The Flash Debate

Drink the kool-aid?

Not to be picky, but the mass suicide at Jonestown Guyana in 1978 happened when the members drank cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid (often misidentified as Kool-Aid) along with a sedative.

Yeah, but saying "drank the Flavor Aid" just doesn't sound quite right for some reason.

Oh! I get it. Sooner or later, this girl gets it.

ITA. "drank the Flavor Aid" just doesn't cut it.

haha, talk about a marketing problem. How do you fight people wrongly using your product name in reference to a cult mass suicide.

Or what about, "He doesn't know "shitums" from Shinola!"

How wonderful the Shinola people must feel about this!

also, i am amazed by how heat this subject seems to generate.

you ain't seen nuthin'! Go to an amateur radio forum and ask, "what's the big deal over dropping the morse code requirement to get a license?" all morse code testing was eliminated on february 23, 2007 and it is still the most talked about subject on the boards!

[Dr.Gee]

Heh.

Okay, okay. Everyone back to your corners for another cool down.

On one page, "shitums", a Jonestown reference, and Morse Code... I think my eyes are starting to bleed.
