mean?

In the movie grease they have a song called " your the one that i want"
one of the lyrics say " your to shy to convey"
WHAT'S THAT MEAN? (:

andre1 answers:

...you're too shy to convey... Means that you are too embarrassed or timid to express something or demonstrate how you feel.

Steven asks…

Does anyone know how to get hair grease out of clothing?

My 2 year old daughter put a whole jar of anti itch hair grease in her hair and all over a brand new shirt that she wore once, please help

andre1 answers:

Soak it in warm water with LESTOIL. It will smell like kerosene afterward, so you'll have to rinse it and wash it several times in regular detergent later.

Donald asks…

Is she having a growth spurt?

My daughter is going to be 12 weeks old on monday and she has been sleeping alot recently, for example, we went to bed at 4.30am, she sleeps when i sleep, and i woke up at 1.30 pm, she stayed asleep til 2pm, woke up for like 45minutes and then back to sleep, i woke her up to change her clothes and grease her face, she was awake for the 5 minutes i was doing that and as soon as i put her back in her chair, she was asleep. and yesterday she did thing, slept til 2pm and woke up for 2.5hours and went back to sleep til 8, woke up ffor an hour and back to sleep at 9pm. when she is awake, she is normal and happy, feeding her 120ml and breastfeeding her normal, full nappys, is this a growth spurt or what?

andre1 answers:

Same with my baby who is 3 months. Perfectly normal. Sleeping is just as important as feeding. So don't worry at all.

Congrats!

Chris asks…

How do you get baby stains out of clothing and my husband's ?

I don't pre-treat my clothes because it's impossible to find all the stains. My baby just started solids and she's a mess! Prunes leave black stains, carrots leave orange, etc.!!!

So I recently switched to Tide when I was having really bad odor problems after they came out of the wash. That took all the bad odors away.

Now I have the problem of baby food set in stains- on her clothes and on her burp rags and bibs. So how do I get those out? And my husband works doing cable installation and he always manages to get black grease or something on his jeans- and it won't wash out.

What should i be doing? I wash laundry every 2 days so It's not like stains sit and get deeper and deeper for a week.

andre1 answers:

I am a PRO at stains! Friends have even brought me their kids clothes! LOL!!! This is what I do... For Grease stains, buy a bottle of DAWN , when you see a stain rub that on it (my grease stains tend to be French fries! LOL! As for SET IN stains, I use OXY Clean, the powered, this is what works GREAT for me....
Depending on how many clothes you have, I usually let mine pile up cuz it is a pain and I like having many to do vs only 3 shirts.

1/2 cup Oxy- powered
1/4 cup Dawn
some liquid Oxy
Tide, just a small amount.

I mix all these together to make a paste, then I take a tooth brush and work it into the stain. Then I let it sit for about 1 hour or so... Don't let it sit for hours though because it will start to bleach it. After letting it sit for about an hour, I fill up the washer with cold water and put all the clothes in the water and let it sit for about another hour or so in the water (COLD).... Don't overload the wash and use TIDE....

I am addicted to Gymboree, it is all my daughter wears, and out of all my children she is by FAR the messiest! I have saved SO MUCH money... It is a pain but really there is very little I haven't been able to get out!

HAIRSPRAY for markers and pen marks... Some people say aresol works best, I don't use that, I just use what I use which is the aussie sprunch spray and it works great!

I hope this works for you... It is a little costly to invest in the oxy but we got a huge container and it has lasted over 2 years...

Linda asks…

Does tide coldwater work good on oil and coolent?

I get oil,. coolant, grease and metal chips on my clothes at work. I use tide he and Clorox 2 in warm water. It does a good job. I thinking of trying tide coldwater since they make a he version now.

andre1 answers:

I think that presoaking your clothes in Les-toil before washing them will truly remove oil and grease better than anything else.
See, light weight oil is the best thing to break up a heaver weight oil.
So pre wash in Les-toil, then wash in what ever you wish to use after that.
I work with number 6 heating oil, I use number 2 to cut the 6 so I can scrape it off the floors and tools.
So the same goes for lighter weight oils.
I use Les-toil to get the number 2 fuel oil out of my clothes.

