Due to the grounding of the shuttle fleet, budgetary constraints here at NASA, and the lack of any sober cosmonauts capable of docking a Soyuz capsule, NASA is today implementing a new Individual Crew Return Vehicle (ICRV) for all ISS astronauts. When your tenure aboard the ISS is up, please board your new ICRVs and prepare for de-orbit. The new return procedure may take up three months to de-orbit all passengers, so we suggest bringing along some light reading and a snack to help you bide the time. Thank you, and we wish you all a safe and happy return to the gravity well!
Prior to being dubbed MACHO, the working title of this project was Compact Objects Juxtaposed Over Neglible Echo Systems, or COJONES. It was felt that this unfortunate acronym would be offensive to some, so the name was changed to Partially Uncovered Transient Anomalies Masked Against Dense Retrograde Echoes, or PUTA MADRE. Tragically, this acronym also caused anger in many circles, and thus was born MACHO.
OK, try this analogy on for size:
I run a bar and decide to get some live music, so I hire this girl band. It turns out these girls are all just smoking hot and, during their set, they begin removing what little clothing they have on and rubbing each other with oil and whipped cream. Before long I'm onstage with them and . . . Wait, where was I going with this?
Carefully research any charitable organization to which you donate. Charity scams proliferate during the holiday season. Remember a fool and his money are . . . hey, where's my wallet!
I've heard some vicious rumors that none of these next-gen consoles are going to offer support for my extensive collection of Atari 2600 games. What are they thinking? I'm sorry Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo - no Combat or Air-Sea Battle, no purchase. You've lost a potential customer.
I live in the Denver Metro area and have had Qwest DSL with a/29 static block for about a year now and have to admit that their service is pretty good but Lord help you if you ever have a technical problem. Just getting through to their tech support on the phone is a 1/2 to 1 hour ordeal and then keep your fingers crossed that you actually end up on the line with someone who has even the slightest chance of helping you. I'll admit they have a few support techs that really know their stuff but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get ahold of them when I need them.

. . . but with MS Office 2K3 installed the price rises to $450.

I solved this puzzle when I was a kid back in 352 A.D.
Also try new Maximum Strength Placebo.
And a perpendicular one as well.
Is there a BugMeNot login for that?
