I'll admit the broadcasting version is more pronounceable. In the world of general computing, as opposed to broadcasting, that acronym is PBCAK - Problem Between Chair and Keyboard.

And having been a skinny kid, and I do mean skinny, Mo is now a hero for another reason. Great picture. And having been a skinny kid, and I do mean skinny, Mo is now a hero for another reason.

And since we're talking about his theater career, Mo just posted <a href="http://newsbloggers.aol.com/2007/04/15/on-second-thought-maybe-i-should-have-eaten-more-doughnuts/" rel="nofollow">this gem of a picture</a> on his blog.

At our station we use this acronym for user caused technical issues... PEBCAC Problem Exists Between Chair And Console I'll report various issues as "user x reported no audio, I found their headphones were not plugged in... pebcac" I second that commercial broadcasting is supremely un-fun. commence lurking Picking up on siobhan’s comment, I’m a broadcast engineer currently slumming in the world of live television.

That's not a good scenario for his high tech electronic altimeter exposed to the elements like it is now. Maybe it will blow down in the storms and he'll at least be able to get his motor hardware back. The number one rule in this hobby is do not fall in love with your rockets. They'll break your heart every time. On a cheerier note, for those of you who may have missed the story recently about Pat Robertson's Regent University Law School and how the Bush Administration is packing the Justice Department with these Bible thumping barracudas, here is a link to Bill Maher's take on this whole sad affair. http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/04/14/maher-blasts-regent-law-schools-transformation-of-the-doj/ Hey, just back from flying the big boys and what a day it was, though one of my buddies landed a $250 rocket about 50 feet up a spindly pine tree and severe thunderstorms are predicted for tonight and tomorrow.

"The Donald" made a contribution to my campaign fund for a future election to a public office, yet to be named, and I agreed to sucker punch Rosie in return. It's a continuation of my recently launched "Reach the Moral High-Ground by Stepping on Shlemiels Crusade". (Adam, you like the yiddish word? I been watching Chuck Schumer on C-SPAN. That city boy always did have a way with words.) The tie I wore to the press conference was from the Frangi Collezioni and I thought it really complimented the tasteful cut of my Giorgio Armani black pinstripe. You don't want to know how much <em>that</em> outfit cost. Keith Olbermann made me the Worst Person in the World again this week. Thanks, Keith, that really helps me with the Christian Conservative base. He keeps fixating on the "Hilter/my felony indictment" comparison I made in my latest book - "No Retreat, No Surrender: One American's Fight" (available at Amazon.com) and on the talk show tour I've been doing. Keep venting your spleen in my general direction, old buddy. There no such thing as bad publicity. Oh well, I've got to get to my corporate jet and fly down to Cancun for the Univision interview. I'm taking Newt with me as a translator and it's all a great big tax right-off, even the beach front condo and the cigarette boat rental. There nothing like writing the legislation to know all the secret handshake tax loopholes. Hasta Luego, compadres.

I recommend placing it just below the section labeled 'Featuring'. Or perhaps that is the significance of Sienna's greyed profile. Is Mo due for some greying?

His first question for most problems was "Is the oh-en-slash-oh-eff-eff switch in the oh-en or oh-eff-eff position?" It was startling how many times that solved the problem.
