I also play chess here under "Esmark." [April 9, 2001]Fireland Text Products

Online ordering of parts, easy to navigate, -bang!- I've fixed our answering machine. [January 14, 1999]Penny Arcade

The local minor league baseball team with all the refreshing purity of people who play not because of money but because they love the game. [August 1, 1998]The Second Coming

Free subscription to Chess Life with membership [August 20, 1997]USAA
A bank, an insurance company, and more. You have to be military, ex-military, or, ahem, a dependent of ex-military to join, but it's financial services heaven if you can get in. [August 1, 1999]VanDriesche.com
