I missed it! :'(
I only saw the follow-ups.
Now I'll never know what the first whine was.

The whole situation sucks. It's cold and overcast and it rained all day
yesterday when it should be snowing.

WOW! We have the weather sucking ROCKS in Chicago and BEETS in Pa.
It's grey in NM today (yes, it *can* happen; it just *doesn't* happen
very often). And it sucks, let's see, tofu? No... WordPerfect manuals?
No, probably not that bad...uhhhhh.....let me think.

Ok, how about it sucking.. er.. umm. hmm. You say it's just grey? Not the
wonderful 2 degree weather with wind chills from hell? hmm.

Does it suck this new "crystal pepsi" stuff? (I haaaaaaaaaaate pepsi, by
the way, for anyone who knows the psu/pepsi story (barf))

What the hell is this "crystal pepsi" stuff, anyway? And why does the
machine upstairs say that I should be the first to try it?

A few of my friends at the Deaf and Blind School here in
Colorado Springs, Colorado (the gay rights capital of the
world) heard it and asked me to log on and see who did it.
They haven't stopped whining about that whine. But they
often do enjoy a little whine with dinner.

The idiots in Library Admin. have the AIR CONDITIONER on....
when it's 30 degrees outside!!! Whaaaaah!!!

Ewww, that new "crystal pepsi" stuff scares me. It almost looks (gasp!)
healthy! (ick! ick! ick!) Does it have caffine? Does it have sugar?
It has no color. Just what *does* it have, hmmm?

Don't drink it, Brian. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

hmm, ok. A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away (and most people
would prefer to keep it that way) there was this place named "Penn State."
It was in the center of a backward place known as "Pennsylvania." This was
the land of the speeding police carts and killer Office of Physical Plant
minivans, all painted a sickening blue color. It was also a land of sparse
subdomains and huge DNS files, due to common idiocy.

Now, PSU had vending machines, and by some act of forces unknown, the
vending machines had both "Coca-cola" and "Pepsi" cans in them, since they
were independantly operated by the university. This was wonderful, since you
never had to put up with Pepsi (in my case) and we didn't have to hear about
Pepsi-lovers whining about their lack of Pepsi. You could also get a
Mountain Dew, if you were really into caffeine and sugar.

Then on one dismal day, PSU and Pepsi decided that they wanted to make more
money. How, they wondered, were they going to do this? Well, it didn't take
long for them to sign a contract to eliminate "Pepsi's" overpowering
opponent, "Coca-Cola." And thus it was done; against common outcry, the red
and white cans that we all knew and loved were replaced with purple-colored
cans containing some of the worst grape soda ever concocted. This was only
the first step, though. With Coke out of the way, more devious plans arose
for the vending machines. On one day, prices rose. On other days, special
morons were paid to put the terrible grape-monster soda into the "Mountain
Dew" slot by mistake. Still worse, a rash of "Uh-huh" reciting commited by
students was observed by the mathematics department at an exam. Most of the
students failed the exam, for obvious reasons.

So now, there are those of us who wonder how long it will take for Penn
State to have an official T.V. dinner, keystroke, haircut, or shoe size.
We can only live in fear. However, there is a small grain of hope in
117/118/119 McAllister Building where my cohorts and I store our
twelve-packs of the administrative-feared "Coca-Cola" beverage in a fridge
newly marked with a bogus "biohazard" sign. We can only wait and hope that
our letters from earth make it to a helpful and understanding race..

It makes you wonder if they are canning/bottling water again.

|Don't drink it, Brian. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

"the legion of real sody pop" will prevail yet! well, maybe.

Yes, Library people will do things like that; they're also really good
whiners. :)

This "Crystal Pepsi" stuff has arrived, strangly enough in the middle
of the night when nobody was watching, at the dorms here at UNLV. Is this
stuff taking over the world?! It doesn't have caffine, and it's just not
normal. Everybody here had started drinking it. A few of us have managed to
hold out, but I don't know for how long. They are coming for us! They wont
stop until we are all their mindless slaves! I don't know how long I can
hold on! HELP!


>Be afraid. Be very afraid.

HELP! HELP!

Well, Brian, you need to move out west where *WE* have to practically
*import* Pepsi from foreign dealers. Coke, coke, coke, everywhere I
look, coke, coke, coke. There was once a Pepsi machine in the post office
on campus, but the Coke distributers whiiiiiiiiiiined about it. They
insisted that it was "on campus" and therefore on their territory. They
whiiiiiiiiined loudly enough that the Pepsi machine (which, btw, only
charged .35 a can in contrast with the .50 charged by Coke) was removed
after only 1 month!

It was a sad day.

I still don't condone this mystery crystal stuff, though.

wwwaaaaaa... almost eeeeeeevery place hereeee i like to go haaas pepsi..
including the good piiiiiiiizza place...

|(which, btw, only charged .35 a can in contrast with the .50 charged by Coke)

They charged .55 for coke and theeeeen they raaaaaaaised it to .60 after
peeepsi got here...

Someone agrees with you; on the "try this new crystal stuff" sign today,
someone had written "Bring back 7-up!" I can't fathom why they replaced
7-up with that and kept that awful grape soda...
