     Granted, supermarkets *are* evil, I just never knew they were
this evil!  :-)      Perhaps Mr. McElwaine is unaware of the fact that
ALL netposts are framed with a pattern of 666's, which are used to alert
SATAN as to who to suck into hell next Thursday!  Be warned: I know this
to be true; Jesus told me so personaly.  He stoped by just after Santa
left to get a jump on x-mas shopping!
