Posting here because LJ is acting up again. Way to go, LJ.

My errands today involved returning some products to the grocery store, because they are horrible.

Product number one is Cramp 911, which promises to "rapidly relieve and prevent" leg cramps, muscle spasms, and pain due to muscle tightness. It is a horrible product that does absolutely nothing.

Product number two was Hyland's Leg Cramp pills. "Hyland’s Leg Cramps and Hyland’s Leg Cramps PM provide a 100% natural solution."

I bought these products because I was in pain and they promised to handle the exact thing that was bothering me.

I am still in pain.

When I returned them, the clerk asked why. I said, "Because they are absolute failures at doing what they advertize to do and should be pulled from the shelves to prevent others from suffering at the hands of these charlatans. I have prolonged my suffering by purchasing them and swear to never make that mistake again. Finding them in your 'pharmacy' section has made me leery of purchasing other products from you."

The woman behind me in line said, "Well, you asked!"

Meanwhile, what did work was some acetaminophen, some Target-brand aspercreme, and some Tiger Balm.

I hate 2010, but it's the only HAL clip I could find that wasn't Open the pod bay doors or I'm afraid.

Dan and I just had a fascinating conversation about tone of voice. When I listen to these scenes, I hear HAL being very confident and competent. Dan, on the other hand, hears someone being condescending and arrogant.

And, he tells me, I sometimes sound condescending and arrogant. I do not take offense at this, but find it interesting.

We've got lots of video clips and they're all sound-dependent. )
