    This was the best part:

    Mr. Freedenberg planned to acquire MC2 Magazine next, but could not read the contract provided by Barry Brazier, the magazine’s publisher, due to the sheer number of typos, missed words and grammatical mistakes in the proposed contract supplied by MC2."

    Sooo.....

    Who's gonna take the plunge and risk banning by posting the news over on that other site? In true form, even thought the ink is dry on the contract and a few pennies have changed hands I still have no access. My legal team from Sioux, Grabbit & Runne are preparing papers as I write this.

    Not at all. MA-NA.us is not Comcast. We don't buyout the competition then raise rates.


    BTW, in cause you did not notice we are using the .US top level for the new site. Not only to celebrate the location where the majority of members are domiciled, but to show how inclusive we are.

    In further news, IB brands is making large investments in Afghanistan, North Korea and the Ukraine, citing these as stable future markets with tremendous growth potential.

    When the NAM staff were asked about the merger, they shook with uncontrollable excitement. "I couldn't take one more 'what's the best oil' or 'would this shift knob make my ass look big thread'", one unpaid staff member wriley noted. Despite their unpaid status, it is felt by many that the NAM staff is still overpaid. "No worries, that's just a bad rumor", another staff member replied. "They love me over at MA. They even are putting my name on the back of a shirt!!!"

    In fact, it's the strength of recent T-Shirt sales that made Mr. Freedenberg's longstanding dream of acquiring both IB and NAM a reality.

    With regard to MC2, Mr. Brazier has been working diligently to get his reading level up, which now impressively up to a third grade level. "I relly want MC3 tu bee part uf dis murger," Mr. Brazier graciously tried to write.

    Gratz Nate--future is looking bright!

    Yep, way to go!

    50 points away for me, otherwise I'd have done it. I still use it for the marketplace when absolutely needed, which is becoming increasingly less necessary.

    We should all chip in and send Drew a pair of underwear with "Motor On" on the back. It's the least we can do; he'll need to change his when he sees that post on the holy sewing site.
