			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The JW Drinking Game enjoys a long and illustrious history as being the quickest, most efficient way of inducing alcohol poisoning among a given group of people. Some rumors have placed it as the reason behind the Hot-Swappable Livers product line, as the participants were frequently falling victim to severe liver complications after only a few rounds of the game. </p>
<p>The earliest recorded occurrence was the infamous &#8220;Montana&#8221; variation of 2007. So called because the players would drink every time the state name was mentioned by JW. However this variation quickly fell out of use for several reasons; the foremost being that it was rather difficult to keep up forcing players to chug their drinks outright in an effort to not fall behind, and secondly because JW soon became aware of the key word thus removing the sport in it.</p>
<p>Other variations include references to MCEN policy circa 1990&#8217;s, utterances of &#8220;OH FUCK NO!!!&#8221;, or other such verbal outbursts. Prospective players are warned that they participate at their own risk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MikeCo has now officially branched out into providing highly skilled<br />
contractors that can enable any company to maximize their synergy potential!<br />
We&#8217;re excited to offer the following service:</p>
<p>Delegation Technicians (Levels I/II/III)</p>
<p>The role of a Delegation Technician is one whose sole responsibility<br />
is to have their responsibilities delegated to other technicians within the<br />
organization. While this may seem paradoxical at first, by subverting<br />
reality through a unique (and patented!) manipulation of a space/time by<br />
means of PowerPoint slides, it has not only consistently proven possible but<br />
highly lucrative as well!<br />
Some may question whether any actual value is added to an<br />
organization wishing to utilize Delegation Technicians. However, we at<br />
MikeCo believe that since space/time and indeed reality itself have been<br />
perverted&#8230;.er &#8220;corrected&#8221; to such a wild degree through our Reality<br />
Modifying PowerPoint Presentations (RMPPP) that any attempt at obtaining<br />
performance metrics would be futile and detrimental to current operating<br />
efficiency. The benefit is thus self-apparent and any efficiency minded<br />
organization would certainly value by immediate implementation of this<br />
strategic vision.</p>

the easy destruction of massive amounts of documentation, paperwork, and/or<br />

mulching process are then passed into a portable smelting furnace which<br />
either turns metal objects into bricks of ore for reselling or for<br />
non-metallic objects turns them into bricks of carbon which are then<br />
spray-painted to look like metal ore and sold as such.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We at MikeCo are very excited about some of our upcoming initiatives and<br />
wish to keep you, our valued partners, informed so that you may share in our<br />
excitement. Following is a list of planned projects currently added to our<br />
overall business strategy. As always, please provide your valued feedback to<br />
our Suggestion Coordination Center at devnull@mikeco.org Thank you and have<br />
an outstanding MikeCo day!</p>
<p>-ASCIIcel (another super addition to our growing ASCIIOffice Suite)<br />
Spreadsheet Application utilizing ASCII art to display and organize<br />
information. As such, an otherwise mildly confusing presentation of numbers<br />
and accounting information is obfusticated to such a level as to rival RSA<br />
encryption standards.</p>
<p>-MIOS(Marine Internet Operating System)<br />
IOS converted into Marine Speak. i.e. &#8220;Do you wish to reload the router now?<br />
YES/NO?&#8221; would be &#8220;Reload, make condition 4 router: gtg?&#8221; (utilizes the<br />
proprietary Marine Speak Translation API)</p>
<p>-Midget Based Weaponry Systems<br />
Midgets wearing spiked German Helmets can either be self-propelled and run<br />
up to the targets or fired from a proprietary artillery cannon. A Humvee<br />
mounted version is currently being developed.</p>
<p>-Suggestion Coordination Center Server 2009<br />
A server platform solution for increasing the synergy dynamic within the<br />
framework of a companies Employee Suggestion policy infrastructure.<br />
Employees can login and submit valuable feedback on initiatives and other<br />
company policies.</p>
<p>The server runs on a proprietary linux kernel, specially modified for the<br />
most efficient handling of this task. A small partition handles the actual<br />
web interface, while all input is automatically stored in our special<br />
/dev/null partition. This technique saves thousands of dollars on<br />
unnecessary storage space.</p>

<p>Here is how the MikeCo &#8220;Customer Care&#8221; line will work.</p>
<p>If a customer has a &#8220;problem&#8221; with one of our services/products, they can<br />
call the &#8220;Customer Care&#8221; line.  They will be greeted by a chipper,<br />
high-pitched female voice listing our options:</p>
<p>1- Report problems with the BASTARD (leads to an infinite loop of<br />
menus(ILM))<br />
2- Report problems with your Hood Scoop (ILM)<br />
3- Report problems with your midget security guard (ILM)<br />
4- Report problems with your Hot Swappable Liver (ILM, also recommends that<br />
the customer stop consuming alcohol and dial 911 if this is an emergency)<br />
5- Report problems with your Infinite Loop of Menus (leads to an ILM)<br />
6- If you are dis-satisfied with your MikeCo customer service experience we<br />
offer two options:<br />
1- We will send a MikeCo employee to your residence so that you can<br />
punch him/her in the face.  This is a free service offered by MikeCo.     (the<br />
job of being punched in the face will be shared by all employees     and<br />
will be rotated every week along with the duty cell phone)<br />
2- Gold subscribers get the option to detonate a small nuclear<br />
device     somewhere in the Sahara Dessert. (While this will not accomplish<br />
anything it will make customers feel better)</p>
<p>Of course, anytime someone is on hold they will need to hear something.  We<br />
will have the same chipper, high-pitched female voice raving about the great<br />
qualities of all MikeCo products&#8230;..then the sound of her being run down by<br />
a speeding freight train.</p>
