/me listens as the distant roll of a bloody great thunderstorm starts moving inexorably closer and the sky darkens to Judgement Day hue.
That'll be me offline with modem/phone/TV aerial unplugged for the next few hours then. See you on the other side. _____________________

I hate those mail in rebate schemes. They usually are over complicated with sending in receipts, UPC codes, box tops, the deed to your house, and they expire in like 12 minutes after you leave the store........Christ. Just give me the fargin thing and be done with it. But making it complicated is all part of thheir insidious plan. They know a certain percentage of people will either send the wrong stuff or just won't bother at all. I usually avoid them. I agree. Our local Office Depot is always selling things with rebates and wanting me to get the OD membership card, extended warranties etc and so on ad-nauseum. One day the manager was running the register, playing he role to the hilt, offering extended warranty (no), offering rebates (NO), and offering a membership card (HELL NO). I told him you know there is one thing I would really like to get from his store. I want service. I want a clerk to show me where the item I am buying it located. I want the clerk to walk to the items and point at them and answer my questions. I want to get in line at the register, pay for my item and go home. Without getting fourteen sales pitches. If an item is discounted then discount it. Don't sell it to me at full price promising a rebate check that will never come. "CX" (agrees with Brenda 110%) _____________________

You are definitely slutty in the best possible definitions of the word. Dirty, hot, and a little scary, but in a good way. I'd like do awful things to you, but I'm pretty sure you'd snap me in two like a twig and leave me cross-eyed, dizzy and confused. I'm giving you a 9.8, tied for the top rating ever given. Almost off-the charts slutty. Shame on you and congratulations. -- Trout

I would offer my first born child, but I don' think they would really take him - it costs to much to feed him. I tried offering a "buy one get one free" (Son 13, daughter 10) but I couldn't get any takers. Pep (I did get a car for my wife - the best swap I ever did) _____________________
