But this time it is in her brand of blender. Read the Consumer
reports review.

The Bon Appétit blender didn't deliver on frozen drinks. But far worse
was Sandra Lee's blender. It could barely crush ice, and there were
whole ice cubes left in the piña coladas! Sandra Lee's blender had the
lowest overall score out of every tested model.

Another post detailing the worst options on the market. Just what we need.

I think it was about enjoying dissing Sandra Lee more than about the
product. What's funny is how many folks have posted here over the past
several years whose practices are no better than Ms. Lee's. Maybe funny
is the wrong word.

I'm sure that many of you will be happy to know that my infrequency of
posting here is going to continue for a good long while, as I'm engaged
in a creative writing project, a novella that I hope will somehow develop
into a novel. I've shared excerpts with folks I know and trust in the
real world, and have gotten glowing feedback. What I posted on Facebook was:
"After the breakup of The Bonobos, I felt devastated, not personally, but artistically. I was depressed, again, not so much as a person, but as an artist," and that was accurate. For decades, my wife, a librarian, has been
encouraging me to write, and I resisted putting my wordsmithy into fiction.

Then, about two weeks ago, the inhibitions fell away in much the same way as
my band reluctance did, but this time is different because I always knew
that my anger was unsaleable, and my vocal talents would have limited appeal.
I don't--as Mr. Kuthe would contend--have delusions of grandeur. This is my
new work, and it may well end in failure, but I have to try.

Usenet ****ing rocks, and perhaps I will post here occasionally, but if I do
I will be cheating. I feel wistful writing this, and even apologetic for my
abraisiveness, but my writing is going to a nicer place. I've never been fond of Winter, but I'll forever be enthralled with what this one has given me.

Goodbye.

I don't believe I ever said "delusions of grandeur". I said obsessive
and egocentric.

Have fun with yourself. You are with your favorite person: YOU!

That's a pretty pitiful review. I'll bet Sears and Kmart keep it on
their shelves, though.

I'll have to look. Did they have customer reviews? I'm not in the
market for a blender so I might not specifically look, depends on if I
have time; I'm just curious at this point.

Do you recommend execution? By extension, should everybody who markets schlock
merchandise get the same treatment?
