OK, now that moderation is funny. Don't Mod Parent up, keep the troll tag. :-)

Been working in IT long have you? :-P

Yeah, Taco Bell always backs me up...

And Kittens! Don't forget the kittens.

No one would EVER build a golf course in a desert.

Wait wait wait, I don't get this whole Clogging thing...

Could you do that again with a car analogy?

How self defeatist is that? We name our own sun S.O.L.
