  5. Prostitute Schedule for January 12 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Folks, check out the updated prostitute schedule for January 12 at the Mitchell Brother's O'Farrell Theater (MBOT) in San Francisco. The MBOT is the most convenient way for you to buy a blow job, hand job, and full service (i.e. vaginal sexual intercourse).

    I kid you not.

    Spread the word.

    Face reality, dude. It _is_ a MacBook Pro, it _is_ a shitty name, and The Jobs came up with it.

    This can't be happening. It's a dream. That's it! It's a bad dream! I'll wake up in the morning and the real happy happy Apple news will be waiting for me...

    New Powerbook, temporarily refered to by Apple as the "new Intel Powerbook" and in celebration of the first Intel Mac, this new Powerbook will be once again made of Ti. That is what is going to happen when I wake up. And then around 2007, it will just be the Powerbook again. Hopefully still Ti though.

    No no NO! I don't want the drugs! No! Not the jacket! ARRRGGHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!.... [sobbing, quietly] I can't type on my POWERbook with the straight jacket on. [sniffle sniffle]

    Ahhhh!!!
