Yes, that was the tangent!

In that vein, Bad Taste is coming up a week from tomorrow (3/3/07) at 10:59:59.

Amy: ``I don't know computering!'' KR: ``I computered with your mom last night.''

Kevin then proceeds to make a ``Your Mom'' joke.

Motion to condemn the Skinner for having standards that are not only lower than slime, they're lower than slime with a banana peel floating in it fails by Skinnerial decree.

BING!

Future Business

It's ringing wrong!

Malcolm: ``Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky...''

ALC tries to quote from The Lord of the Rings and fails.

BING! Meeting adjourned, 1830 SST.




Respectfully submitted,
