Inconceivable that the word 'modular' could be permitted utterance on the campus, too. To acknowledge that their entire product line has morphed into so many mega-lines that No One on Earth could possibly fix it - surely could only be admitted within the cover-letter to investors, explaining the reasons behind the company's dissolution into n-fragments and the planned auction of capital equipment. Hey - I showed the Bally dance to someone a few days ago. Comment: "Jeez, those guys are just plain sick.." Guess I've never seen a quote from M$ containing a simple acknowledgement with no subordinate clauses, re Any topic. Ashton

Surreptitious semblances scamper surrealistically, strewing scabrous solecisms, simpering sophistry - striving sententiously - still, scintillating serendipity seems South. Zymotic, yellowish xeroxed vellums unsatisfactorily trumpet simple rationales: querulous ponderings of nebulous musings. Let knaves justly invoke hoary genuflection, for early doth craven biliousness atrophy.
