    AN unhusked corn cob.

    I mean, if you're going to get that close to AP, you might want to be grammat...oh, never mind. This is AP. The one who Tuesday sent three different gamers with sentences invoking team names, then "its" later.

    Wouldn't you be better off going with a husked corn cob? Seems like the less painful option.

    Unless you're into that type of thing.

    Hey IJAG, are the Reds going to get its first baseman back any time soon?

    Swear to god, it was that bad. It was stuff like "The Indians scored eight times in the fourth inning for its first win in its last 17 games."

    Just horrid.

    I should have said that the AP should stick an unhusked corn cob up its ass, not to pull one out of mine.

    Apparently, I have unresolved unhusked corn cob issues traced back to my youth.

    I go another round tonight, at least this time I'll be ready. I've got NYC on speed dial at the first sign of trouble. If our agate ship is going down, those assholes are going to hear about it.

    The AP thing or the unhusked corn cob thing?

    We still use it for photos. It's still active for us.

    Here's why ... and prepare to laugh. If you use a Netscape brower, that's right I invoked the ghost of the defunct Netscape, you can still get to it.

    At our shop, we still have Netscape (it still works, though it's obviously no longer supported) on our machnes and can still access it. If you go to yourap via Windows, it directs you to APExchange.

    Sometimes, shitty technology works in our favor.

    It doesn't matter for me tonight as our satellite server is working. Had it not, I might've had to choke a bitch.
