OMG I almost (almost!) crapped my pants!!! This is the number 1 thing I'm looking forward to this weekend. Working some cow manure into my garden tomorrow is number 2.

No Jim Bakker minute? Not sure how I’m going to get through my day without his motivational pep talk, lol.

Excellently written, and great work from deformr as usual. Deuces.

Cheeky little radiohead lyric drop! Love it

Isn't Chime a payday loan app? We're surprised ACC would take money from a company like that.

Susan Schnur

Thanks for responding. Glad to see you're still ACC.

Way to take down that Republican asshole Jack Kingston, ACC!

I always hated CVS and have always tried to avoid going there. (Except when greedy health insurance companies forced me to use them.) But now I'm starting to think CVS must be headed by the most gullible idiots in corporate America. They fell for this scam and Elizabeth Holmes' Theranos scam at pretty much the same time.

As a microbiome scientist, I listened to this with much interest. I definitely think there was a promising idea in there. What a shame.

Ken Smith

So many of these scams start with a promising idea. They just lose their way after that.

Michelle Hebert

Right you are, my mistake. CVS was interested too but didn't go as far as Walgreen's in actually setting up clinics for Theranos.
