"Only your doctor can tell you if Fuxitol is right for you, even though our suggestive imagery will no doubt cause you to imagine symptoms and badger him for it anyway. He'll be a pushover since we gave him some neat stuff. Side effects include distended colon, runny nose, itchy rash, tardiness, sleepiness, synaesthesia, tactile hallucinations, insomnia, bleeding from eyes, sleephumping, paralysis, death, and dry mouth. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience any loss of vision or feeling, so he can put you on a different medication, also made by us."

I have actually seen a commercial for "Aciphex", where they do indeed say "check with your doctor to see if Aciphex is right for you."

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

You just described our data center engineering philosophy in a nutshell there.  Lately, at least.

I have seen them other places that do.  But the ones I've seen here, no.

With maybe the exception on Demo's new one.   :-D

If you're serious;  . . . well, even if you're not it's still there; but you can turn off 'show avatars'.

Not even a little bit.  Though, I'm a little bit partial to the Coolio sig that some awesome d00d made for you.

I really liked the one that E! had over at that other place with the disturbing looking child who's eye popped out and she ate it.
