Shout Outs Galore and Carbonated Beverages

My shout outs yesterday were a resounding success. Well, not so much a "resounding success" as "not a giant failure," so I've decided to do it again.

I'd like to give a SHOUT OUT to my sister for braving the wilderness by engaging in Garden Manticore Assault Training, or GMAT for short. There's apparently --

HA! Just kidding! I have a whole new set of shout outs for today. Let's get started.

A new SHOUT OUT to loyal reader Gus for being one of the brilliant minds behind Poqer-Edge. You might notice a typo in there. Spam bots in the last year or so have clinged to anything referencing the non-typo version of poqer, so the typo stands. Canned meat cyborgs aside, Gusto's software has been taking off and is a huge success. Remember John Malkovich's character in Rounders, Teddy KGB? He uses that program. Remember those tricky manticores from yesterday's post? They use it, too, when they're not tripping people. You know who doesn't use Gusto's program? Jar Jar Binks of Star Wars infamy. Don't be like Jar Jar, be like Teddy KGB. Besides, every subscription you buy is three more beers Gus will buy me. He doesn't know that yet, but he agrees to it by reading the endofthissentence!

SHOUT OUT to Doris, the owner of a slice of cheese in the department's refrigerator. Some time ago, the mythical folks who administer the kitchenette area asked everyone to put their name on their food with a date so that when three years have passed, the fuzzy wonton soup can be thrown out. I firmly believe the wonton soup caused that rule, and it really was there for about three years. Doris, however, did not put a date on her individually-wrapped slice of cheese but it's been there a long while. I think she may have actually brought in some butter, or even milk, in a Zip-Lock bag that has since turned into a Kraft Single. The point is, she's thrown caution to the wind and attempted to anger the Lords of Kitchenette Land. I, on the other hand, routinely sacrifice a tub of cottage cheese in the hopes of winning their favor. It worked, we got Coca-Cola Zero today!

Speaking of which, SHOUT OUT to the Coca-Cola company. This Coca-Cola Zero is tasty. It's like 90% Coca-Cola and 8% Diet Coke. The remaining 2% must be experienced, so I won't ruin the surprise. But rest assured, it's there and it's worth every drop. Pepsi tried something like this many years ago with Pepsi One. Well, that extra something was too much, because Pepsi One is Diet Pepsi in a gray can and therefore not shout out-able. Besides, Pespi owns Frito-Lay and they got enough shout outs with my Dorito Bandito post.

That's it for today. Thanks for the beers, Gusto!

You’re probably wondering what a Teddy KGB is.
That picture above is a Teddy KGB. Watch your chips.
