...Yet Italy is a place jam packed with great enthusiasm for getting up in the morning with a huge smile on your face. Thank God for Italians!

Oh heyell, them Frenchies can dredge up some joie de vivre on occasion. AFAIK, Italians beat the world in simple pleasure in being alive. Now that Bellesconi is out of office, it's easier to smile. So when will Blair and -ush be hidious history?

Other than the fact that they load games slowly and one (I think) other weirdness, the latest CPU's from Intel are indeed swell. Good enough to draw me into the Intel camp, again? I'd feel more virtuous running an AMD mosheen. Time will tell. During this period it's a wonderful idea to grab yourself your free AOA case badge. Dither not, PM me or dod right now!

Yo, uuuhn. Um. Cat's got my typing fingers, get off my lap. There, whew. Nothing like a 104F house cat nestling on your lap when it's too hot. Where wasn't I...oh, now I remember. Forgot, dang! Excuse me, I must go into another room so that I can remember, brb. Nope, it didn't work. WTF? Sorry folks, my brain isn't working yet this morning. I hope that finishing the AM dose of caffeine improves things.

So... Order your free AOA Forums case badge ahora mismo!

Tarry not upon the inconsequential good Sirs and Madames! Send a Private Message to me or dod, an essential part of the well dressed PC case will be your's in a thrice.

Let me share a little personal history with our Good Members. It came to pass.. No, this kind of history is too tricky to pull off with elan. It's Saturday, take a deep breath and relax. That's better. Hokay Joe, where don't you want to go today? If you don't wish to ponder the absence of an AOA case badge on Your Fair Computer, I sure can't make you. It's Saturday, don't worry, be happy!

I bought the complete seven season DVD collection of Star Trek, Deep Space 9. Amazon wanted $700+ for it. A friend hunted it up at Ebay for half of that. I don't like Pay Pal so I sent a personal check. I've never splurged on anything like this before, but the acquisition doesn't make me feel too guilty--it's a very nice thing to have. I'm in the middle of the third season, that's when the cast members really clicked and the show became fantastically good. Summer tv is lame, especially when you only get three channels. Thank goodness I get a PBS station!

Why don't I have cable? Because a tiny outfit has the monopoly in my area and they're the dogs from hell. I signed with them for cable access to the Web and was told that my first bill would be $42. Thank gawd it didn't work and that they came and collected their cable modem two days before I got their first bill. For $250. There was no way under heaven that I was able to pay that bill, I'm very glad that their hookup didn't work!

What has all this got to do with all of Our Fair Members having their own free AOA Forums case badge? Watching your monitor is usually far better than watching a screen that you have no control over other than yea or nay. Our case badges do little good in a big envelope in my closet. Order your's today!

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing in our world. In the world of defense contractors it's the in thing, they can't get enough of it. Our good friends in Washington DC have nearly sold the concept of permanent war for permanent peace. Peace of mind of the very well off with their fingers in the war machine pie. Do you own stock in a defense industry? If so, shame on you. It's just business my arse. Wait a minute, I might be guilty of this. Ack! Time to read the cute pamphlets that my mutual fund sends me. My three shares are worth less than a hundred bucks but what's good for the goose is good for the g. Or sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. I might have to liquidate my position in the market if I own a chunkette of Boeing or kin. And send the money to a children's charity if I feel guilty enough. It's always something.

No one has been killed or injured in the manufacture of our glorious free case badges, order your very own with a clean conscience!

However, our Sainted Staff Member mookydooky risked life and limb to get our AOA case badges. He braved SARS infected southern China to bring home a pile of AOA Forums case badges. A death defying feat unmatched by the rest of us. That's the bare truth. Your badge costs you nothing but three minutes of your time, two envelopes and some postage stamps.

I miss Godzilla's dulcet voice caressing the ears of Tokyo. Has a sweeter love song ever been heard? Godzilla will be in your neighborhood this weekend if you don't send me or dod a Private Message asking how to get your AOA case badge TODAY. You have been warned.

You say Godzilla skipped Your Fair City? You're lucky, he did a number on Belleview Wa. It was terrible to see, all those poor people, sob! They weren't guilty of anything, just one Member over there was too lazy to order her AOA case badge. Oh, the humanity!
Please, don't let this happen to you!

Ever notice that bric a brac and objet d'art featured on the British Antique Roadshow televised entertainment are usually worth much more than on the American PBS pruduction with the same name? Makes us Yanks look like dead poor relations, it does. Some Brits might say "it's about bleedin' time!"

I don't know if AOA case badges will fetch more in the future in the Old Country or not. Why not find out? Order your FREE AOA case badge today! PM dod in Scotland or cloasters in America.

To the best of my knowledge, mookydooky did business only with manufacturers that earned the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.
