Ick--sorry about the double-post. Actually, I have this fear that it might
be a triple-post before the day is done--my e-mail is kind of on crack.

To make this e-mail a little more worth your while . . .
"It's nice to be nice to the nice"=
1) It's good (friendly) to be friendly to friendly (good) people.
2) It's good (friendly) to be friendly to stupid people.
3) It's stupid to be friendly to stupid people.
4) It's stupid to be friendly to friendly (good) people. (?)

hmm . . .

I am looking at this bizarro AOL promotion. It's a little feature story
about bad music, and at the bottom it tells you that you, too, can "Listen
and Buy Terrible Tunes." HUH?! I want to do that . . . why?

Choose from such tantalizing categories as "Shameful Singing Actors," "The
10 Worst No. 1 Hits," "Please Forgive them," "Born to be Bad, Once," and
"How Bout Some Good Music?"

Who is the marketing genius who came up with that promotion? I mean, has
popular culture gotten that bad? Do they not even have to pretend to be
selling good music anymore?

<sigh>
I guess not. OK, I'm _really_ weirded out, now.

This will teach me not to quote Frank Burns.
