Calling Susan lazy is horribly judgemental. She's indolent-by-choice Susan.

I believe Suzyn prefers the term "progressive"

I think they should make a combination refrigerator-oven with a trap door. Pull the lever and a chicken falls into the oven. Great for parties.

How come there are no comments by Kenny Freeze ??? ;-))

[Constantine XIII]

OH MAN that would make a zillion dollars.

And I think they should have a nut compartment, to keep your nuts fresh.

[bicyclerepair]

Dispense other beverages????? That's called a kegarator! And I have one, it holds a keg of beer and has a tap on top. Nothing like having ice-cold beer on draft ALL the time.

Yeah, but the glass doors would soon get all smudgy like glass shelves and would look terrible. The glass shelves look wonderful on floor models, but give me back the old metal rack shelves and let the koolaid drip to the bottom where you can't see it. Glass shelves don't stay clean for more than 3 days in my fridge, and it would take even less time for glass doors to look horrible.

Susan has ADD, and should be given extra time to complete her tasks as she struggles with this crippling disability. How about some sympathy and understanding instead of your scorn, derision and outdated judgmental language of paternalistic oppression.

[babble-on]

Yes, the glass doors would look terrible, but that just means we can initiate a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer. THINK, man!

[halieus]
