Ok, you write the corporate video speech for the Osco/Jewell CEO. I'm going back to Venice Beach.

*gives a sidelong glance at Ray. I'm not sure how we got in this mess. but if she asks us to cook her some bacon, I say we put on pants.*

If I had known I had to be in lion cloth shape I wouldn't have ordered the meat lover's pizza last night...

Deal. Richard Jewell was framed, and I love Osco. They have good trailmix and 50 gallon drums of peanut butter. It's not just shopping in a warehouse anymore.

Trust me - writing a speech for a CEO sounds a whole hell of a lot better to me these days than getting out of bed and dragging myself to this egregious waste of time my job has become. I need out of here! Hell, swimming naked downstream from a sewage treatment plant sounds better than going to work.

Sweet! Here you go:

"Hey Shareholders! It's been a swell year, coz Americans are getting older and fatter and need more meds. Great news for us, and more importantly, YOU, our beloved partners. Can you believe it? We built 400,000 new Osco drug stores in Jan 2008 alone! There's one on every corner in every city in America. We're branching out to Micronesia next year, and we'll have an Osco on every single island in the South Pacific by 2010. We're sort of hoping to beat Starbucks to the Moon, but you know, with gas prices the way they are, who can tell?

At any rate, just remember that exercise is BAD and television and drugs are GOOD. Tell your family, tell your neighbors, heck, tell everyone. Since you're all shareholders, everyone in the studio audience today is going to find a goody-bag of prescription pharmaceuticals under your seats. Some aren't strictly approved by the FDA, but Meyer-Squibb needed some test patients, and you guys were available.

We love you all, and hope to make fiscal year 2008 an even bigger success than 2007! See you on the beach!"

And my entry:

From: Raymond Figtree

Ok, you write the corporate video speech for the Osco/Jewell CEO. I'm going back to Venice Beach.

Hello from the Osco/Jewell™ stores, home of mercantile triumph! *smile heartily*

I know you've all been waiting for this announcement on our corporate vision. Like you, I think it's long overdue. *glance down, put on glasses, return to camera with a steady, honest gaze* I have some exciting news for you.

Since our inception in 1899, Jewell markets have specialized in the sort of solid product that has formed the backbone of American Midwestern cuisine. We have served as a beacon to the industry for good eatin' at fair prices. And when we merged with Osco, we acquired valuable digestive aids for our customer base that would allow them to buy our markets' food products with complete disregard to their possible impact on their waistlines and digestive tracts. Good Times!

However, our markets have been overtaken by larger players, and we have not been able to compete. After a series of less-than-impressive mergers and spinouts, we now have the opportunity to strike out on our own again, forging a new corporate identity! We have chosen to specialize in a single product, creating a new specialty store that we think the Midwest has been craving for a long, long time: the Bacon Boutique!

I have here a demo. Gentlemen? *camera pulls back as CEO gestures welcomingly*

*Trout and Ray appear dressed only in white butcher's aprons, rolling between them a tall rack displaying an aromatic smorgasbord of pork delights*

*Trout smiles and makes Vanna White™ display gestures up and down the rack*

*Ray briefly turns his unclad rear to the audience O.o!!, picks up a crispy morsel, and crunches it with evident delight as he turns again to face front*

*WILD APPLAUSE!!!!!*

*CEO lights up a cigar and waves it expansively*

AH KNOW, I just KNOW, our fortunes will all be made with this bold concept! We are talking co-marketing deals with both Dunkin Donut's and Starbucks. Soon there'll be a Bacon Boutique on your block.

And an Osco right next door to help with any little health issues that may follow.

*fadeout, while jingle comes up*

Fresh to Your Family -- from Jewel!

ZOMG!!! Perfect product! The only question is, do you sell it in the Bacon Boutique, or Osco?

I'm so torn when it comes to bacon. Pigs are so damn cute, and smart, too. I loved the movie 'Babe'.

They even have more than one flavour!

Lisa: I'm going to become a vegetarian.

Homer: Does that mean you're not going to eat any pork?

Lisa: Yes.

Homer: Bacon?

Lisa: Yes Dad.

Homer: Ham?

Lisa: Dad all those meats come from the same animal.

Homer (sarcastic): Right Lisa, the same wonderful, magical animal!
