    Yep. Taco is getting married. Kathleen found out that he was personally performing "Quality Assurance Testing" on each Sandra sold, and pressured ThinkGeek to stop selling that sort of merchandise.

    I remember one time, my Dad caught me behind the barn doing something I shouldn't. He told me, "Son, if you keep doing that, you're gonna go blind."
    So I said, "Dad, I'm over here!"

    It was not destroyed or absorbed, but rather stored -- ready to emerge intact at the scientists' bidding.

  16. In other news... on Microsoft To Start Running Anti-Unix Ads · · Score: 2, Funny

    Both the Republican and Domocrat parties have announced their intention to run "anti-other-guy" ads during the upcoming election campaign process.

    A spokesman for the Republican Party had this to say: "Microsoft is a well-known innovator, and the Republicans are going to follow their innowations and give them all the visible support we can. We're not sure how these "mud-slinging" ads will work, but hey, if Microsoft does it, it must be OK, right?"

    Diane Feinstein issued this statement: "Fuck you! Fuck America! I piss on the Bill of Rights! What...Anti-Opponent Ads? Oh, yeah, well, we just want to point out how the Republicans are not as sensitive as we are to modern day issues. If you'd like more information, send your check to..."

    • Sundays attitude will be decided via a random number generator. Numbers 1-3 will mean we hate them, numbers 4-6 will mean we like them and numbers 7-9 mean we're flexible: if they put out a good movie, like The Matrix, we like them. If they put out a bad movie, like anything with Leonardo DiCraplio, we hate them.
