wednesday stuff to chew on, whist you eat!
BOYCOTT CARLS JR!!!
hi there! heres a lil snippet!!
and then try this!
Today is Towel Day, the made-up non-holiday observed by only the most desperate passionate nerds fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. To celebrate, all you've got to do is carry a towel around with you all day, as per the guide's recommendations. Says the guide:
For some reason, if a strag (non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Carrying a towel around today lends you slightly more geek cred than your socially inept friends who spent last week wearing Jedi robes, because only the book describes the importance of fresh linens to the galactic pilgrim; such references were cut from the current film, despite Mos Def's continual clutching of such prop throughout the flick. Then again, if the inexplicable presence of a towel was the only part of the movie that made no sense, you simply weren't high enough.
The 25th of May has no actual significance to the book or its author, except that it's two weeks after Douglas Adams's untimely death in 2001, which is how long it took the stoned fanboys who thunk it up to convince fellow nerds to carry a towel around.
Also today: President Bush will welcome Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to the White House to discuss the War on Terror�, the Tsunami�, and the cataclysmic consequences of unchecked liberalism in the media (*ahem*, Newsweek, *cough*). Expect hours of hilarious late-night talk-show laughs at the expense of the president's misunderpronunciation of "Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono." And now you're going to be silently repeating that to yourself all day long. Bambang!

Dear Carls jr.
your commercials are degrading, you hamboogers suck like rubber, and creates acid indegestion, and heartburn. paris hilton is a high priced whore, and the FCC will fine you a few hundred thousand bucks for airing that trash. and if you continue to degrade men, i will file a class action against you for libel. and tell your refugee employees that in the USA, we wash our hands with SOAP AND HOT WATER after we wipe our ass. its tradition! and if you insist on employing refugees, its up to you to teach these mongrels the fine art of hand washing in food handling establishments.

Dear west coast supermarket chain,
please encourage your lowly paid checkers that when a customer spends over $100.00 in united states currency, and requests that you place the paid for groceries in PAPER bags, and double them, they MUST perform that request. and dont lie and say "we dont have any".
