The day after halloween is Hollowmass or something like that. Does this mean that delinquents have yet another day to throw eggs and TP trees? Not that I ever did, or even placed a paper bag full of flaming dog poop on an unfavored neighbor's front porch. Eggs mess up cars amazingly badly. Off comes the paint, and eggs will eat through a rag top. So, what has all this got to do with AOA's splendid case badges? They're far better than an egg. You can't eat them, true. Yet they add a soupcon of stylishness to any PC or Mac case. Tarry not, good Members!

Lotte Lenya. Always liked this name. She was married to composer Kurt Weill, one of the cooler Socialists of yesteryear. He's famous for The Threepenny Opera, Lotte Lenya played Jenny Diver in the original production. We performed The Threepenny Opera in college on a shoestring budget. It was great fun!
If you saw the James Bond film From Russia With Love Lotte Lenya played Irma Klebb, a nasty piece of work who nearly killed the hero.

It's Election Day if you favor the Democrats. Tomorrow is the election for Republicans. Don't forget to vote, this is the most important mid-term election we've had in years. Just kidding, Republicans vote today too.

The voters have spoken. We don't like the direction that -ush is taking us. He says he'll work with the Democrats. That'll be the day. We give our AOA case badges to Republicans and Dems without favoring one side, let us send you a free one today!

What if you don't like Shirley Temple? Does admitting that I greatly enjoyed the scene in The Simpsons when King Kong grabbed her and ate her whole just as she finished singing "The good ship, Lollypop" make me a bad person? I waited decades to see the little obscenity treated as she deserves to be. And she never ordered one of our case badges. Why oh why would anyone follow her example?

Visions of sending Domenic and Vito to the homes of the Members who
stubbornly neglect to order their FREE AOA Forums case badges. Don't tell them that you were going to order your's "tomorrow." Capisce?

Well, if you absolutely must have another jellyfish... Gack, those buggers hurt, I sweah it's true. Not to mention the deadly ones. Our most desirable AOA Forums case badges do NOT sting. Not a sting in a carload. As witnessed by Oogla Boogla, Esq. Notary Public. My license expires 8/17/07.

In days of olde we slathered ourselves with peanut oil while water skiing in the Chesapeake Bay. Plenty of jellyfish required defensive action. Our glorious AOA case badges require no defense, so stop already. Take a bold step forward, order yours today!

Over in Killarney, many years ago. No reason to get ethnic, we send our AOA case badges to all races, creeds and faiths. Without favor. Hop to it, we don't have all year!

Yes! The snow and temperature in the teens has moved East. Good for us, maybe not good for you. Sorry, we just had to share the wealth. Looks like the mid-west is going to get hammered. Possible tornados, but at the end of November? Gad, huddling in front of the fire with no electricity, waiting for a twister? Can't be good!
In other news... What news? Does anyone believe the "news" presented on tv? It's the Web for me, not MSM(main stream media. Aka, regime media.) Fahgett aboud it, nothing to see there. Not even good for wrapping fish. Ever get wapped by a fish?

Never wapped by a fish? Oh, the paucity of variegated experience. According to some authorities, all the big fish will be gone from the oceans by 2048 if we don't control our greed. Greed, control. Oxymoronic. You needn't be slow between the ears to enjoy the sparkle of our superlative AOA case badge. They are FREE.

Got four requests for our ultra-nonpareil AOA case badges yesterday. Not to put too fine a point on it--but I know all y'all can do better!

Well i have now placed my AOA case badge under the front grill area on my xblade so now it's in lights. You too could do the same. Not only does it make your case look ultra cool, it helps your FPS! Mine went up by 10 just by adding the case badge! Get yours today! Perhaps you should recap the address for US and UK members to send their stamped addressed envelope to.

That would make it easier for our Members and maybe easier for me, wouldn't it? Heaven forfend doing something that makes good sense! I don't want to broadcast my grid coordinates. Paranoid? Probably. But I really don't want to read "play Misty for me." It's always something.

Snip, my bad.

Another cool mod from skool h8r. You da man! As of Jan 1, 07 we'll start charging $67.00 for our badges. Take the hint, they are FREE right now!



Just kidding. Kidding! Kidding! Yet this year's FREE AOA case badges are a great vintage, why deny yourself the pleasure of a great rarity? Nothing is free anymore, act today and save! You spend nothing and get something, act now!
