    I do not remember seeing this, though I know I must have.

    But I will bet all 1400 of my dollars that this WAS Cal. Those comments at the end are majestic.

      The best things on the page are ALWAYS me. Anything that didn't work, well, I blame it on Fab or Ben.

      But aren't you, Fab, and Ben (as well as College Mizery) all the same person? Or did I lose track somewhere?

      I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

      dum, dum dum. dum dum dum dum; dum, dum dum. dum dum dum dum.

      Well, I guess that beats the theme song from M*A*S*H*, which for some reason has been running through my head at random moments over the past few days.

      As earworms go, I'm OK with anything by The Beatles.

    Speaking of Cal, is there any way to hack the "customers who viewed this product also viewed" feature on Amazon? Because when I clicked on the "buy Cal's book" link in the sidebar, I noticed (along with several nice reviews) a very large image of an imodium box.

      That is the greatest thing I've ever heard!!

      My weapons of choice to combat the "discomfort" of my gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, fun-free existence, though, are Pepto, Gaviscon, Zantac, and occasionally Prilosec! PRODUCT PLACEMENT!

      I can't duplicate your finding, but I will endeavor all night to get it so I can take a screenshot and put it on my desktop! Thanks for the tip.

      Hmm. . .apparently those suggestions aren't the same for everyone (although I just got the same result when I tried searching Amazon while signed in, in a non-private window).

      Anyway, I took a screenshot and sent it to the main CM address. Presumably Fab will pass it on if you don't have direct access.

      I got the big Imodium box too! But then CC and I are probably the same person anyway.

      I got the poop meds as well. I feel like I am in good company. I also feel a premonition that I will spend more time in the office with the big, white, porcelain phone. I should take some reading material with me . . . perhaps a book of poetry.

    The button thingy that had people so perplexed might be a clip-on microphone.
