Prove Us Wrong Number 21
Hey you! Yeah, I'm talking to you, maggot! Step into my big, beefy, spicy world of pain! Yeahh!!!
Aw, c'mon! Please! I spent all day on it, making it all beefy and spicy and painful and stuff. The least you could do is try it. Hey! Quit that! Stop proving it wrong! Get away! Awww, man! Now it's ruined! Ewww, beef and spice and pain everywhere. Thanks a lot, jerk!
RESOLVED:
Having a Slim Jim before 10 a.m. is as big a problem as having an alcoholic drink before 10 a.m.

Having a Slim Jim before 10am is a BIGGER problem than
having a alcoholic beverage before 10am.
Alcoholic beverages can be disguised into socially
acceptable pre-10am cocktails such as the Mimosa, the
Bloody Mary and the double vodka martini.
Where as there is no such "breakfasty" disguise for a
Slim Jim. Don't bother serving them with eggs,
chopped into faux Jimmy Dean links. I've tried that
it doesn't pass.
Plus on a saturday morning before 10am you may find
yourself eating a Slim Jim and then watching that
anthropomorphized meat stick man character in the
TV ads hanging out in a stomache and then get totally
grossed out thinking you have this living meat
creature in your belly and he's talking tough now but
soon the stomache acids will tear him apart and he'll
squeal like a lobster.
Does this make you wrong? I think so.
PS are any of the you VGGs sick or dying? Some of you
don't look so good. If someone should die can I
audition? Or have his stuff?

Whoa! Dude! You proved us wrong by TAKING OUR PREMISE FURTHER. It's like karate, where you use the attacker's own weight against him! Yowzah! An early morn Slim Jim isn't EQUALLY as bad as a tequila at sunrise, but WORSE. Well done. Also kudos on the pleasant mental picture of that beefy spicy corporate shill of a mascot screaming like a woman as his face is melted off by the ole abdomen acids. Ahh, fer fun.
As for your P.S., we Van Gogh-Goghs are all hale and hearty, full of vim and vinegar! However, if I had say, 50 bucks, I could afford to "research" one of the Van Gogh-Goghs' "illness," if you know what I mean. Alan looks a little peaked lately, methinks. He's a prime candidate for SIDS and juvenile diabetes, you know. I also heard his family has a genetic predisposition for getting pushed in front of buses. Terrible shame if he had a sudden bout of that.

If having a slim jim before 10 A.M. is as big a problem as having an
alcoholic drink before 10 A.M., then consider me an early-to-rise, raging
sociopath!
However, my primary goal in this letter is to simply prove you wrong
which can be done with two easy to understand arguments that even a little
five year old can grasp and put his mouth around to suck the sweet, sweet
juice of life out of.
The first argument is based on the fact that having a slim jim before 10
A.M. isn't as big a problem as sipping the monkey juice in the morning since
neither is really a "true" problem.
For example, I eat a slim jim AND drink alcohol and the morning...does
that mean I'm going to hell? Is Jesus going to appear and smack me dead in
my tracks? The answer is, of course, no.....and Jesus is NEVER
wrong...EVER....
Also, if I drink grape juice before 10 A.M., do I have a problem?
Of course, stupidly, the Van Goh Gohs are probably shaking their heads in
idiotic unision, and moronically uttering that grape juice has nothing to do
with a question which regards alcoholic drinks.....
BUT.....
Grape juice is in fact partially alcoholic! Any fruit based product will
ferment over time and create small amounts of alcohol, even if it is
unnoticeable and barely apparent. If I drank grape juice before ten, it
would not be a problem. Thus, drinkin an alcoholic beverage is in fact NOT a
problem at all! And since eating a slim jim IS a problem, then of course
they are not equal problems.
My second argument is more psychological....
Anyone who has seen the movie "The Matrix" knows that our world is merely
a simulation of a past we will never be a part of again until "the one" comes
to save us all. Well, based upon that, the alcohol and slim jims we eat are
not real and are simply computer generated sensations. To quote Keanu
Reeves, "Whoa....The spoon isn't there..." This means that it isn't a "real"
problem since it isn't a "real" form of sustenance. Well, I have proven you
wrong twice in one letter and have beaten your statement of truth into a raw,
bloody pulp of ignorance and shame. Now get to collectin more furniture porn!
To Rebut:
"...get to collectin [sic] more furniture porn?" Yo, you better not be looking at that stuff before 10 a.m.- if you do, you have a problem. And B., We don't collect furniture porn- We make it!
Taking yer second "point" first (and I use the term, "point" loosely), "The Matrix" was just a stupid movie, Einstein. All that bullwash about us livin' in some goofball robo-hell VR world is exactly what the Trilateral Commission wants chumps like you to believe so no pays attention while they sell humanity out to the gray aliens under the guise of "free trade agreements" like the WTO, NAFTA and the EEC. Don't come crying to me when the anal-probe-wielding, human-alien-hybrid shock troops come in their black helicopters to confiscate your guns and bibles! Cuz me and all the other Freemasons will just look down on you from our Dero-built space ark and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Taking yer first point second, you're totally stretching the definition of "an alcoholic drink" here with this grape juice crap. If you don't want it to ferment, put in the damn fridge, Cletus. That's what it's there for! If you want to claim it still ferments a tiny bit, A., you're really pushing it, and B., put in the freezer and make popcicles. Ferment yer way out of that! I guess at least you're getting your vitamin C.

