  1. Schwag? What about Nugs? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny
    Be sure to appreciate your sysadmin with some sweet schwag...
    Uh, I am thinking you do not know what that word means. If I gave my sys admin some low grade cannabis, I'd probably be fired.

    You see, my sys admin would probably only accept some high quality nugs.

    By the way, you forgot to mention that ThinkGeek, Inc. is an OSTG Company and so is Slashdot. Nice self-Slashvertisement there.

      Show your sysadmin your appreciation by NOT slumming through the sleaziest shitholes on the 'net using his resources.

      Well, so much for browsing slashdot today.

    It seems to me July 24th ("24/7" as it's written in Europe) would have been more appropriate.
