To start off, no self respecting Lego geek with two hundred and seventy million dollars would buy two million sets of Lego Mindstorms.
*Collapses with laughter*
This reminds me of that scene with the twelve year old from The Big Lebowski:
"This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass! This is what happens!"
I walk about thirty-five blocks either to work or from work every day--and sometimes both. It works really well and has brought my waist down to 28 inches (from 36). Well, that and better eating habits. If you eat less junk, you don't have to work out more.
At first this was just a way to avoid getting on crowded subways, but soon I realized that it really was a workout, without too much sweat or membership fees.
I really reccommend it. When I first started, it took me about forty-five minutes to get to work. Now it's more like thirty. Power walk!
. . . of blue jumpsuited Flooz people standing at my subway stop, screaming, "Flooz is money! Have some Flooz!"
Okay, not the weirdest e-marketing promotion, but still . . . It did not inspire confidence.
Is this some kind of perverse Onion article gone legit?
Maybe CNN could do a "Not All Old People are Angry Can-Wielding Geezers" article and see how well that goes over with the mass audience.
Grr.
When you consider that SPAM has been manufactured since World War II--probably one of the few items from that era that you can find in a 24-hr convenience store (barring, say, pocket combs, nail clippers, and chewing gum)--it's *almost* understandable that Hormel would just now be waking up to the fact that their product is being maligned.
Someone should tell them that we won the war, also.

Perhaps we can now conduct posthumous interviews through other time-tested techniques, such as automatic writing, and the Ouijja board.
