In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader called Abraham of Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.
And Dot of Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called “Amazon Dot Com”. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, “Why dost thou travel far from town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?”
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, “How, dear?”
And Dot replied, “I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah’s Pony Stable (UPS).”
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his tent. But this success did arouse the envy of a man named Maccabeus (Mac for short), who did secrete (look it up, it means to hide) himself inside Abraham’s drum and was accused of insider trading.
And many young men did take to Dot Com’s trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short. And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would work only with Brother Gates’ drumheads and drumsticks.
And Dot did say, “Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others.”
And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or as it came to be known “eBay” he said, “We need a name that reflects what we are.”
And Dot replied, “Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.”
“YAHOO!” said Abraham. And that is how it all began.
Al Gore had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Just to let you know, those aren't Apaches. Those are 160th SOAR (A) Night Stalker Black Hawk DAPs (Direct Action Penetrators). Those Black Hawks had two miniguns and 2.75 inch rockets. Some will have the exact 30mm cannon on Apaches, but two of them on the Black Hawk. I just wanted to tell you this since well the 160th is kick ass.
No excuses, just setting things straight. Thanks Juan for the heads up.

See if you can out smart your right foot.
1. While sitting where you are , at your desk, in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand.
Bet you try it more than once!

The Sunday Best...
Angry man shoots lawn mower for not starting.
British Muslims 'fighting with Taliban in Afghanistan'. And hopefully dying with the Taleban.
Spy-in-sky patrols over British cities in hunt for Taliban fighters. That's what you get for giving away citizenship to all and sundry.
Renewed fears over terrorist renditions after flight to Guantanamo lands at RAF base. What fears. The only place better than Gitmo for terrorists is hell.
Troops on standby in Burma for massacre anniversary. Expect another massacre. China must be held to account for propping up the Burmese regime. There are those who think that part of the regime is made up of Red Army Officers.
Chicken run: Hen racing is the sport of wings. Only in England. Makes you proud!!
James May: The caravan conundrum.
RAF sends air rescue crews to Afghanistan. Either start spending more on defence or give up. I know which one Labour would rather do.
Rogue Pakistan spies aid Taliban in Afghanistan. No S**t! The Pakistanis invented the Taleban and have supported them since day one.
Beijing Olympics: the spying games. We should not be going to the Olympics. The Chinese cannot be trusted.
the Clarkypoos bit.
Peep in my wife’s knicker drawer and see what you get.