William asks…

What to do about a roommate who won't clean?

My roommate and I have been living together for four years and knew each other for a number of years before we got a place together. Neither of us are neat freaks. I'm a bit of a slob and he's a bit of a hoarder. He crams the common storage spaces full of the junk he buys and saves, and I don't pick my clothes up off the bathroom floor, and leave used tea bags on the counter. Never the less, before we moved in together we discussed cleaning. I gave him the choice of being responsible for the kitchen or bathroom, and he chose the kitchen, and told me he'd clean every Monday.

The problem is, he has not kept his end of the bargain. Initially I thought he just didn't understand that the bathroom needs to be wiped down, the stove needs to have the grease scrubbed off of it, baseboards needs to be dusted, appliances wiped off, floors swept and mopped and carpets need to be vacuumed because he previously lived at home and his parents did all of this.

After numerous talks, he'd keep telling me "Well tell me what you want me to do!" Like I'm his boss who's supposed to direct his every move. I decided to make a cleaning list and post it on the refrigerator with slots so whoever cleaned what can indicate the name and date they've cleaned.

Now he insists he doesn't have to write when he cleaned because he just "does it" and doesn't need the recognition. This is total BS. He doesn't do anything (or if he does it's incredibly insufficient) and it's not about me giving him recognition.

So the only thing on that list right now is my name and all the things I cleaned, and and again I find myself having to clean the kitchen, which is his responsibility, because the landlord has to come over to fix a leak in the kitchen sink and my roommate has taken off for the weekend.

andre1 answers:

The kitchen is not something you want to clean every WEEK. It takes up courage to face him and talk to him about it. Give him something to do that will take his time so he doesnt have it to mess up the place, like this one i found http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtBtIIzhtJyIj52.LNOCNoXsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20101226131634AAfJ3S9

Jenny asks…

Telling myself not to upset does not result in action?

My husband and I have completely different backgrounds, especially very different how our moms brought us up. My mother-in-law does not care about being clean or clutter free, whereas my mom washes her hands often and keeps everything neat and clean. My husband and I have a lot of problems getting along, yet none of many of our big issues/problems does bother me more than hygiene habits/manner does. Despite of not being satisfied, I am ok with his never willingly helping me with anything, keeping his bachelor life ever, favoring his family over me, living his fantasy world and disengaging with the reality, and etc. None of those can make me more upset than rubbing his food-greased hands on his pants and clothes, or whatever he can grab the closest to his body, without putting a little effort to reach out the tissue or paper towel within an arm reach distance. After every time he clips his fingernails, I either vacuum or pick each piece up from the floor, or I get prickled by his clipped fingernails. I had seen his throwing a chicken wing down onto the carpet floor for his cat when he lived with his parents. I can go on with pages of the list of his hygiene habits, yet I am sure you get the idea by now.
I have reminded him not once but many times about using a paper towel or tissue to wipe his hands and keeping the crumb on a plate. However, unless I deliver paper towel IN TIME, he has never picked up the habit of using it. Even if I am busy doing something else, I rather trouble myself handing him paper towels any time he needs them rather than watching him rubbing his hands on his clothes, cushion, chair fabric, or even once in a while MY cloth when I sit next to him.
People are different. For some, certain issues bother them but not others. I don’t ever care if he buys me anything or he watches girls with big busts and butts, for instance, which is a big issue for some ladies. For me, I cannot stand my husband’s hygiene habits. I have tried, try, and will try losing myself up to ignore the issue, because I do not want him to get upset whenever I remind him. It was my fault for my first marriage. Thus, I don’t want my current marriage to fall apart, because of MY OWN problem, namely my inability to tolerate my husband’s habits.
A week ago, I felt heartbroken because of what my husband told me. He said that his first girlfriend was satisfied with selling pencils on streets, when he told her that they needed to get rich. He said that she would even be content just living on streets with him, whereas I have been upset about his messing up the furniture and scattering salt and crumb on the floor. I felt myself a big “failure,” although I am much more stable, reliable, knowledgeable, better housekeeping, and etc., than his first two girlfriends. He could have been much happier with either one of them than me, who fusses about his not using paper towels. Although it is likely that women are much more content when they just fall in love and date (I was very content and never fussed about any of his habits when we dated), I did not try to prove his hypothesis possibly being wrong. After all, it is MY PROBLEM who cannot accept who he is with his habits.
He has a habit of watching TV and surfing internet at time in every room. Originally, I said that we only ate in the kitchen and living room, because I don’t want to vacuum or clean crumb all other rooms constantly. He loves eating and watching TV at the same time, so I always bring his plate from the kitchen to the living room for him. Then, I don’t remember how it happened that now I bring his plate to his room (he makes the guest room his own room with a couch, TV set, DVD player, game console, and computer. He spends entire day off in his own room, for he has everything he needs there). This morning, when I brought him his plate to his room, he brought the plate to the living room to watch something else on TV, without bringing the napkin with him. I was doing aerobics, yet I quickly got a paper napkin for him. He always feels good when I serve him with drink, food, and etc., because he always dreams to be a king. He expressed, “wow, the service is so quick, and I got a napkin delivered!” I then physically imitated how he rubbed his hands on his pants and said with years of resentment, “just because I don’t want to see you rub your hands on your pants.” He got so offended. Then, he got up and said, “Now I am leaving this house.” That’s about time he had to get ready to go to work anyway. I felt sorry about taking my years of anger out on him when he did not do anything upsetting me. I said sorry to him, yet he said that he seemed married his parents who lectured him all the time by marrying me.
I did not mean to belittle him like that, yet I understand that all these 3 years of resentment collected about his manner and habits deeply bothers me. I totally understand that his habits over 30 something years are hard