Having a Slim Jim before 10 a.m. is not as bad as having an alcoholic drink
before 10 a.m.
An alcoholic drink impairs your judgment, putting others at risk while eating
a Slim Jim will only make you sick to you stomach.
To Rebut:
Sure, but the mildly nauseous are a risk to others too. They might throw up near, at, or on you. You could slip in their vomit and get hurt. Or worse, it might make you throw up yourself and start that rare event, the chain vomit.
The Van Gogh-Goghs ask everyone to please, eat Slim Jims responsibly. Appoint a designated driver.

A red wolf paws the ground, picking up the scent once again from the
northern winds. It stalks after its prey with a sense of calm urgency, not
wishing to show its extreme hunger through its hurriedness. As it walks
between two pine trees into a snowy clearing, it sees a glint of light
shimmering light in the middle of the snow covered field. The wolf crouches
low to the ground, eyeing the wrapper and the red meat contained
within....its saliva drips to the cold snow and melts away the frost in a
steaming heap of hungered lust. The wolf suddenly pounces, running at a
break neck speed for its helpless prey lying stunned in the clearing....Soon
the wolf is upon it, ripping it to shreds and devouring the dried flesh. It
is 9 AM.....all is silent.....a slim jim wrapper lies dangling out of the
wolf's salivating mouth.....the wolf is happy and content with himself,
knowing he has took in some much needed nourishment. He walks off, following
his old paw prints, as a man in a nearby cabin watches in astonished
surprise, grasping a can of Budweiser in a grip of death. He has been
clutching at his heart for some time now; for upon seeing the wolf he went
into cardiac arrest while at the same time suffocating himself by
accidentally swallowing his beer down his wind pipe. The man crumples into a
heap on his cold porch....the wolf licks his lips.........it laughs to the
bright winter sky as the can of beer rolls from the dead man's fingers,
spilling devilish serum onto the cold, hard ground. The slim jim is gone to
the wolf, but it is far from a problem....it is merely another chance at
survival.....

What is a Slim Jim? I think your debate would have a lot more potential if
it wasn't using American-market-specific products. BUT, I warm to you on the
reasonableness of your 10 a.m cut-off for inappropriate alcohol drinking.
This kind of drinking hour translates across national borders.

