Anybody looking for a new job, and a change of scenery? Wouldn't normally recommend a retail job, but this may be the ultimate one.

The continued saga of James Buck, the American journalism student who got himself freed from an Egyptian jail using Twitter. Now he's using microblogging in an effort to free the young Egyptian man who was acting as his translator.
"Hello, Sysco? Yeah, this is store #3775... Yeah, that one. Good morning!... No, no, it's night here.... Yeah, always night... That's right, another 5 weeks... Yeah, we're counting too. Um, so, we'll need 75 more boxes of Swiss Miss... Yeah, 75... And 50 units of the Apple Cider... Uh-huh... No. Well, I think we're doing alright on Otter Pops at the moment... Yeah, its not our fastest mover. Ok, that's it... Yup, second day air drop, as usual... Bokay. Thanks. You have a good one too... Yeah, keep warm, heh... Bye bye."
haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet, zach, but i did notice this quote:
"Herzog takes Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and gives it existential balls." —Mike Plante, writing at Filmmaker Magazine blog
I really liked this excerpt from the Pegasus Cookbook:
"It will be tempting for those who savor the Supreme Pizza Sandwich to use two Tony's frozen Supreme Pizzas, rather than one Cheese and one Supreme.
This would be to ignite chaos.
Chef Orbwash claims that using even this small improvisation is to deny the nature of the Tony's Supreme Pizza, for if the frozen pizza is Supreme, it cannot by definition get any better. To arrogantly stack Supreme pizzas one on top of another willy-nilly is to play God, or worse, to play Tony. You are not Tony, and don't forget it. When Tony alters the Supremeness of his pizzas, then we can reevaluate the situation but, until then, we must use one Cheese pizza in the sandwich, lest Tony's wrath emerge from the heavens like a thousand poison serpents and smite us.
"
i'm amazed that supreme pizzas haven't been supplanted by extreme pizzas already.
I don't know if Tony would be pleased with your thinking.
Like the man said, it's not up to us. When Tony decides to make his pizzas extreme, then it's on us to adjust our perceptions and world views accordingly. Until then, as always, we accept what Tony provides.
i repent for questioning tony. please forgive me. i wasn't expecting the spanish italian inquisition
Dude...NO ONE expects the Italian Inquisiton!
...sorry that took so long.
