Uhhh geez. I can't remember. It has been a while. And since I've changed job duties I don't need it much anymore. One of my cube mates still uses a PC version for his monthly processing. I used to employ a mainframe version.

we were bantering sigma? about sas? i wish i could remember that. (but then i'm having a little trouble remembering my name. i've just wrapped up a 16 hr day.) i do remember the multi-lingual jokes.

Once on FWIS2, after I called the usual suspects (and probably Michael too) Pinko Commie Liberals, you came out demanding an insult, I since I could not find anything "peyorative" to say, I claimed that your using of SAS was BAD.

alas, i don't remember that. (i plead fatigue. i've already racked up over 30 hrs and it's only tuesday.) i do remember you telling gj all about sas. i also remember when you came up with mr mono and what a dolt i felt like when you had to explain it.

but you're right. you've never called me a pinko liberal commie.

hap, that would depend on the layout and the sizes of the font and the shirt.

brite is petite so it would be awkward.

sigma, why have you limited her title to the evil imperial imperialist gringo infidel empire? and shouldn't there be a 'supreme' or 'absolute' somewhere in the title? furthermore, despite what you've said, i still feel that gringo is usually intended as an insult.

Would "The Queen of Outer Space" be better?

I could call you "Yankee" if it makes you feel better, just remember that's how high-ranking chavistas refer to you guys......

And for no reason at all, the first 15 seconds of this advert might be entertaining

Ahhhh, Foreign Policy took notice on Leopoldo Lopez

For those that weren't paying attention, Leopoldo Lopez is an opposition political figure that was arrested during last year's riots. I have always thought that he's an idiot. If he's our "last best hope", we're throughly fucked.
