Sounds a great deal like Roger Meyers Sr.'s movie, "Scratchtasia". I can just see billions of axe-wielding, mouse-shaped nanobots hacking away at each individual cell in our bodies, causing rapid decay into dust.
Ministers make baby Jesus cry when they violate intellectual property laws. Did he have permission from the book publisher to read the book before an audience?
Let's shorten that, shall we? Fair Use makes baby Jesus cry.
Is there really anyplace the provides good customer service anymore?
American Power Conversion (APC) does. Advanced Digital Information Corporation (ADIC) does too. When we've had a UPS go belly up, APC's support has been very good. When our AIT drive died, ADIC had a replacement out to us in 3 business days. I was quite happy with both companies.
"Welcome to United Filght 101. Just to reassure you on our commitment to your security, all flight attendants have been replaced by the starting offensive line of the Green Bay Packers. If a person does get out of line, rest assured that THEY WILL HANDLE IT.
Second off, we in the cockpit are in full communication with our attendants at all times. If a terrorist does stand up, they'll let us know up here, and we'll put this baby into a nose-dive, pinning the him to the back of the cabin, then let our flight attendants "deal" with him.
Third, our snack today is bacon and beer. If the person sitting next to you does not eat all his bacon, and drink all his beer, he is a terrorist. Please let our flight attendants know about him.
My first instinct upon getting a present that didn't quite fit...was that I could still find a use for it
You would keep a sweater or pair of pants that doesn't fit? To speak from my own experience, my wife received a pair of pants this year from my parents that were too small. She liked the pants, but felt it was better to exchange them for a pair that fit rather than walk around with a severe wedgie.
...wasn't exactly to my tastes...
I can definitely agree with that. I know I put a lot of thought into gifts I buy, and I feel bad if I exchange a gift, even if it is sized wrong, or not usable by me. Another real-life example: Last year my folks got my wife and I an 8mm video camera. I returned it, and spent some of my own money to upgrade it to a more feature-full model. Why? I need the feature that Sony calls "Steady-Shot", otherwise everything I film is very jittery. I certainly did feel lowdown for doing it, but I felt that it was a waste of my parent's money to use a video camera that will produce crap because I can't hold the sucker still enough.
But, I certainly would not exchange a gift just because it isn't exactly what I wanted.

along with his dead cat, fish, and web server.
Make sure you package your dead cat and fish in lead, so that they won't be harmed by the Fed's radiation treatment.
...America had Herbert Hoover for their financially inept leader...
Better than J. Edgar Hoover. At least Herbert wore men's clothes, AFAIK.
The spiders were "grid-bugs", from the beam-ship scene.
Anyways, a different dimension would at least give them a new place to search for a president...
Ahhh. Hopefully, it'll be a pretzel-proof dimension.

We will eventually make robots to hunt down pathogens...
Too bad Dubya didn't have any pretzel-fighting nanobots yesterday. Would have saved him a trip to the floor.
I want the iWank. The case is shaped like the Playmate of the Year.
Mmmmm. Plug that mouse IN baby!

Water-spots on the paint, salt corrosion in icy weather. She needs to know when to pull it into the garage, doesn't she?

Nah, it's like Tarzan. You know, the ape-man coming to live amongst the gentry.
In Redmond where the shadows lie.
Dial "0" to call collect. DON'T save him a buck or two.
At least it is less of a farce than "The First Annual Montgomery Burns' Award For Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Excellence".

Veritas, on the other hand...
hope limewire doesn't sell this info to my girlfriend...
Why not? Maybe she'll take it as a hint, and get you that special collector's edition gift.
You've always been able to exclude story authors
Unless, of course, the author(s) you exclude piggy-back onto other author's posts, like Katz tends to do with his movie reviews.
Weren't the Ewoks understandable somewhere in Africa or Asia, too?
Pilot's opening speech (heard on Bob & Tom):
"Welcome to United Filght 101. Just to reassure you on our commitment to your security, all flight attendants have been replaced by the starting offensive line of the Green Bay Packers. If a person does get out of line, rest assured that THEY WILL HANDLE IT.

Thank you, and enjoy your flight!
(Best as I remember.)
Are you ready for...Mini-Austin!
No, just "Luke"
You'll find I'm full of surprises
Noooo!!!
Z-Z-Z-Z-ZAP!!! "Ouch!"
long hours of sitting at night, playing Warcraft III endlessly.
Oh, if only they had delivered the beta on Monday. Then we would have had something to do on New Year's Eve.
