Now some people may be thinking "What is he crazy?! With gas prices this high I only buy generic brand food!" I implore on you not to hang out or chill with these low lifes. This has been a public service announcement of the American Broadcasting Company.

What about generic brand garbage bags? Sure, they don't have any fancy built-in ropes or mesh patterns, but they're made just to be thrown away. It's too hard to part with the name brand garbage bags, they are just too nice. This makes them ineffective as garbage bags, so I would like to propose the use of generic brand garbage bags for garbage disposal purposes. Of course, the name brand garbage bags could still be used as display pieces and wedding gifts.

Are we to understand that anything that goes in the trash does not deserve to be made from the quality materials we know and cherish in other name brand products around the house? Maybe we should only buy cheap, paper-thin toilet paper since we're just going to wipe our asses with it. Maybe we shouldn't even bother to buy toilet paper after all, maybe we should use newspaper. Maybe we should make trash bags out of newspaper, then we wouldn't even have to go to the store at all. Maybe we should just **** in the woods, like animals, save a buck or two on energy and water since we're just going to flush it down the toilet. Do you think we should do that?

There's a huge difference between trash bags and toilet paper: trash bags don't usually come into contact with sensitive areas of the body. You can't put a price on the lack of discomfort that comes with high quality toilet paper.

However, you do have a point about the water in the toilet for waste disposal being an unnecessary expense. I would say you could probably just use generic bottled water for waste disposal, and maybe even just tap water if you really want to save.

The woods suggestion would also not be a bad idea if there are woods close enough for it to be convenient to get to them regularly, yet far enough away so as to avoid any negative side-effects from having a large pile of human waste around (if any). Try to use woods with brand name trees and other plant-life though. I hear Douglas-fir trees are pretty nice.

I propose that the disposal method ought to have a direct correlation to the quality of the ingested food. Generic brand food definately does not merit the same opulence as say, such quality brand name food products as Banquet TV Dinners © or Hot Pockets.

If you are fighting in a war OR are a badger then it is probably okay to use the woods in any event though.

Very typical of you, corduckduckpse, to bring up [of all things] the War on Badgers™ whilst discussing more important and leading issues, such as, toiletries and pee water.

While I agree that certain brand names of food should warrant a similar quality of disposal methods, do NOT dare besmirch the underlying genuineless-ness of generic foods and stride through these issues spitting and tossing your fancy-pants words around here, sir (that is, if you want to sleep safely at night, my ex-best friend).

Sincerely,
Your ex-best friend

I think we're all missing the point here. We need to focus more on the store you buy your generic brand, non brand, or branded food items in. The store in which the articles of food are purchased in should be valued the highest.

We could sum up the worth of the items by using an eleven point system. You could say that the store is worth 5 points, and then break down those five points into sub categories. The size of the store, quality of the clerk, coolness of the store name, amount of cars in the parking lot, and amount of items purchasable at the said store make up the five point total. The one point that makes up the quality of the clerk could be broken down into five sub-sub categories. The age, height, zodiac sign, gender, and mass should be taken into consideration. The height and mass pointage should be proportional in a way that is healthy and they affect each other directly. The age is personal preference; use your own judgement in determining the point total for that. The gender and zodiac sign affect each other as well. Please refer to the zodiac table (1.8) found here to determine your point total in that respect:

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/final_fantasy_tactics_zodiac_compatibility.txt

If you are best, add 0.4 to the total clerk score.
If you are worst, add nothing to the score.
If you are good, add 0.3 to the total clerk score.
If you are bad, add 0.1 to the total clerk score.
If you are neutral, add 0.2 to the total clerk score.

Be sure to ask the clerk their zodiac sign before buying goods. Everyone obviously loves it when you ask them personal questions. Also, be sure to punch them in the face for good luck. If security guards come after you, just use your awesome pacifist fighting style to render them inoperable.

The point value for the size of the store can be determined by sacrificing 12 goats and multiplying 0 by 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884195 (or something close to that). The coolness of name factor cannot be determined by using sheer rituals and sacrifices. Just use your best judgement on that one. The cars in the parking lots have no bearing on the point total. The score for that is always one no matter what. the point value for the amount of purchasable items, on the other foot, can be easily be determined by counting all the items in the store, and then dividing by 0. Be sure not to lose count. If someone takes something out of the store, you'll have to start all over again!


The brandness of the item is worth 3 points. No brand = 1. Generic brand = 2. Fancy brand = 3.

