Here is why Dispatch features an extra helping of suck this month.
Off-Road Games
Yet again, on our quest to find other things to do than to actually work, we stumbled upon www.rcade.com, a "game channel" that has everything from the too-trendy Texas Hold 'Em to the old-farty backgammon. But, as usual, we got sucked deep into the driving-game category, which includes "SUV Off-Road Challenge" and "Baja Buggy."
What happens when you take a Sikorsky helicopter, seven skydivers, and one Commander? The wackiest NBC sitcom yet! That Jeep--it's one wild-and-crazy neighbor! Or we guess it also could be the dramatic holiday kickoff of Operation Gratitude, a non-profit organization that sends care packages to U.S. troops around the world. Jeep says you can make donations at dealerships. Suggested items? CDs, DVDs, gum, and--we swear--tuna-salad kits. A complete list of needed items can be found at www.operationgratitude.com.

Which Jeep the Employees Want
DaimlerChrysler worker bees were cornered on their lunch hour and forced to tell suits which Jeep concept they'd like to park in their garages. The winner? The Patriot. The Gladiator came in second, followed by the Compass, then the Hurricane. We guess they hold their tea parties in their garages too.
