Gubbinal

That strange flower, the sun,
Is just what you say.
Have it your way.

The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.

That tuft of jungle feathers,
That animal eye,
Is just what you say.

That savage of fire,
That seed,
Have it your way.

The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.

Have it your way! The source of the uber-phrase!

Dear Anthony Franciosa: Your THE MOSS PROBLEM ad is highly distracting which I suppose is its purpose, what with the multi-color type, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, bizarre asides (something about the doctor says cut out the lunches?) Add any kind of picture, maybe the actor who plays The Burger King photograph or video or still, send it to Burger King Inc. and I'm sure they'd cut you a check for at least twenty-five dollars, maybe use it on other websites! Your new career, a dream come true: writing ad copy! I'm serious! --Darius, Worthlessville, Ohio Twenty Eleven A.D.

Mr. Smith, on Behalf of the Moss Problem I'd like to thank you for drawing attention the the hamburger add which mostly likely made its way to the website via the ecoli virus, and even though we seem to be stuck with it, it will be promptly relocated!
