Gah. The corporate-speak vocabulary obliterates any sincerity that may have been been in that letter when it was conceived. It reads like nothing more than "damage control".

Ha! That stuff isn't any more "fattening" than a #1 combo, large-sized, from any fast food joint. Hell the most unhealthful food mentioned in that whole post was probably the Pepsi.

If your doctor won't give you a B12 shot tell him to shove it up his ass, and get a new doctor. It's not like you're asking him to write you a 'script for 300 oxycotin tabs. The control-freakish nature of many medical professionals astound

Nope, still nothing around that even vaguely competes with the iPod touch. 3,427 announcements of amazing freakin' devices sure to be released any day now! The only market with more vaporware is alternative-fuel vehicles.

I think the fact that you'd need a natural gas pipeline, or a propane tank out back, kind of negates the "disconnected from the grid" thingy. Also, where does one get the energy to heat the magic box to 1800 F?

I love Jacob's Ladder to death, despite the fact that it once gave me vivid nightmares. Or maybe because of that. But the ending really sucks. The last minute of the film just fucks the whole thing up by being so simplistic--in a sense it

Did you go to university in the '70s pr something? All that's "expected" of students anymore is a pulse, AFAICT.