Attend anger management or get counseling!

Random/fun things to do at camp!?

Me and my friend are going to camp this year and we wanna make it really fun and do some random stuff. Like sneak out of the cabin, dress in really weird clothes, have different personalities each day, hide behind bushes and shoot unsuspecting victims with water guns, and things like that. Sort of like that list "101 Things to do at Walmart," except for camp. So we need some ideas! And also, we're not really into the practical joke type thing like greasing door knobs and such.

Michael asks…

Can you relate to this funny?

I can relate to almost all of the special tools listed below. I must have been using them right since I have utilized them the way they are explained below.

. +~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ Men's Tools Explained: (Been there, done that) DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, sh*t!" CIRCULAR SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent to the object you are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. SON OF A BITCH TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling, "Son of a bitch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

andre1 answers:

Ha ha ha yes... Good to know I've been using all this stuff correctly too ;-)

On a serious note, however, in case any inexperienced users are inspired by this question to get out in the garage and get started with some of the tools mentioned, I would just like to pass on this important piece of safety advice I spotted in the instructions for my circular saw: DO NOT HOLD THE WORKPIECE ON YOUR THIGH

Susan asks…

How can I get settled in grease strains out of clothes?

When I was at school this greasy stuff always got on my clothes from the dryer. I figured it out after it already ruined so many of my clothes. Monday is a really important day and I want to wear one of the shirts that got ruined. Can someone please tell me what to do that will get it out and not ruin the shirt even more.

andre1 answers:

You should have taken it to the dry cleaners and specified to "dry clean" it. The solvent would have taken it all out for about 5 bucks, cleaned and pressed.

Donald asks…

What will get black marks left by my dryer off my clothes?

My dryer left black marks all over several of my shirts, I'm guessing the marks are grease or something (the drum was out of alignment), I tried Shout but it did nothing, does anyone know of something that will work to get these marks off my clothes?

andre1 answers:

Sounds like a problem i had. My drum was off as well, and i found that the black marks were left by tiny specks of metal dust, created by the drum rubbing against the dryer itself. Check your drum and outside of dryer for holes and / or check the sides for 'hot spots' after you run it for awhile. At first, i thought the dryer was burning the clothes. But it was this metal dust floating around in there.

But to get the black marks off, try spray and wash. Mr clean magic eraser also does wonders, but with anything, assure it wont ruin the fabric. The eraser works best and good luck

James asks…

How can you get food that are washed in out of clothes?

I know there must be a trick to getting food grease stains out, even after the clothes have been washed and dried. Can someone tell me how to do this, otherwise I have several nice shirts that will become dish rags.

andre1 answers:

I have a trick that works even on the toughest grease stains. Gets them out every time regardless of how many times its been washed.

