Soundbites From the Edge

Wikipedia: Soundbite: Characterized by a short phrase or sentence that deftly captures the essence of what the speaker is trying to say. Such key moments in dialogue (or monologue) stand out better in the audience's memory and thus become the "taste" that best represents the entire "meal" of the larger message or conversation. Sound bites are a natural consequence of people placing ever greater emphasis on summarizing ever-increasing amounts of information in their lives. Welcome.

Spam award

I don't even know why I opened this spamish looking email but I did and there was a sweet reward! A pharmaceutical advertisement with a poem to boot!The email simply read:


****
Levitra
Valium
Xanax
Ambien
Cialis
Prozac
Viagra

Where the kine and oxen feed!
Back to gardens on the hills
Where the berry swells and fills
Under sunlight, under day!
South away! and South away!
Down the swift dark stream you go

*******

Is this poem meant to lure me into popping these pills so I can slip away down the "swift dark stream to where the kine and oxen feed?" I don't think so! Keep your pharmaceuticals to yourself! That's all we need here in Bedlam… Mamma treading water in some narcotic stream whilst the wee three are cavorting! I'll stick to my simple 5pm Pinot Noir treatments

thank you very much.
