Did You Know 3.0?

This will probably blow your mind (unless you saw it already).

Maple Syrup.

This is why I like my new company and will continue to like maple syrup. In email from today, I was delighted to read...

"Each year at this time I take orders for maple syrup. The syrup comes from the Stienagel Farm near my hometown of Wausau, Wisconsin and the farmer delivers it directly to QBP. QBP employees have become the farmer's largest customer base since I started doing this 20 years ago.

If you want to know more about the quality of the syrup, ask around. It won't take long to find someone who has ordered syrup.

Details: 1 Quart- $11
1/2 gallon- $18
You can order as many bottles of syrup as you can use, but you have to order in advance. Occassionally the farmer has extra bottles, but not enough to depend on. Send me an email with the number and size of bottles. I'll pull together a total and give it to the farmer."

And before you get ideas about me hauling syrup to you - how will I accomplish this before summertime? You don't want a big jug of syrup in the heat of the summer.

Tum Rup Thai.

A small, but powerfully compact Thai restaurant by my house offers a different take on the normal martini - I give you the "Thai-Rone". Please read what's in the drink... you'll get it.

Results, Poll #54, Spending.

So, it looks like I have at least one t.c reader that has a large trust fund - please come forward... just tell me... I need an expensive operation on my dorsimus muscle - will you help me with a check made out to "Cash"?

The results are as follows:
- 0 people (0%) chose 'yes, drastically' - well, aren't we the optometrists.
- 4 people (40%) chose 'some' - this might be better than selling all your psoessions and moving to Alaska. Might.
- 3 people (30%) chose 'a little' - This is less than some, so maybe you're not too worried about your job, or your monthly payments, or your spouses job, or your parent's retirement fund (who do you think's going to support them?).
- 2 people (20%) chose 'not really' - Golly, you don't give a sweet God damn, do you!?! Must be nice.
- 1 person (10%) chose 'no, i have a HUGE trustfund' - nice try, you're lying. And if you did have a trustfund, you'd be shitting your pants b/c it lost over half its value in the last 12 months. Shitting.

New poll up as soon as possible... keep an eye out for it!

My generation? Your generation?
