[GZG] [OT] Horribly, actually, but whom is that stopping? Re: [OFFICIAL] New stuff info and New Offer! :-)

Now that's too weird! I could have SWORN that I'd seen Dew regularly on
the
desk of BOFH, or at least the noble PFY...

So far, the only Dew showing up in searches is on the telephone lines.

Natch, a supply of Dew would indicate someone actually putting out
effort,
and that only happens when the boss needs reminding of who's actually in
charge. Also, all that caffeine tends to disrupt the three pint lunch.

Still,this discussion is a bitter sweet reminder of Dew in the old days,
slender green bottle, sillouete of hillbilly and his lil brown jug,
contents smoothly sliding down your throat. If I start to remember
pre-corn
syrup Pepsi and Coca-Cola, I shall start to weep.

Too late...
