I think the whole O'keeffe thing is obnoxious. This "branding" of everything under the sun is crazy.

Cathy, as the legal representative of the Patsy Cline estate, I must formally ask you to remove the word "Crazy" from your post. The 1962 version of the Willie Nelson song is copyrighted and branded, and we have full authority to prosecute for your use of the term.

Also covered by law are the words "I," "think," and "the."

Thank you.

Benny - the words "I" and "think" belong to the estate of Rene Descartes, as part of the branding of the cogito (I think, therefore I am).

Please cease and desist. Thank you.

Ms. Babe, I assure you that the ad hoc, de facto, semper ubi sub ubi declaration you have made has no grounds, as Mr. Descartes' famous slogan was written in Latin, and he failed to apply for the Super Deluxe Jumbo Copyright Value Meal, which covers translations.

Additionally, I'm afraid I must file a formal complaint for your use of the word "and," which is under the purview of the Shakespeare estate.

so let me get this straight. comcast sells phone, video & internet services to business customers ostensibly to provide greater freedom and connectivity, all in pursuit of increased productivity and profits. but, they've come to the conclusion that to service their products and services, well, they'd be better off having everyone under one physical roof.
okay....

You know I saw one of those Super Deluxe Jumbo Copyright Value Meal's over on Paseo del Norte the other day. It was heading west at a high rate of speed. The last I saw of it was when it belched a cloud of black smoke, made a sudden three-lane sweep to the right hand lane and pulled into the Chick-fil-A.

Uncles Jess, I agree, Benny's reference to Patsy Cline and the word crazy made me laugh out loud at work, as well as BB's reply. Good stuff. Keep it up folks.
