Oh yeah, that's a favourite of mine.

Natural blueberries? As opposed to what, plastic ones?

Everything natural is 100% safe. I've heard of a great new natural cure-all they're calling "Cyanide".

Neither can you about a Mac "Pro" with only a $400 price tag... You'd be buying a used one from 1998.

My one friend who lifts is always getting new supplements and such. I said something one day and he goes, "Its all natural." Doesn't mean it is good.

My truck has TRD emblazoned on the side.

I call it the "turd".

It is, however, a pretty good truck all the same and doesn't deserve my denigration.

LOL. When I was an electronics teacher in the Marines, the specific piece of equipment I taught about was the AN/TRD-12 Radio Direction Finder. Otherwise known as the Turd-12. I probably don't need to tell you what we called the AN/PRC-25.

I have a GoPro camera. I see pros using them all the time, except everything I film seems to come out Go Amateur. Hmm, you might be onto something Munji.
