Well, somebody is a little insane now, aren’t they…

Details to follow… or not…

Though I can find nothing about them at lays.com or fritolay.com, I recently found Lay’s potato chips that are touted as natural, and upon checking the ingredients it seems there are only three: potatoes, expeller-pressed sunflower oil, and sea salt. Now, the true health concious amoung us will not be surprised by this, most ‘real’ natural or organic foods have few ingredients. Sea salt is better than that crappy plain old salt many people and products use, and expeller-pressed is the way to go if you’ve got to use oil. but what about the potatoes? They aren’t certified organic potatoes, but you know what, it’s a start…

Finding an almost all-natural product from a major brand name is a good thing. It wasn’t the case 10 years ago, it probably wasn’t even the case 5 years ago. It’s a nice surprise, and one I hope more large food companies provide.

I should also mention Full Circle (owned by Topco) which is like the generic-equivalent of natural and organic foods, available in your supermarket today (if you’re lucky…)

I don’t have a whole lot to say about The War®, but I will say this…

If this planet doesn’t get it together and join forces, it doesn’t matter what color your skin is, or what country you live in, or what your beliefs are, we’ll all be slaving away in the salt mines for our alien overlords.

People, we must prepare! Will you stand by my side and fight against the aliens? It’s only a matter of time. The impending invasion grows nearer everyday. It’s happened before, and it’ll happen again, only this time all the citizens of planet Earth will be the victims…

Either that or those damn dirty apes will take over while we’re busy fighting each other. Generally speaking, ape does not kill ape.

This has been a public service annoucement brought to you by Citizens Against Slavery to Alien Overlords… and/or Apes.

I was trying to figure out why I was so tired and having a hard time staying awake. Could it be staring at SQL code within perl code all day? I noticed that Meteorologist said it was 72 degrees, definitely time to stop staring at the monitor and go outside. A quick jaunt outdoors and one time around the block should wake things up. It’s weird to see big piles of snow outside after Meteorologist tells you it’s in the 70’s, but we just ignored the snow, sure it would disappear soon enough. As we got back inside, we noticed that it was warm, really warm. We hadn’t noticed this before. We then noticed that the wall thermometer indicated it was roughly 78 degrees in the office. Very uncool. In fact, the opposite of cool, it was warm! So here we sit, sweating… staring at code again… and trying to stay awake…

sigh…
