this kid is off to a strong start. but will he be able to post about the other topics byob likes besides fruit salads? this poster thinks he has a strong chance.

Believe me. My rage may be fruit salad-based, but evil finds its way into many other small town issues. I'm on a mission like no other to fight for the freedom of fruit enthusiasts everywhere.

In Paris they don't even let any grocery stores be there, and everybody just doesn't eat. thats why they're so thin.

Okay here's one. I'll do more but I'm not at a good computer for image work so it's slow.

This guy was the chef at $RESTAURANT_1 who was well known (at least among people I hang out with) for not washing his hands after using the bathroom. He ragequit and started his own restaurant, which went out of business a few months later.

This poor soul, who struggles to make ends meet with a measly income of under $50,000 a year, is glad to have the opportunity to pay $20 for a fruit salad.

Every time a new Walmart opens here there's a grassroots campaign to block the opening of the Walmart, but then the Walmart eventually opens anyway it just takes an extra 3-4 years of bullshit.

I for one do not shop at Walmart, but man, talk about pointless. Clearly there's a demand for Walmarts, because they keep opening and staying open.

It seems to me like you don't understand the principle of buying fruit salad. I for one, believe that it is my God given right to have a fruit salad that is affordable for what I'm getting. No one should be put through the torment of buying a decently-sized fruit salad for well over its actual worth.

Hello there. I am Reagan, the boy who sent the "Fruit Salad letter" to the L.A. Daily Post today. I'm here to introduce myself properly. It is my life's work to expose the injustices of the fruit world, and my recent adventure regarding a pricey fruit salad has sparked a revolution in the making. Some say I'm a troll, others have called me a woman. I am in fact the bearer of male genitalia, and this will be my finest hour. Any fruit salad/fruit inquiries you have I will answer. And if you wish to support the cause you can go to http://www.fruitsaladyummyyummy.net (don't go there, it isn't my actual official area of work). If we unite as Americans, the fruit salad debacle may actually come to an end.

I mean, I can understand this miserly outlook if you're having to pay $20.40 for fruit salad!

Turns out, a lot of the rage was around the nutball guitar teacher's letter to the editor last week, and previous letters to the editor, which this forum doesn't have the attention span for (and I don't want to redact).

Does an forum have the attention span for that, cruft?

No.

What is important here is the outrageous price of fruit salad here.

As someone employed in the food service industry, these rising food prices are a great concern to me, and we should all think about writing to our Congressmen re: the state of American agriculture and importation of foodstuffs.

I was more sure about this kid than I was about the poetry/art thread last week. Smofoable's letter showed every sign of him being a top-shelf BYOB poster.
