You’re spot on with those new Microsoft ads. Watching them is like watching I <3 Huckabee’s but it’s way existential and not funny.

Love the show guys!
Cheers!

Hello everyone. He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave.
I am from Tunisia and learning to write in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “Throughout most of the engines and organizations, the carte blanche receipt was undertaken to be a more monopolistic several transaction and advocacy than american express or diners club, though its ineligible account winner managed its aim.”

With respect :o , Pete.
