Acronyms for Scrum

Everyone thinks Scrum is an acronym anyway, so we might as well come up with one that works. There must be some out there already, but I can't find them, so please let me know if you run across any and I will publish the links here. Let's start with a few off the top of my head:
Scientific Catalytic Revolutionary Uplifting Meetings
Speeding Confusion Relying on Useless Methods
Society for Creating Really Ugly Messes
Sailing Can Rarely Uphold Meaning
Soporific Conversation that is Really Uninteresting and Mundane
Scrums Consist of Rapid Ugly Meetings
Speedy Conversations Relating Useless Memories
Slowly Consuming RUM
Standing, Contemplating, Relating, Understanding, Movement

Colorado Businesses At CES 2010

Surprisingly, there are only 28 businesses at CES who list their home office address as being within the borders of the state of Colorado, or somewhere between 1 and 2 percent. Even more interesting, for all its high-tech pretensions, most of the firms from Colorful Colorado would not be described as "high tech" by most observers. Examples are a multitude of firms manufacturing traditional stereo equipment, a massage chair manufacturer, and two carrying case companies. More to come.
