A letter from me

Dear 2009 Cory,

Your life today is a direct product of the decisions you’ve made up to this point. The farmer does not plant the seed today and tomorrow wake to find rows of healthy, wealth producing corn. No, it takes months of planning, cultivating, and tending to his crop and even then, nothing is guaranteed. However, if the correct decisions are made, your dreams, your goals - not in one days time, but over a period of time when plans are cultivated and carefully tended to - will grow to fruition. 

Moral: Today’s seeds will grow to be next years crop. Plant wisely! 

So keep it in your pants, turn off the Xbox, and go write, write, write, dude!!


Sincerely,


2010 Cory

P.S. Nice ass, dude!

E3 Gaming Convention

Dear Wii fan,

Nintendo has heard your cries for more mature, realistic games and we have listened! Here are just a few from our exciting new fall line up:

Ender’s Game Iraq

Soar over the skies of Baghdad controlling an unmanned predator drone. Looks so realistic but don’t worry, it’s not; we made our quota this month. Use the ultra sophisticated camera to zoom in on the ground below - Hey! What’s that guy doing with a goat? Post the video on YouTube to reduce virtual troop stress levels. 

Super Mario Plumbing

The Princess needs help! No, she hasn’t been kidnapped, but she has dropped too many kids off at the pool. Ready for Donkey Kong? It turns out he doesn’t just eat bananas. Better hurry, Toad had Indian food last night. Plunge your way to the end and face off with King Koopa Supa Poopa.

Rush Limbaugh’s Abu Ghraib-and-Go

Voiced by the freedom loving man himself, play as a high ranking official at Abu Ghraib prison. Get in touch with your inner Republican as you order troops to torture, and when the media catches wind, find a way to blame it on everyone but you and your civilian superiors. 

Long live Nintendo and it’s panel of gay console namers!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,

Nintentendo

Dear Mr. Jarvis,

Here is your weekly Global News update.

- Security council to tighten sanctions on North Korea. Things to be cut include No Fro Hair Tonic, Khaki factory worker’s clothes, and sunglasses from the 1970s.

- Carrie Prejean was stripped of the Miss California title. She claims all her problems stem from answering no when asked about whether or not gay marriage should be legal. When a reporter asked, didn’t she think Miss USA’s thoughts and opinions should be in line with the majority of the country she represented she replied, “Ewwww! Not if they’re gay!”

- Octomom the musical is in the works. Broadway producers said it was a “no brainer.” They expect to sell out the first 6 months with just the namesakes offspring alone. Producers said the play takes place inside the Octomom’s womb. They are currently looking for a more spacious venue.

- Contestants in a French reality show have won the rights to be treated as full time employees. The TV studio, owned by a giant corporation, eventually gave in to their demands, immediately cutting their pay, making them attend productivity and synergy meetings, and then had them create S.M.A.R.T. goals. Later that night, they all voted themselves off.

- A study shows that emergency room visits for computer injuries increased 700% over the last 7 years. Experts say these accidents go third on the list of least manly injuries just barely being beat out by a black eye from a water balloon fight, and spraining your two inner fingers at a Star Trek convention.

- Digital TV is coming but many Americans are not ready. Many people are confused as to what is the difference between TV with or without the digital converter box they have to buy. Congressional representatives declined to comment but a digital converter box employee said it was the difference between his wife shopping at Target or 5th Avenue.

- Brett Micheals, lead singer of 80’s metal band Poison, was recently injured during a performance. Micheals was backing up and ran into something being lowered, which forced him to quit playing. When asked what hit him a technician said, “Reality.”


Shop till you drop

Dear Mr. Jarvis,

Although we are not thanking you for congratulating us on, as you put it, “getting (expletive)er and (expletive)er with every visit,” we do appreciate it when a customer writes with their concerns. 

As you know, at Rite Aid we constantly strive for excellency so we take customer concerns very seriously. We contacted your local branch and the following list should address all of your concerns.

- Regarding Raybekah, she and her baby-daddy are currently experiencing relationship problems and because we don’t give employees time off we are allowing her to work it out via cell phone while she works the register.

- Our manager does not ride the short bus to work. It is not company policy to provide transportation to and from the work place. 

- Police reports from your area show a higher level of shop lifting among women. That is why our balding, single, middle aged, security guard follows them around the store.

- We apologize for the long waits created by having only one person working a register but please understand that sometimes our employees need free time to discuss football with one another right next to the line while you wait. 

Here are some ideas we are currently working on to help entertain customers while they stand in line:

Giant plasma screen TVs that constantly play our commercials. You know, the ones that talk about us having low prices, short waits, and great service.


Line Speed Dating: Looking for love? Maybe that lady behind you isn’t crazy after all. She’s not homeless! She just wanted her first house to be special.


Beer Taste Testing Class: Natural Light or Natural Light Ice? Which one goes better with the Macaroni and Cheese your buying. Now you’ll know.


We hope we have answered all of your questions and complaints. Once again, we appreciate your patronage and look forward to selling you a trash can missing a lid again sometime in the near future.

Long live Rite Aid and it’s devotion to the customer’s wallet!

Sincerely,

Rite Aid
