Hello. We hope you are well today. Before we get on to the day's normal reading and commenting activities, we have just a few announcements we want to share with everyone.
- We had a great turnout for the recent "photo-enhanced" post called "Troubling New Theory". Many of you regulars were there and the post was well-received. We here at caveat emptor are working hard to schedule more photo-enhanced posts for those who enjoy them. Scott would like to thank everyone who participated and everyone who worked so hard to make that post a success. You guys rock!
- Something to look forward to in the near future: We are working with Disney and the folks at DARE! to produce a post for kids called "Chuck Says Gno to Drugs". Our hope is to capitalize on the hot Gnome fad among children to get a positive message out there to stay in school and stay off drugs. It's been rewarding work, and we should be announcing posting schedules very soon (Note: We will not be posting "Chuck Says Gno to Drugs" here on caveat emptor. As always, we encourage you to keep your children away from caveat emptor. And drugs. And not going to school.)
- No one likes to hear rules, we know, but we asK for your patience as we address a topic that is becoming a problem. For the comfort of our readers, we are glad to offer a lounge area and to keep that area stocked with snacks and drinks for everyone. We do not charge for these, they are free (there is a donation cup by the coffee pot for those so inclined). Although we're happy to continue this service, we do ask that everyone exercise courtesy and manners in the lounge area. Here are a few suggestions.
- Please rinse the coffee mugs and place them in the dish washer when you're finished with them.
- Please do not leave half-eaten bagels on the coffee table.
- Please to not get crumbs in the cream cheese.
- If you need to belch, please try to do so quietly and say, "excuse me," afterwards.
- If you want to listen to music, please bring headphones. Some people are not as enthusiastic about prog rock as you are.
- Some activites should really be done in private. Please do these at home. We'll not go into details, but everyone knows what we're talking about here.
- You are welcome to leave things in the fridge, but please put your name and a date on them. Things more than a week old, things without names and things without dates will be thrown out every Friday at about 3:00 PM.
- Please do not write suggestive things about the female readers on the walls of the men's room.
- Please do not write suggestive things about the male readers on the walls of the men's room.
- In fact, please do not write on the walls of the men's room, especially not with permanent Sharpies. We have a comments section if you feel the need to write.
- Someone has been pouring coffee into the potted trees in the lounge. These trees are fake, and the coffee just leaks out of the bottom onto the carpet. Please don't do this anymore.
Well, that's all for today. As always, thanks for stopping by. We hope you enjoy your time at caveat emptor. As Scott always says, "Later. Love."
