"Look, we want you to express yourself, OK? If you think the bare minimum is enough, then OK. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, OK? You do want to express yourself, don't you?"

That's been around for a while. I actually sent that to a company about 8 years ago when I was job hunting and got turned down. Word got back to me that there was concern that I might be unstable. Really set HR back on its heels, I guess. Some people have no sense of humor.

Uh-oh. Someday you'll tell me you told me so and I'll have no idea what you're talking about.

Completely undeserved, IMO. You know who made impact? RCA and Columbia House. Fifteen albums for a penny! And I could listen to them anywhere.

Wait, wait, don't tell me. That's satire, right?

Moose bites can be pretty nasty, you know.

Honest, honey, I only get Gizmodo for the articles!

Ack! The Mark of the Beast!!!

Though they are notorious for eating all kinds of inedible stuff, I'm not sure even a shark can stomach a diet of LMFAO.

Homemade government cheese. The taste of poverty without the poverty.

Did she want fries with that?

Here's hoping the optimism is warranted. That's the kind of smart bombs we should be dropping.

You nailed it. Drink what you like and save the money. I totally respect that. However, we're opposites. I think Barefoot is swill. Go figure... Hey, if you like red blends (and have any faith in my palette at this point!) try "Hot to Trot" by 14 Hands. It's a little more expensive, but it's good stuff.

Why no love for Charles Shaw? It's actually pretty good wine. And it's an exceptional bargain. It isn't GREAT, but it's very drinkable. There's nothing in its price range that even comes close. Going under $10/bottle is risky, much less going under $5! Three Buck Chucks (inflation, you know) rocks!

"Now that's what I call high quality H2O."

I would love the ability to switch between alternate tunings. I would also enjoy it keeping the strings in tune. But tuning each note as I play... no thanks. Seems to me that would take away a lot of the organic differences that make a player's overall tone. And tone is where it's at. Pitch is great. But tone is king.

Heartfelt thanks.

My mother is in the beginning stages of dementia. I've wondered what it must feel like. I can't imagine. I don't want to thank you for this glimpse into that nightmare. But, thank you for this glimpse.

I would have thought the same thing. But, I know lots of people that go there knowing full well they'll regret it sooner than later. It's like a form of self-abuse. I haven't eaten there in many years, even when we stop for others.

Yes, it's most likely the oils. But, if I have to change my order because eating somewhere makes me sick, it does make me wonder if I should be eating there at all.
