What is a woodchuck? Seeing the famous "... if a woodchuck could chuck wood" for years, and I have no idea what a woodchuck is. Shameful. And so is not having your very own offishul case badge from AOA. Yet. PM me, it's easy.

On those wretched occasions when your ISP goes down or you lose your connection to the Web because a piece of gear lets you down, or perhaps you do something stoopid, there's nothing like a nice, and I do mean nice AOA Forums case badge on your machine. It's a morale booster. Boost your own badge from us, send me a Private Message! The badges are FREE.

"When the world was better," lame or what? How can the past be better than the present? We have only the moment. Fleeting booger, too. Any baseball fans here? As a former Massachusetts resident I favor the Red Sox. Gotta admit that Cleveland did very well in Game 2 of the ALCS. Go Sox!

Case badges, all y'all. Vigilance!

Unless an under the table deal with Fox broadcasting was made to extend the ALCS playoffs for the sake of the advertising dollar, it looks like Boston will lose to Cleveland. Sniffle. And how about those free AOA Forums case badges? They're always a hit, so PM me.

The Sox won on Thursday, so it's back to Boston for today's game. Whoever wins the ALCS will have one hell of a fight with Colorado, so best of luck and play well. Please!

It was touch and go, Boston took a small lead then widened it to yawning late in the game. The World Series begins at 8:00 PM EDT on Wednesday the 24th. The Rockies have been unstoppable for the last nineteen of their games. Let's hope that the American League advantage saves the Red Sox from humiliation!
The Series will look better still with a AOA Forums official case badge on your machine. Hint.

Shew, what a rout. The Red Sox murderized the Rockies in game 1. I hope they find their sea legs this evening, or it will be a boring game. And a quick and tired Series. The American League is supposed to be superior to the National League, but last night was a very poor showing by the Colorado team. Understandable, Beckett is one tough pitcher to score against!

The second game was a lot more entertaining, with a much closer score: Sox 2. Rockies 1. Tonight's game is in Denver, I hope the Rockies win this one. The outfield is said to stretch to forever, so real power hitting will be necessary. Go Sox!

How to rate the Colorado Rockies on their own? I don't know, I follow the American League. Say something nice about the Rockies. OK, love those future-ific shirts. Guffaw. Who knows, maybe Boston will make it to the Series next fall. The Rockies sure won't. Is the National League really that... talented?

Baseball. I swear, the Boston pitchers served up many a ball after telegraphing to the Rockies' batters exactly where the next pitch would be. After seven innings of this it was much easier to go with "die Rockies, die." And they finally did. Hollow victory. Ugh. I sincerely hope that next year's Series will feature two teams that are more evenly matched.

Baseball is over for the year, sigh. Can I ask you a question, please? If your computer's case is missing a hallowed case badge that sports the AOA name and design, can you live for another moment without one? Please do! And send me a Private Message requesting the delivery of one of our badges posthaste. Display the proud escutcheon of our favorite website where it should be. Free, free, free, in case you don't know this. "Free," as in no strings, no cost to you, dear Member.

Hard to beat "free as the wind." Oh ye of little fate. Fate: big or little? Your thoughts on this subject?

Ta da, I saw a woodchuck on the tube. Not bad looking creatures, sorta a smaller beaver without the tail. OK, next? Anyone see the PBS show featuring snow leopards? Talk about magnificent creatures! Pale blue eyes and a tail made very thick by fur. Long may they reign!

Snow leopards are fantastic. Naturally they are endangered, there are very few of them left. Oh, the glory of man!
Any hope of changing our destination? Last stop... Encouraging words? Never mind. Emily Latella?

And then there was the 18th Brumaire. WTF, Chuck? I don't know modern French history or modern European history worth a hoot. Oh, the shame of it. Abase me, Lord. Something about Napolean Bonerparte?

Maybe he loved thin air and precarious footholds on steep mountaynes? They live in a truly harsh environment, forced higher in the foothills of the Himalayas by that greediest of creatures. 17000 feet or so. If you can catch the PBS show, by all means.
You needn't climb high for one of our case badges, PM me!

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a great musician, song writer and guitar player. Does he deserve the label of genius? I honestly don't know, what's your opinion?

How long does gasoline/petrol remain "fresh?" The way the price of oil is headed, it wouldn't hurt to fill some barrels of your own. Especially if you own a gas hog. I read that it cost $5 per gallon in northern California recently. Yeah, I know that the price in Europe is higher, no need to rub it in.
