    One day, in the not so far future, I think the ECA will be given this prestigious prize... and everyone will say, "I knew they were gonna get that darned prize all along... if only I had done more to support them in the beginning"...

    Or atleast... that's what people who don't know how to support the ECA would say, but luckily you can support the ECA just by spreading word of the Eggplant in all it's forms and variations.... but how do you do that? easy... click Eggplants!.

    Eggplants!

    Flamebait? I'm not saying Windows is the best OS, or that Microsoft's business practices are totally legal, but think of a world with many OSes for the home user. Sure, there are the *nix OSes, but imagine more. Imagine if there were say, 10 different OS classes besides Mac and *nix. The Internet would be a much different place..maybe not in a good way. Even though Windows is forced down our throats, it gives us a familiar base on which to plan/develop.

    And it was Lesbian Night. This is one of life's highest highlights. Who the fuck even knew the Tavern had a Lesbian Night? And not lipstick lesbians or the pretty kind, or the phony kind from porno movies. These ladies are as real as dirt, Chevy trucks and pot roast. They're the burly, butch, hairy lesbians in jeans and flannels that challenge you to arm-wrestling, knock over shuffleboard tables, know how to kill gophers and play softball like their lives depend on it. They're the hottest kind of lesbians, the kind that scare the shit out of me, the kind who will put me in my place. These lovely ladies are the
    Arvada Tavern softball team, a well-oiled machine, and judging from the screeching and the volume of Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls on the juke box, they just got back from enacting the Mercy Rule on some other bar's scrawny lesbians. The Harelip wasn't there, neither were Lloyd or Marty. It was just me, Stinky and 2,500 pounds of sweet lady meat.
