...icon on the Windows desktop--a key concession. Microsoft tried to get Colburn to say AOL had switched because Microsoft's browser was technically superior--and he had internal documents suggesting that some AOL employees thought so.

Parks has garnered much admiration and infamy among Nashville Pussy's fans, as much for the clear brassiere she wears at shows as for her musical talent. She towers at a height of six feet, three inches (6'7" including her boots and cowboy hat)--at Nashville Pussy shows, she blows fire into the crowd by spewing liquor from her mouth onto an open flame and often kicks her male admirers in the head...
