Red Fusion Dr. Pepper is the best thing since... well... Dr. Pepper. We saw it at Safeway this week when we went shopping and I picked up a 2 liter bottle of it for $0.99. I was not going to buy a 12 pack of it like I did with Vanilla Coke, only to be let down and stuck with 11 cans I don't want to drink. So after consuming both liters in the bottle, I can say it is my new favorite beverage. Strange how it doesn't follow the normal "Pepsi makes a red version of a softdrink and it haunts me" path.

1. Pepsi releases red version of non-red beverage. In this case I will use Mt. Dew as an example. I'm sure most everyone has seen or tried "Code Red Mt. Dew." I am sure "Code Red" is named such because it makes to run for the nearest toilet as soon as you drink it.

2. I try new redified version of non-red beverage and hate it. Again, with "Code Red Mt. Dew," I tried it, hated it, and will never drink it again. To be fair though, I was not a big Mt. Dew fan in the first place.

3. One month after I decide I hate new redified version of non-red beverage it starts to haunt me. Like when 7-11 decided to make a Slurpee® version of it. Not only that, they decide to start mixing in all kinds of fruit flavors that totally change the color, but they still call it "Code Red" in an effort to sucker people into buying it. Of course, on top of all that they have to have some WWF guy endorsing it, but that is another rant.

Anyway, the point is, Red Fusion is not like your normal redified version of a non-red beverage. It is actually very tasty and not as harsh as normal Dr. Pepper. Which means you can drink it like normal if it happens to not be super cold.

The company I currently work for, is just about at the end of its rope. We are over a million dollars in debt with no real chance of digging out. So, I get to look for another job quietly, in hopes that my current employer doesn't find out and lay me off right away.

However, I had a meeting with a placement company today and could get a 5+ month contract working a Help Desk for Starbucks. How splended it would be to work for a company with an anual profit.

My fingers are crossed.

Dear Mr. Idol

We look forward to seeing you in a little more then 2 hours. Please put on a good show for us and play good songs. Oh, and if you can use your godly powers to make sure it doesn't rain until we are back at home, that would be great too.

Love,
Shawn and Erin

In an attempt to force Google and other search engines to index my company's web site, I am going to link to it.

Right. The link is Puget Sound Services.

In the end Tie Domi couldn't leave the town that's so close to his heart.

The enforcer has decided to stay in Hogtown, signing a multi-year deal with the Maple Leafs. Terms were not announced by the team but the contract is worth between $5 and $6 million (all figures U.S.) according to Leafs assistant to the president Bill Watters.

"You use your imagination at times like this and I just couldn't envision myself wearing any other sweater," Domi said.

Too bad CuJo didn't feel the same...

Yay, new look for the site.

Boo, still not much to talk about.

Neighbors, nobody loves you like we do. Neighbors, your government has triumphed in finally making you a public fit for the 21st century. Never before has a governing body shown so much concern for the economic well-being of its subjects. Today we have insulated you from countless factions who threaten your financial viability; such as the poor; the idealistic foreigners still clinging to their childish notions of social welfare; why, you're even kept uninformed of useless propagandist journalism that reports alleged violations of human rights (we all know they wouldn't have been punished if they hadn't been doing something wrong). And who better to dispense such blatantly evident factoids but a self-appointed authority like myself?

Acid Rain is a thing of the past.... too many possible causes, too little significance for our modern thinking public, besides industrial manufacturing is at an all-time low anyway, who needs those narrow minded laborers, too many mouths to feed, and too much burden on the payroll. Who needs 'em here in the land of the free time. Some other ass-backward country will give us what we need by exploiting its uneducated children anyway.

The Internet has expanded our ability to pacify average Americans better than ever by offering fantastical adventures to every corner of the imagination. Your home office is the window to your world, and the heart of your social life. Such reclusive behavior helps clear the roads and public works from overburden like the lower middle class and others who depend shamelessly on their government. Today you are freer than ever to do what you want, provided you can pay for it!

Remember, the first word in USA is US!
We have arrived, neighbors, we are the privileged elite
