In the local news this morning:
quote:
Dear Editor,
Me and my friends were at the grand opening of the new Smith's recently. We waited in line for only about 30 minutes, and we were pleasantly surprised by the grandeur of the new shopping center.
Every improvement that could've been made over the old Smith's had been made. We spent the better of three hours there just looking at all the new items they had in stock when my eyes fell upon the most beautiful fruit salad I had ever seen. All sorts of goodies (apples. grapes, peaches, etc.) tucked inside of a nutritious but delicious melon bowl.
I was ready to buy this fruit salad with my meager earnings, and I could tell my friends were excited for me to share it with them. I picked up the tasty treat and eyed the price tag, expecting something decently cheap, but boy howdy was I surprised. The fruit salad was $20.40! Twenty dollars! I was not ready to spend all of my money on a measly fruit salad, regardless of its physical appeal.
I left Smith's dissatisfied that day, but part of me yearned for that fruit salad. I eventually returned to buy that fruit salad, but lo and behold, it wasn't there. Someone had actually bought that twenty dollar fruit salad before me.
Now my question for you is who in their right mind would actually pick up a twenty dollar fruit salad at first glance and not have a single contemplation about the high price of such an item. It's downright blasphemy I say, and I will not be giving any of my business to Smith's until I see that fruit salad back in the fruit salad section.

A salient question, maybe it was a 15-pound fruit salad.

fruit salad is more of a desert. Anyway he said share it with friends so i'm picturing it in a watermelon. Also he's both angry it's spendy and angry he couldn't spend on it. Hypocrisy! I hope he never gets another fruit salad again, or of he does it's a tiny delmonte 4 oz cup!

So did everybody on the roller derby team. Don't worry.
Turns out it was a 15-year old boy.
Gonna poll some contacts and see if I can get him to post in BYOB. Fingers crossed.

byob needs your teens. if you see a teen, send it to byob. a modest commitment of just one teen a month could keep the byob forum relevant and active for years to come.

I mean he trolled the entire town with a joke letter. People are still flaming each other about it on Facebook. Seems like BYOB material to me 
he does to me too which is why i'm promoting the idea of promoting byob to teens.

just got this:
quote:
Okay he said sure. Or as he put it "Hey. I saw your email and I would love to do this. Tell your teacher I'm in and I'll be glad to be a part of the ever expanding fruit universe." He just wants to know when he starts and what he needs to do exactly. So when you get this e-Mail me back.
So it is happening. I bought an account cert and got a receipt in my email, where's the cert supposed to show up?
