Chocolate-covered crazy

Aug 10, 2006 16:48

Zoloft 150, down from 200, day 3: Mostly sort of limp and sleepy. Not sad, not really hot-and-cold flashy like I have been the rest of the week; less dizzy. Had a twenty-minute swim, which was nice. And just in time, because it looks like it's going to rain (again ( Read more... )

chocolate, depression, asshaberdashery, lord of the rings

The OutsidePride thing is true - One of my F-list members is an avid gardener and a customer.

And the best part is that "Outside Pride" sounds very, very gay.

Also speaking of chocolate, due to the popularity of the 'Dark Side' dark chocolate M&Ms marketed around the release of Star Wars Episode III, the M&M/Mars company has made them a permanent addition:

This makes me very happy, because when the Star Wars ones were on the market, I was never able to find them (and I looked several different places). But I have picked up a bag of the new dark chocolate M&Ms, and they're like small pieces of heaven.

Truly better than the White Chocolate PotC ones, although I must say they looked very pretty when I put them in a vase along with the jewel-colored ones and giant golden peanut ones, and pretended I had delicious pirate treasure.

WHAT.

Is this an only in the US thing? Because I shall be very, very angry if it is. They got me hooked on those last time around, and now I CRAVE THEM LIKE MAD THINGS.

Many others seem to have received the alleged Troy Hake email. The company sells lawn products. It's kind of incredible that the owner would use his company newsletter to promote his politics. I'm just...wow.

cleolinda August 11 2006, 00:50:11 UTC

See, I believe that people received the email. What I'm wondering is if it wasn't--like, someone in the company misusing the mailing list without permission, as it were. Because it *is* pretty incredible that they would randomly use the list to spout off something like that.

particle_person August 11 2006, 01:01:18 UTC

Yeah, it could have been hacked. The thing is, I haven't seen anything like an official response on the site. There's no reference to the newsletter at all, expect a place for you to sign up. Also, where is the regular media response? I keep expecting to see that, but so far there's nothing.

particle_person August 11 2006, 01:33:01 UTC

Okay, this blogger claims to have called the company and confirmed that the email came from them officially. There's a number you can call -- toll-free, 877-255-8470. Might try tomorrow.

Re the Billy Boyd situation. I have to sadly say that this is mild as compared to some of the stuff and fans I have had to deal with during my time with fans both as part of the convention and as a handler for various people and just hanging around with friends who happen to be guests of the conventions. Billy went above and beyond dealing with this nut case so I give him major kudos for that. I just wish that fandom wasn't so crazed at times.

cleolinda August 11 2006, 00:50:57 UTC

People scare me. Really.

puppetmaker40 August 11 2006, 01:52:38 UTC

I have to say that for the most part fans are just fine and most fans are fun to deal with. It (like any group) is the few who haven't learned how to act in public that make it hard for the rest of the group.