What's a Slim Jim?! Oh man, I can hardly bear to sully your pristine innocence with the dark knowledge of things slimjimian. You are better off not knowing, my friend. Promise me you'll never eat one. PROMISE ME!!

who in their right mind would want a slim jim at 10am? having a drink i can
understand, but a slim jim? IM CONFUSED!! maybe the person is hungry..., but
if he's hungry why not get a pizza, or maybe cook some eggs..with bacon..and
make some biscuts. but if they dont have time to cook they can have some
cereal, yummy yummy cereal. i personally like cherrios, not the regular kind,
but honey nut cherios, because that regular kind doesn't taste right, even
though it's better for you and healthier, it tastes a little bland, kind of
like kix. i never understood why people liked kix so much. that reminds me
of my friend joe. he once ate 73 of those little marshmellow peeps,
seriously he did, then he puked out an orange gooey stuff. i think he had his
stomach pumped, im not sure. we used to call him jo jo, from that beatles
song get back, it went like this...jo jo was a man, he thought he was a
loaner, but he knew it couldnt last, jo jo left his home in tuscon arizona
for some california grass... get back... get back .... get back to where you
once belonged. i dont know why we called him that. but cherios are great.
which reminds me once i crapped out a turd that smelled exactly like cherios,
even though i hadnt eaten any for like 3 months, now that's just freaky. i
dont know why i smelled the turd, but it smelt just like cherios, and that
made me hungry so i went out to get some, because i just crapped, so i should
be hungry, right? but they didnt have any cherios at the store, but they did
have slimjims, so i got one and a box of fudgsicles, even though it was in
febuary, i felt like eating fudgsicles. so i went home ate a slim jim and a
couple fudgsicles. and guess what time it was... it was 6pm, so that made no
sense whatsoever, but i would've if it were 10am, but i dont like waking up
so early. i usually sleep till about 12pm. crap i just wasted my time
writing this didnt i? umm....my head hurts now. thinking is bad im confused

I hope you can unfreeze your heart and let the love of the one who died
for you in. What are you living for? Someone loves you unconditionally and
will never let you down unlike the world around you. He healed the blind and
raised the dead, He can heal you and give you life eternal. I'm not great
or holy I'm only a passagener on a journey home trying to let the Lord speak
through me to the world so everyone can join me and come home to the one who
has everlasting love for us. May God bless you and open your heart so you

As for what am I living for, well, I think it mostly has to do with what my Mom and Dad did nine months before I was born. After that, well, I fell in with a crowd of livers and succumbed to their peer pressure.

Wrong... that's a funny word isn't it? Someone once said, "He who ponders the wrong question begets no answer." See, it seems to me that you've gotten your presuppositions all wrong. If niether eating a Slim Jim nor drinking an alcoholic drink before 10 a.m. is a problem, than you're definately wrong.
Www.m-w.com defines "problem" as, a : an intricate unsettled question b : a source of perplexity, distress, or vexation c : difficulty in understanding or accepting.
If you have two entities, which, you say are problems, but aren't, then you are just wrong to say one is a bigger problem. I will prove that a Slim Jim or an alcoholic beverage in the morning are none of the above defintions.
A Slim Jim in the morning is fine a breakfast as any... and everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
An alcoholic drink provides you with about an .005 BAC, the legal driving level is .008 in most states, and in the few with .005 BAC limit, you're still OK since you metabolize at a rate of .001 every 20 minutes. So, a drink in the morning is OK, even if you're driving to work.
So, you're wrong, in that some who does either doesn't have any problem let alone a 'big' one.
The only instance where there may be a problem, is in the case of the alchohol. It tends to kill a few brain cells, and you guys need to spare all that you can... I did love the furniture porno thing though.

