[Vwdiesel] OT but not offensive?

[Area31 Research Facility]

OFF TOPIC alert!!!

I seem to recall hearing about dish on the alleged news a while ago.  Dish
is a sad example of how far civilization has come and it dishturbs me a
little.

I guess they can now hire a new 'Dish strict attorney', and the run down
used Chevy dealer can change it's name to 'Dish Chevelle'.  The newspaper
absolutely has to be renamed the 'Dish Rag', and I'm sure the local towel
and soap companies will have renewed civic pride!  The local greasy spoon
can now be called 'Dish'n Chips'.  If there is a bad storm what remains of
the big hotel can be called the 'Dish Astor' .  The bowling alley becomes
'Dish Bowl' and to avoid any confusion the large sports stadium becomes 'The
Dish Bowl'.  Every little discount shop becomes a 'Dishcount Shop" whose
wares might best be described as 'dish and dat'.  The big tire center
becomes 'The Dish Traction Center'. The cable company that turned the town
into a satellite community of its former self will set up an office and call
it  'Dish Co. Tech".

Oh someone stop me before I dish out any more and someone finds my humor
dishtasteful or dishtracting. ;)
