Let's say that your mother had to spend some time in the hospital, so she entrusted her cat to you. If the cat insisted on running away while in your care, even though you got along well with her cat and cats in general, what would you do? Glad that this isn't your problem? I am! Having an AOA Forums case badge affixed proudly to my computer spared me this aweful fate. That my stepmother chose my stepbrother over me to care for Bootsy is only incidental.

PM dod in Scotland or your's truly in the former USA to get your magic totem, err, case badge that is.

Unless AMD announces what comes after the very short run of AMD2 procs soon, it looks like Intel will own the market, one more time. I was set to buy a nice S939 processor and the trimmings to go with it, but AMD done annoyed me with their announcement of "buy NOW--or never." Sorry, that's just not nice.
We hear "Conroe this, Conroe that." It looks to be one very impressive line of CPU's. If these hit the street soon, great woe will fall upon the house of AMD.
Avoid woe under your own roof, order your free AOA Forums case badge now!

Seventy five miles? Good God, seems kinda wacky to me. Straight ahead with her bad self, all the same! Ancient slang, please forgive as necessary.

Yeah, she's happy, they've done a lot of preparation and training to get to the stage where they can do it so it shouldn't be a problem. Her best friend and training partner also made the team so plenty of big grins for the last couple of days.

The secret as I'm sure Cloasters was just about to point out is that the saddle is lined with AOA case badges You see folks, imagine what just ONE could do for you

It's hard to believe that Jazz and Country can be melded together. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones accomplish this at first thought impossible feat. Second and third thought, too!
Sometimes musicians who are a light year better than you are elicit anger and envy. I like to think that I'm above this foolishness now that I'm older and wiser. I am, pretty much. I play electric bass, the cliche that you've never heard bass played until you hear "X" do it is true in the case of Victor Wooten.

Oh my God. Hear for yourself in snippets at amazon.com .

I dare not compare the jaw dropping eye popping virtuosity of Victor Wooten of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones to our humble case badges. Order your's all the same!

It's said that after a voyage across the Pacific, the nose detects Los Angeles while still one hundred miles out to sea. It smells like rotting concrete. Los Angelenos, prove this wrong, don't let your city be disrespected like this! I tried, really I did, but had to move to Northern California. Wait a minute, San Francisco is in the middle of the coast, why is it in "Northern" California? Then San Francisco smelled unhealthy, so I moved farther north to Seattle. Which had three smoggy days in the year. Smog is much more popular here 25 years later. Sigh.

One of our AOA Forums case badges will protect you from smog. Order your's today!

It's true. When travelling by car you can actually smell a city before you get to it! Though some of the worst offenders are small cattle towns.

It's said that the super sized feed lots raise a stink from 20 miles distance. Yummy. Gack.

I drove past a cow "factory" in Texas on a trip to the southwest. The stench was there for at least half an hour from.

And here's something really fun - about 5 miles from my house there's a pig facility with 8000 pigs on about 4 acres. On some days the stench is miserable

Vive La France! They done won the World Cup, bully for them. I don't know why world style football is so unpopular in the States. Maybe it confuses us? Doesn't have the set piece battles of our kind of football? I just don't know, tbh.
But I do know that our AOA Forums case badges are popular everywhere. Get on the good foot, order your free AOA case badge now. They're free to all Members, simply PM me in the Western Hemisphere or dod in the other one!

Quelle embarrassmente! Viva Italia! Are France and Italy that close together in my mental geography? Well, they share a border...
