The Truth

[snork]

Why do you think the truth frightens and angers people? Sometimes just stating a simple fact, an innocuous reality, provokes such bizarre behavior.

In a galaxy far far away a discussion was taking place about the recent Aroma DIY WTA sale and a couple people were commenting on their belief that it was too expensive @ $35, and someone (probably inadvertently) insinuated that could be the result of an artificially created short supply.

Now, as someone who knows the truth about both of these topics I thought it best to pop in and set the record straight, that the sale price was $30, you could get a code discount, and that in the future it might be best to show up on time and do a little website stalking to increase the chance to get some. True?

I never got a chance to address the supply issue before my first post was deleted. ECF can be a very manipulated reality.

I think eggs are too expensive. Eggs should be cheaper. But when I went to the store they were sold out. And don't give me any of that 'show up earlier and bring a coupon' crap. The real problem is that the chickens are intentionally manipulating the market by not laying enough eggs. I should be able to go to the store whenever I want and get cheap eggs.

Funny you use that example.
In my 33 years doing what I do for a living I've had to explain the ups and downs of agricultural commodities to irate people hundreds if not thousands of times. I enjoy it and am good at it. My OP has nothing to do with people wanting what they want and talking about it, my issue is that my post was deleted. I was not rude or out of line in *any* way.

What have I told you about wandering out into the wilds of ECF.

 

[snork]

Yeah, well that's why I'm posting this here. I'm sure this will be deleted too eventually, *and rightfully so*.

The heck with egg prices! Have any of you bought underwear lately? Now that's highway robbery. Not to mention that I think the eight year olds sewing them together are purposely working slow to cause a shortage.

That's why I have underwear that looks like swiss cheese. I can always wear it one more time. The new stuff has bad labeling also. The sizes are all wrong. The new stuff is too small. The same size I always wore is now way too tight.

Last chicken I had that quit laying got invited to dinner.

You're right about everything being too small, and it doesn't matter how big of a size you get. If it isn't too small to begin with it'll shrink to get that way.

I've got stuff that has shrunk in my closet. As far as I know there's no hot water in there. I'm not sure what happened.

HEY, I resemble that remark!

First off its probably not shrinking your probably getting bigger. 2nd you have to remember that since its child labor everything looks larger to them

 

[hittman]

I'm gonna stick with the shrinking clothes theory. It'll fit right in with other theories like the one about the magic bullet.

 

[snork]

I can verify that it's not you. I weigh the same as when I was 16. My underwear still get smaller as time goes by.

 

[hittman]

Now that's pretty amazing snork. I Guess my first question would be if you weigh the same then is it in the same places?

Almost. I've lost a lot of weight in hair so it must be someplace else.

That reminds me that I need a haircut.

I am so sorry but I just couldn't resist!:

I thought a lot about that when I made my post. That scene is probably my favorite scene out of any movie ever made. Riveting. And in my fantasies I'm always Nicholson, never Cruise.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!​

I understand the seriousness, that is why I apologized. I was thinking of that scene though while reading this, lol.
