   Effie? This is considered a name? Seriously?
   …
   I mean, what’s that supposed to be short for? How many girls do you know who have names that could be shortened to “Effie”?
   …
   Oy.

   Regardless of whether of not “Effie” is a multi-chennel radio system, I’d still be concerned if I was Betty. Just how deeply does Scott’s relationship with Effie run? I’m not suggesting anything erogenous here, but an obsession with technology is only one of the many “golden calves” that can lead a young man’s attention away from his sweetheart. Just ask my wife.

   Also, don’t date someone who doesn’t know that a “multi-channel radio system” and a record turntable are two different things.

   This PSA was about volunteering?!?!

   I thought it was about how how this woman was so insecure in her relationship and untrusting of her boyfriend that she bascially accusses him of cheating on her whenever she can, and that you shouldn’t want to be her.

   I think her boyfriend needs to step back a few paces because there is a definite battleship in her future.

   Finally….OMG! “EFFIE”, because it short of efficient?Those are some lame engineers. In true engineering form, it probably would have been named MUCRS(MUlti Channel Radio System) :-)

   Or BSPPDv1960 (BattleShip Plot Producing Device v1960)
