Create 500 topics about the same topic.
Insult other members without worrying about a warning.
Have signature images bigger than the 500x100 limit.
Make back-to-back-to-back-to-back posts without them being combined.
The possibilities are endless!

Oh, Mods, thank you for keeping us all in line!
Now, back to the topic at hand. All I can say is....

*scratches head* *blinks perplexedly* Huh. Oh well. *goes back to doing whatever*

Yes.....but you forgot the most important 2 of them all...
without mods...we'd see a lot of canned Spam with Scams included in a mail away offer with your inner most secret which for Escapays I'll say this..
I think Escapay Detests Slipcovers because in secret because he loves slipcover almost more than The Rocketeer but depises them because there is no Slipcover for his all time favorite movie...The Rocketeer.....
Okay back on topic...
about the 3.1 million being spent to make unisex Papayas. by the Government given the University of IL.....nice to see that stimulus money being put to some real worth for a college like th U of IL....unlike something like college grants and tuitions or upgrading books.....
Great what's next....California to look into making the ultimate Bisexual Eggplant for 69 thousand??

I hate slipcovers because it acts as a placebo-type "protector" of DVD cases for people who otherwise don't know how to properly take care of their DVD cases.
I hate slipcovers because it makes some people want to just look AT the DVD case instead of actually watch the DVD itself.
I hate slipcovers because when you put a row of DVDs on a shelf, you have less DVDs per shelf if they're all slipcovered.
I hate slipcovers because they've become marketing gimmicks, secondhand-resale gimmicks, and all-around gimmicks that turn even the most casual DVD buyers into something along the lines of "OMG, I need to have the COMPLETE PACKAGE when I buy this movie, I need to make sure it has that tree-killin' DVD condom!"
I hate slipcovers because I don't need some lenticular packaging, some open-like-a-book packaging, some embossed packaging, some scratch-and-sniff packaging, some subliminal messaging packaging, or some laced-with-cocaine-to-make-you-high packaging when all I want is the goddamn movie and its bonus features.
I hate slipcovers because they're as much of a waste of paper as Blu-Ray booklets in DVD cases are.

Oh, Scaps!
Well... first of all, if the DVD doesn't wear a condom, it may get a digital copy pregnant. And then, they would have disgusting mutant babies that would play the film with all of the colors completely wrong, and scenes cut and added at random places. And fart jokes. Lots of fart jokes.
And how did you know that Disney was going to start lacing packaging with Cocaine? It's a Blu exclusive, though.

I thought the Cocaine-Laced Slipcovers were only on Marky's copy... it would explain so much.
