RE: ACME Fertilizer Buyout Press Release. From the Yahoo IOM Thread... messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com Message 13419 IOM buyout Announced The_TICKER_Sez (40/M/Lala Land) Jun 4 1998 9:29AM EDT NEWSRELEASE[Routers News Service] June 4, 1998 ROY UTAH: ACME FERTILIZER PRODUCTS announced today that it will be staging a total buyout of stock share in IOMEGA Corp, a once leading manufacturer of removable storage devices. ACME has initiated the buyout offering a whopping $0.27 a share par value for common stock. Iomega Corp. Officials couldnt be reached as they are all said to be "Syquestered" in various carribbean island nations. Comment was made by "Skip" in the Iomega mail room who had this to say; "Wooo hooo! I'm actually gonna get something for these Iomega stock certificates I'd been using to line the boxes of the 43 cats I own". As "skip" wept with joy, he was also heard to say that "finally Iomega will get the recognition it deserves". ACME, a leader in organic fertilizer products said that with this multi-thousand dollar buyout, ACME will be able to increase its manure production 10 fold by using the ZIP PLUS! disks as a replacement for conventional cow manure. ACME officials said; "Hyuck Hyuck...by addin' thuh Iomega produkt we kin get alotta compost turd produkt uv high qual-i-tee." The Iomega products serve as a catalyst in the composting process by adding its own special brand of synthetic, high purity fecal matter from which the product is initially derived. Iomega Corp. had been trying to figure out how to market their "new technology" and believe that its new partnership with ACME will amount to a worldwide installed base of a new hybrid product: The POOP! Drive(tm). The drive will be the same Iomega product that literally 10's of people have come to know and love but with the fine improvement with the addition of "organic fecal matter" to work simultanously with its synthetic fecal matter that will TRULY let you know when the drive POOPS! It will give off a certain unmistakable odor to let you know your data has REALLY taken a shit. (c)1998
