go back to maingo to old version
Also, for some reason, I never noticed that it was Sun-Maid before (as opposed to "made", which I thought was the intended meaning). I guess I always read it as a single entity. I recall remarking to someone during our search for a business name that you read a lot of prominent names without considering the meaning of the component words anymore. This seems to be yet another case of that for me.

Sorry, guys, can't make it. Have fun. In my stead, I give you a tangible example of what has become known as the uncanny valley. The premise is that, as you make a fake image (for example, a human CGI character) closer to the real thing, it becomes more familiar until it is just shy of a perfect replication. Then, the minor differences and shortcomings become more grotesque (until it gets closer still to mimicking reality, when the familiarity increases again.)
The example? The new Sun-Maid girl:

No plans, free as a bird as they say. I'll be there, maybe not at 7:00 (unless I break some speed limits) but I'll be there.

uh, *cough* what the heck are they going to do if the entire team catches the flu? Torres and Bergeron out, Horcoff was playing a little sluggish, and they commented on how Smith would likely be taken away from the game in an ambulance to be rehydrated. great. yet, the score was what? i know, don't gloat, it could be dangerous. PLEASE don't get the flu, Oilers!
also, please don't get the flu, alison (though, less of a priority, right now, somehow). apparently my father (who forgot to mention this) has been consistently under the weather for two weeks. i don't know if that means i've caught something, or been a conduit of illness (sorry y'all), but i sure have become rather achy and unsettled.... damn. i don't want to discover my illness on a 10-hour drive to northern alberta. well, here's hoping it's all psychosomatic, that getting some rest will take care of it, and that the Oilers will be in top form for Tuesday's game (which i'll watch in the "Las Vegas of the North," excellent)

On second thought Tay, what happened at the party after Ed and Mary left, should stay at the party. I think they'll have enough questions when they see my Quad-cigar picture.