You financial status should reflect 2 points. 2 if you're poor. 1 if you're middle class. 0 if you're upper class. You know, like grade 12 or something...

The final point should be based on your IOS version and running configuration. You know, like make sure you subnetted your network correctly and make sure you access control lists are placed correctly. And make sure your DCE end of your cable is connected to a serial port with a clock rate of 56000. I'm sure you could write a program in perl that could calculate that final point based on your router settings.

That pretty much sums it all up. Remember, the higher the point total, the more it is likely that you should buy the food item that you have picked up. It's all fairly self explanatory, really.

Well thank you, Captain Obvious. But you guys should look at the big picture. We can learn from the Indians who used every part of the buffalo (bison?). If we use every part of our food products, there will be no need for trash bags, thus making this discussion moot.

That's a really good point. I always end up wasting quite a bit of the bison I buy at the store these days.

Perhaps I should take a lesson from the wise Indians and become more conscious of my bison-use-percentage (or BUP for short).

Since my mother thinks she might be .0094453% Native American, she's come up with some crafty alternatives to throwing away excess buffalo parts. Consider some of these healthy and creative ways to decorate your home this holiday season:

Buffalo bladders can be blown up to create natural balloons or wine dispensers. Who needs a paper bag when you can drink your alcohol right from a slimy, bacteria filled, bladder? Add yellow die to your white wine for an authentic, natural looking beverage.

Buffalo eyes make inventive and exciting ornaments for the Christmas tree. Simply poke a wire through it, tie it off, and you're good to go! Glue them to old portraits and wait for the laughter to ensue as old George Washington's eyes become real.

This may be painfully obvious but devouring raw buffalo hearts and brains can impart upon the consumer the strength and intelligence of the wild buffalo. The same is true for humans, but you should wait until they die of natural causes first.

There is no reason why you can't burn buffalo dung instead of logs. Why destroy nature when everything you need for heat this winter can come right from your buffalo stables? Let's keep this planet healthy, okay?

And of course, sting buffalo intestines around the house for a festive alternative to garland. This is an old western tradition which has sadly not carried over to the modern age.

With these tips you can limit the amount of waste you create on a daily basis. Keep stacking those old magazines and newspapers in piles around the house and you might never have to lose sleep worrying about buying generic trash bags ever again!

WHAT!? My cardboard box that happens to be made of steel certainly does NOT have a production studio situated on the premises, nor has it EVER had any type of recording or fun-making equipment and accessories on site! What you are suggesting is simply pure MADNESS!

Although, I DO seem to recall there being many news persons on the premises. And they WERE pointing some sort of large, box-like, devices with lenses in my direction. And I DID happen to be wearing my "Captain Obvious! The Obvious Power is YOURS!"™ suit while staring at the news persons; however, they were probably just there to interview me on my BUP.

I'll have it known that my BUP is statistically above average in the province of New Brunswick according to the Lemonade University. I even got my friend, a doctor in lemon therapy, to confirm this fact.* Yes folks, I use 12% more bison than your average New Brunwickian (between the ages of 29 and 34)! My friend even has a degree! Now, surely you all trust someone with a degree! Here's proof:

I believe that a simple of increase of orange production and consumption would cause these issues to just disappear. Don’t take my word for it though, take a look at the EVIDENCE.

It's been a year or so since I made a product based message so I figured it was high time to make one. There is no real purpose to this message. I suppose it could be used to create world peace but I really don't feel like going through all that right now. And besides if there were world peace what would we do in our spare time. Have cuddling matches. I don't think so. People need to blow the crap out of each other in order to survive. If we don't kill the weak then our population will get to large Thomas Malthus knew what he was talking about back in the 17th century he knew damn well what he was talking about with his positive checks against over population and his crazy plans for world destruction. I just wish it would rain more often in Wisconsin I have no reason for wishing this I just do. Is there a law against a man dreaming for rain in an area where he isn't even from? I think not. It’s a free country I can dream what I want to dream unless I dream of treason and sleep walk to Ottawa and shoot the prime minister that would probably result in execution even though there is no execution in Canada I am relatively sure you can still get executed for treason imagine what it would be like they would have parades and orchestrated music my execution would be like Woodstock except with trumpets. It would start a revolution people would rebel against freedom and cry for oppression. War would be waged and all the little children would be force to eat nothing but cream of wheat. What a world.
