This is Sergeant Tim Mccarthy for the Indiana State Police. On your way home from this afternoon’s game, please remember to be courteous to the other drivers and obey all of the rules of the road. If you’re drinking, please don’t drive. And follow the directions of the police officers when crossing the road outside the stadium. Remember, anyone who tries to bolt through traffic… is a real nut.

Attention. These are the SDMB School Announcements for August 29, 2001.

The lunch special today (for the third day in a row) from UncleBeer is beer. Big surprise, folks.

Incoming Troll Orientation continues today in the BBQ Metal Shop with Alphagene. So if you hear screaming coming from that area of building, don’t be alarmed. In totally unrelated news, I’m sure, the Senior SDMB Photographers Club would like to announce an exhibition of their most recent work. The showing is entitled, “Tools of Satan”.

Beloved Moderator JillGat has changed her name to Jill Magruder. She blatantly denies it’s because someone published her admission of being puked on at a carnival, but we know better.

I always thought Bach’s Organ Fugue in D Minor would be appropriate…but probably too loud. :stuck_out_tongue:

“Attention Mr. Botha. Mr. P. W. Botha. Please pick up a white courtesy telephone.”

You mean the Toccata and Fugue, dear.
