Remember Little Miss Muffet's "curds and whey"? That's good old cottage cheese. The Velveeta people have just blended them together to get something that melts at the thought of heat.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, I don't eat Velveeta -- it's all but flavorless, unlike good cottage cheese.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-7375119336483515672008-12-12T11:21:00.000-08:002008-12-12T11:21:00.000-08:00It's the 'an such' that bothers me.It's the 'an such' that bothers me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-8394537366779432852008-12-12T08:48:00.000-08:002008-12-12T08:48:00.000-08:00That's a good question, Bukko.

Too bad about the investors though. <BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Cynical PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-21302929085081660122008-12-12T04:29:00.000-08:002008-12-12T04:29:00.000-08:00So how come whatever entity it was that invested $...So how come whatever entity it was that invested $40M isn't pushing for prosecution? That's not worth the bother? Burn up 40 mill of MY money a few months after you've conned me into providing fresh capital and I'd at least want to smash your kneecaps with an aluminum baseball bat.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-11471908764787014002008-12-11T19:53:00.000-08:002008-12-11T19:53:00.000-08:00One of my former employers got a $40M investment i...One of my former employers got a $40M investment in March. They declared they were out of money and liquidated the company in July. WTF? How does a small company with 130 employees go through $40M in four months?!<BR/><BR/>Will anybody go to jail for that. Not no, but hell no. $40M buys a lot of consideration from the law. Jail is reserved for folks selling bongs for $5, not for people looting $40M out of a company that was on its last legs anyhow...<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Cynical PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-44158237365750231172008-12-11T19:30:00.000-08:002008-12-11T19:30:00.000-08:00Velveta , at least it has some consistency !
