Kinda reminds me of Phil Hartman. Gosh I miss that guy. "Hi! I'm Troy McLure!

It is obvious that Rockwell is trying to make money by modial squatting. What are they giong to do when the masses find out that six hydrocoptic marzel-veins are actually three pairs of slanted pandellic capacitrailors that have no way to take advantage of the parapleptic syncing provided by the lunar wayne-shap.

I sense mass chaos. Rockwell better get it's crap together and reconfigure the drawn-reciprocation ratios before the BBB and FCC get involved. Could this be the real reason Powell stepped down as FCC chair?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/08/05/the-retro-encabulator/http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/05/the-retro-encabulator/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AM
