Three grand is way too much. Crack pipe.

Ditto for companies that shoehorn "AMERI" as a prefix: Americredit, Americar, Ameritox, Ameriblahblah.

So what do you do if your birthday or some other significant date falls on a day that no longer exists? Like January 31 or July 31???

So, I guess this means Silver Shamrock Novelties is back in business? Watch out on 10/31/2012!!!

Ah, but the problem with Pepsi's defense, IMO, is that this was a can of soda. I seriously doubt whether 12 fluid ounces of dilute carbonic and phosphoric acids could dissolve a whole mouse. Sure, it might dissolve some of the mouse, but the whole thing?

Goose egg carton, of course...

I can tell he's not your evil twin - no goatee...

That's what she said.

And the first thing he's gonna do is order "Tuscani" badges for it, 'cuz that'll make it a better car.

You won't have to wait long for it to die. A few years ago I developed an arrhythmia and had to go on decaf for a while, so we bought a Keurig so my wife could drink the real stuff, and I could drink decaf, without too much fuss. We used the "my k-cup" accessory you describe - you fill it with your own ground coffee.

Coffee Fight!

For the same reason - they're being non-lethally harassed by a bunch of volunteers who haven't the first idea of how to sail a large vessel, but who are armed with loads of cameras and communication gear. Any lethal opposition to this harassment would be cause for any number of nations to decide it's time to get…

Damn straight. If the EOD wants to give their packbot a rank, so be it.
