I hate those prolonged keyboard solos. I blame Jon Lord.

Neat trick that, hiding your tools in a hamburger. Anything to avoid
those export tariffs, eh?

Its not polite to boast about things like that.

This deserves the Nobel prize for literature.
It reminds me of a manual from a VCR which I once read. It was
translated by a some kind of translating software and put the VCR in a

Er, no it's still a bit mangled and doesn't make much sense.
I take it that it's a history of a famous Naples mandolin maker?
Are you using the Babelfish to translate from Italian into

I tried translating my sfdesign site into french this way once. Had me in