-Take some glycerin and rub it on the stain (a suppository's what I use).

-Rub it down with some .

Works unbelievably well!!!

Thomas asks…

When I wash my clothes I end up with what looks like grease stains?

I don't know what is causing this. It only appears on my shirts. Nothing else gets the stain, and its not from food, drinks, etc. It goes in fine, but then when it comes out of the dryer, I get these grease stains. What is causing it, and what should I do?

Look at the cleaning products you're using - are you using a front-loader washing powder in a top-loader machine? Perhaps its the fabric softener? Is the filter on the clean?

My assumption is that residue is sticking to your shirts, while avoiding your other clothes due to the material your shirts are made of. Try changing your cleaning products

Stop YouTube videos from automatically playing when I open up a new tab?

When I watch youtube, I open several videos at once in new tabs and quickly pause each one to let them buffer.

Is there a way prevent videos opened in new tabs from automatically playing, yet load at time? A firefox/chrome extension? Greasemonkey script?

How can I bypass the surveys on sharecash?

I can't complete the surveys for some reason. Is there a way you know of that will allow me to bypass the surveys. Perhaps a greasemonkey script or extension? I use Google Chrome

andre1 answers:

The short answer: No, currently (May 2010) there is no way to bypass the Sharecrap surveys.

The long answer:
Any programs/links/scripts you see that claim to allow you to bypass the script are either a.) dead scripts/methods b.) scams to get the user more sharecash points or c.) viruses.

First, there are several Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox that *USED TO* work. They stopped working around December 2009 and there have been no Greasemonkey scripts since that time that have successfully allowed you to bypass the surveys, so installing the old now-inactive ones is useless. There also used to be a trick with the browser Opera which has also been dead for 6 months or so.

Second, if you see a video on Youtube or a post from some guy claiming he has an easy way to bypass the Sharecash surveys using a program and the program download link he provides *is a sharecash link or another survey/scam link* then it is obviously total BS. People claiming to help people get around surveys by making them take more surveys...this should be an extremely obvious scam but apparently people are still stupid enough to fall for it.

Third, I've run into a few download links that will be non-sharecash (megaupload, mediafire, rs etc) and will claim to be a program to allow you to bypass the sharecash surveys, but when you download them or extract them, your anti-virus will go nuts because they will contain a trojan or some other kind of nasty virus.

So no, as of now there is no way to get past them...which sucks immensely since 90% of the time spending 20 minutes filling out their godawful surveys STILL won't get you to the real download. Bottom line: Sharecash is a horrendous spam and scam site and should be avoided at all costs, as should the sketchy programs claiming to bypass the surveys.

Mandy asks…

Google Chrome directory in Linux?

Does anyone know where this directory is, where extensions are stored? I've tried searching, but no luck. I need it to install a greasemonkey script that only works if I manually move it to the extensions directory.

As you already probably know, program installations on Linux don't reside in a single directory. So you probably need to read-up on how the basic Linux directory hierarchy works.

In any case, where Chrome is installed depends, as it depends on your distro and which package you installed it from. But for my distro (Gentoo), Chromium is installed in the default way -- spread out in various folders in the /usr directory:

/usr/bin is where the `chromium' launcher is kept.
/usr/lib/chromium-browser is where all the binaries and data required for use by Chromium is kept -- that can essentially be considered where Chrome is really installed.
/usr/share is where the Application entry, and where the `man' entries are kept for Chrome.

But for some installations of Chrome, it's installed in /opt instead, rather than in the various directories in /usr. And like I said, it depends on which distro and which package you installed it in. But if you look around, you should be able to find it.

Also, since I know you're on a Debian-based system (which uses .deb files), you can find-out where the installed files for Chrome are. Just double-click the ".deb" file you used to install Chrome, and see if you can find a section that'll tell you all of the installed files. I'm not on Ubunutu or Debian right now, but I know it's there.

Now, as for where your user-specific data is kept, they reside in two locations:

/home/user/.config/chromium is where your user data is kept, just like on Windows.
/home/user/.cache/chromium is where Chrome's cache files are kept.
