[QUOTE=EddyTeddyFreddy] Fine. You come up with a potato that bakes, splits, butters, sour-creams and bacon-bits itself and maybe I’ll give up the quick convenience of the banana. [/QUOTE] You know someone working in veggie R&D is solving that problem right now. Once he’s done, he can go to work on strawberries that grow with a nice chocolate-flavored coating. One can dream, right? Robin ---

[/QUOTE] Mitch Hedburg used to say that it took so long to bake a potato that he’d throw one into the oven every once in a while because, hey, you never know, by the time it’s done I might want one. ---

[QUOTE=TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW] Get me a WHOPPER! The last time one of those came on - last night, before I wrote this thread - I picked up the plate I had been eating dinner on and smashed it against the wall, then had a full panic attack. I felt like my mind had been raped. [/QUOTE] One word for you. TiVo. And possibly some nice cozy Valium tablets. ---

You know how you seriously considered voluntarily admitting yourself to a mental institution? Have you re-considered lately? 😃 Surely to God you have something better to occupy your time with…although I don’t promote the abuse of customer service reps either. They are a minority population with feelings and rights like everyone else in this country. They need their own political party. Here’s a logo for them: F.U.C.K.D. - For a Utopia of Customer Service Klerks who Don’t spell very well. ---

In the OP’s defense, I don’t like the commerical in question either. All I could think the first time I saw it was “Jesus Christ, Ladies, isn’t an occasional blood test a small price to pay for reliable birth control?” There are millennias worth of women who would have **wished** all they needed was a blood test and a pill to keep from being knocked up.
