I think they put mothballs in the gas tank of a car in Mythbusters and it was perfectly fine...

Those danged Mythbusters just take all the fun out of so many pet "truths." Or should I say "truthiness?" It's the latest inside the Beltway because it means lies, lies, lies. I'm not lying when I say that our case badges are muy bueno!

Anyone seen the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Patience? Had a part in that one, yes I did. But Seattle's Gilbert and Sullivan Society did it a good deal better than we did! Stop dithering, send dod a Private Message if you live in the UK. PM me if you live in the Ewe Ess Ay.

How about those Mariners? Depressing season, no? Aa, it's just baseball-but I like it. Maybe the team's owners will buy some better players over the winter? Yeah, right. Sigh. Case badges, get yer case badges here!

Baseball is nearly over for the year. There's football, American style of course. What if you don't like it all that much? Move to Russia, right? Gack, football international style, I really don't like. Something about the post game riots just leaves me cold. Hmm. Allow me to say that.. nevermind, who cares? Case badges, hot or cold. Get your case badge here!

Get your very own official AOA Forums case badge there. Where? Why, in the United Kingdom of course. After paying an extraordinary import duty, our very own dod will send our Members in Great Britain one of our case badges Free of charge. Take advantage of his generosity, just send Our Man in Scotland a Private Message!

Am I the only Member that has a Maserati? Yeah, a Matchbox Maserati, LOL. Surely can't expect a Member to have a very expensive car. But we expect every Member to ask for a free AOA Forums case badge! One or two of you still don't own one. Tsk!

Have you donated some time or cash to one of the relief outfits that are helping New Orleans be rebuilt? I read that the Red Cross isn't the right charity to send money to. I sent a C-note to the Save the Children's N.O. fund. Yes, this is long after Katrina ruined so much and so many people's lives. If you haven't donated, please do so now. We'll send you a brand new shiny free AOA Forums case badge to salute your good will!

"Oh bother!" said the plaid rabbit as he galloped away from the evil king's murderous uniformed slaves, "I forgot that they use GPS to triangulate my whereabouts, and that was a perfectly good cell phone." He stepped on to the subway train, still panting from the escape, "glad that they forgot to bring dogs!"
Don't let this happen to you, move to Canada today. Don't worry, we're happy to send you your case badge, wherever you are!

Oh Canada, Oh Canada. Nice national anthem, it's not big on war, war, war. Why didn't I have the good sense to be born in Canada? Not that I don't love my country, I simply don't like what Those Bahstages in Washington D.C. TM, are up to. What to do about it? Thus ends my somewhat tawdry message.
We will send every Member their free AOA Forums case badge, even if they live in the middle of the Sahara. Even if they live in Zamboanga, even if they live in the International Space Station. We'd ask you to pay the return postage to the ISS, sorry, we're not perfect. So get your finger out, PM me or dod today!

If any one gets the chance, put one on GW's fore head, it will melt him down into his shoes, not the highest purpose our case badges serve, but it will do pig, it will do!

But would our high quality ABS plastic badge stick to plastic? You know, that cheap stuff they make fake monster faces out of in Hollywood? It is a monster face, innit? We don't need to wait until Halloween. Or do we?
Signed, confused in Seattle.

All Hallow's Eve. They take the Day of the Dead very seriously in the United States of Mexico. Life is very hard in Mexico, why else would Mexicans take the chance of dying in the deserts of Arizona to get a poorly paid job here? I don't hold with putting down Mexicans. Most of the Mexicans I've known have been very honorable people. Better folks than Americans, in the main.
cloasters, why do you always put down Americans? Yes, I tend to do this, because I know we can do better! IMHO, we've allowed the standard that we attempt to reach to slip into the gutter. We don't belong in this filthy soup! Just because our leaders love to wallow in the filth doesn't mean that we should too! Yes, yes, it's one man's opinion for what it's worth.

Sometimes case badges seem a bit trivial. But not today, send me or dod a Personal Message, your case or monitor NEEDS one of our badges.

Tra la la la, life is but a passing dream. I suppose that's true, maybe I take it too seriously. Ever wonder if Kang and Kodos are real, not just imaginary aliens in The Simpsons? Ever seen a UFO? I may have seen one over Seattle's Elliot Bay. It was a small cube, smaller than the fuselage of a Cessna 172. I saw it for a moment, then I passed behind a building, but when I looked again, there was nothing there.
Come to think of it, it didn't look like one of our super galactic case badges at all. Order your's anyway!

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire. Ya know, I never liked that song or Jerry Lee Lewis all that much. I saw the guy perform at the Seattle Opera House many years ago. He resented having to perform that olde tune and wasn't happy pounding the keyboard with his feet, etc. Wasn't he the guy that married his fourteen year old cousin or something?
This has nothing to do with our wonderful case badges. Two months 'til Christmas. Noooo!

A tisket a tasket yadda blinking basket. I haven't seen a basket blink but there's a first for everything. Like not sitting upon your tuffet and PMing me or dod for your FREE AOA case badge. It doesn't hurt, I swear it upon the holy rood! I like sending our Members case badges, go ahead, make my day.
