109A. Heck, I've got that tattooed on my back just below my
shoulder blade.

Are you still mad because a dozen of us "ganged up" on you to prove
that "Prime Rib" does not mean it's USDA Prime? Even Sheldon agreed
you were wrong - and that's pretty bad when you know less than
Sheldon.

I know being wrong is a tough pill for you to swallow - It's called
narcissism. Deal with it.

The Neiman-Marcus cookie story is an Urban Legend as is the Red Velvet
cake There IS a Red Velvet cake and it does contain an entire bottle
of red food coloring, but the story about the recipe costing a small
fortune is not true.

I used to work with a gal who believed every dumbassed urban legend
she'd ever heard. She came in all hot under the collar one morning and
announced that she'd just dumped every container of cleaning product in
her home down the drain because they said on Oprah that Proctor and
Gamble promoted satanism. And she had typed up a petition that she
wanted everybody to sign to boycott the company.

I asked her if she'd seen that episode of Oprah. (I knew she hadn't
because we'd have both been at work during its air time)

"Well, no, but my neighbor did and she told me about it."

"Huh. *She* saw it, or somebody told her about it?"

"Um. I'm not sure."

"When was this?"

"Just last week! The guy, the president of the company, said he could
do anything he wanted and people would just keep buying his stuff.
Well, I'm sure not!"

"You know, I read the paper. I read it every single day, you've seen me
on break and at lunch, right?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, it seems to me that something like that would be considered kinda
newsworthy..."

"Werrlll, no, maybe not."

"Margie. It makes the paper when Oprah changes her hairstyle."

"Ohhh, you just think you're soooo smart!"

"You bring me anything in writing that confirms this rumor and I will
pucker up and kiss your big white ass in front of the whole department."

"Well, I just will. You wait and see. You're gonna be sorry."

"How much do you figure it's going to cost to replace the dish soap,
bleach, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent and fabric softener you
poured down the drain? Puts kind of a big ding in the old weekly
budget, I'd imagine. I bet Chip is going to be thrilled."

And I actually was sorry. Baiting morons is no sport at all, like
shooting fish in a barrel.

It's true! I read it! What's true? That people are spreading this
rumor, and have been since the 1980s. From Snopes:

Unfortunately most people don't know the difference.

This is why they need to tune into Usenet for a decade - to learn to
know the difference (and accept the things they cannot change).

Do you know how many lives RFC has saved?

Probably lots.

It wasn't Ross Park Mall back then - it was Schramms Farm. But yeah
- Ross Park Mall was just at the top of the hill behind our house.
I lived there from 1967-1984. Haven't been back for 2-3 years now.
