Acrochallenge!

Hello, hello. Lovers of letters, lovers of life. Welcome to another round of acromania.

I'm finally working in a fully-staffed office, well, as fully staffed as it's going to get. We're still a person shy, but have been going on 2 years, and I'm convinced the boss will never hire anyone else to fill that spot. But after two weeks of working in a 2-person office, we now have all 3 back. It was a little easier today.

Speaking of vacations, which I can only speak of because I haven't had one, let's turn that into tonight's acro. How about, "I Saw It On Vacation."

All the other rules are the same. Everyone gets three entries to come up with the best acronym they can that not only matches the topic above, but also the letters below, which are randomly drawn from the acrobasket. The acrobasket goes in a for a spa treatment and new varnishing on his vacation. Every year. Then tomorrow at 10pm est I shall be naming the winners, who will get an extra week's vacation, and the non-winners, who shall come and work in my place while I take a week off.

So, the topic, "I Saw It On Vacation." The letters:

R C J R S A

There you have it. Get out of vacation mode long enough to acro.

Betland's Olympic Update:
* Thought you might like a sample of the scintillating conversation that sometimes takes place between Mr M and I online. From last night:

Mr M says:
Hey, do Huckie and P. have insurance with you?
Bet says:
noooooooo.
Bet says:
i've tried, but they're very loyal to their company.
Bet says:
cartoon assurance
Bet says:
inc
Mr M says:
Really! I had no idea there was such a thing.
Bet says:
oh, yeah. they're huge! they insure the flintstone mobile, and the flintstones' house, which of course is made of rock so nothing happens to it.
Bet says:
they insure the jetsons' space car, and bugs bunny's warren.
Mr M says:
Right.
Bet says:
they refused to insure wile e coyote's car though, because he had so many accidents. he had to go with toon mutual.
Mr M says:
Toon Mutual is the Allstate of cartoon insurers?
Bet says:
apparently. very, very high rates.
Bet says:
for characters like wile e, and mr magoo
Mr M says:
Yeah, but don't their cars spring back to shape like other cartoon cars?
Bet says:
well, yeah, with help from the cartoon insurers.
Mr M says:
Oh, I see.
Bet says:
do you KNOW how many times toon mutual has had to pop anvil dents out of wile e's car?
Mr M says:
Yeah, I bet.
Bet says:
you're not, but it's amazing.

We're a regular Algonquin Round Table. And no, I don't captilize when I chat. So there.

Risen Christ Jesus riding Siberian antelope.

Rickshaws careening judiciously 'round southern Asia.

Redhaired clowns juggling real silver artifacts.


And Landscape with Potted Meat is just about the most artistic recipe ever!

Raging cheetahs, jumpy rhinos -- schizophrenic animals.

Royal Canadian Jesuits -- red sashes, Amen.

Rioting Chinese junkies, requiring some amphetamines.