To Rebut:
Oy, where to begin, my oh so wrongo friendo?
1. There is nothing funny about the word "wrong." It's a good, solid Anglo-Saxon word with German roots. Shakespeare used it. It means twisted, or wound. The same root word gives us the words writhe, wring, wrest, reverberate, and many more.
2. If neither Slim Jims nor booze before 10 a.m. are a problem, then they are EQUALLY not a problem, and hence agree with our conditional phrase "as big a problem as," even if the size of the problem is null. Zero still equals zero, my friend.
3. If you have to consult a dictionary for the hard words (like "problem"), it might be wise to remember to erase the little study aid you cut and pasted into yer rebuttal when you're done with it.
4. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. All the more reason you shouldn't F*CK IT UP WITH A F*CKING SLIM JIM! "Fine a breakfast as any?" There are grades of soil more tasty than a Slim Jim, and possibly more nutritious. You, sir, have never eaten one. Or you're one of those weirdos who get no pleasure from food and mix everything on their plate into a disgusting homogeneous pile on the theory that "it all goes to the same place anyway."
5. That blood alcohol content crap is all dependent on body weight and metabolism rate. Plus, heavy drinkers build up tolerance. You sir, are overgeneralizing. And condoning drinking and driving?! Shame, sir! Shame! Shame! Shame!
6. Yes, yes, yes, the furniture porn is terrific. Don't try to butter me up now, I'm still mad at you.
Loved it, hunh? Really!? Hey, I didn't say touch me!

So, you think that having a slim jim before 10 am is worse than having an
alcoholic drink before 10 am, eh? Well, you're dead wrong! Let us compare
the differences in the effects brought on by the consuming of either
product. Depending on the alcoholic content of said alcohol, if you drink an
alcoholic beverage before 10 am, you're screwed until the alcoholic effects
wear off. You can't drive anywhere without having the possibility of killing
yourself and others in a wreck, so that crosses out going to work, seeing
your cross town sex slaves and other things. Alcohol makes you sleepy and
kind of lazy. It impairs your judgment, thinking skills and if you design a
website while under the influence, the site will always looks like crap.
Slim jims on the other hand, are spicy and beefy. They wake up your taste
buds which send a message to your body saying "Get the hell up! It's time to do something! Let's get some adrenaline pumping!" They help make you ready to face the day whether your day consists of an hour long drive to see some certain slaves, a meaningless desk job shuffling papers off to other
sections, or drowning yourself in tidal waves of html that send you off such
a sharp precipice, you need a cigarette after each /HTML tag.
I do believe I've proved you wrong! Your welcome! My wealth of intellect is
available whenever I see a poor, confused soul such as the creator of these.

Slim Jims do none of the things you claim- you're thinking of CAFFEINE. Besides, how is being too drunk to work a bad thing?
I can see you have been taken in by the abominable lies of the dotcommies. You have been overworked until you can no longer think for yourself.

Whoa, trying to Zen me out, eh? Well sunshine, You are not in a "someplace," you are in a "here" and a "now." While it is always after 10 a.m. someplace, it is NOT always after 10 a.m. any specific place! Every place has to go through 10 a.m. just like every other place. The time zone people see to that.
What you should have pointed out is that while it is not always after today's 10 a.m., it is always after yesterday's 10 a.m. Thus, the whole statement becomes moot.

Dear Sir,
While I wholeheartedly agree with you in principle, I think there is a
problem with the way that you have worded your statement. You write
that having a slim jim before 10 am is "as big a problem" as having a
drink before 10 a.m. In truth, having a slim jim that early is a MUCH,
MUCH bigger problem. For example, it's a huge social problem. I can
think of lots of people that like a drink in the morning that are a lot
of fun to hang out with. It is impossible to think of a
morning-slim-jim-eater that one would want to hang out with.
And, sure a guy who likes to drink in the morning might be an alcoholic,
but he might be one of those classy, Dean Martin alcoholics (although he
could be one of those Otis, the town drunk types). The slim jim in the
morning guy is probably just Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
So, basically early slim jims: a much bigger problem than early
drinking.
I wish you well.
To Rebut:
Ah, well done, grasshopper. You also have realized that the Slim Jim is a greater enemy to humanity than that lovable scamp, Ole John Barleycorn. If it leads people to the greater truth, then I am happy to be proved wrong! The student has surpassed the master. It is time for you to go into the world on your own! Kick off your chrysalis and shake your wings and fly, baby, fly!!!
(P.S. You forgot about the hilariously entertaining Foster Brooks/loveable lush type of substance abuser. But I'll let it slide since you proved us wrong.)
Okay, I am little disappointed that no one took the moral high road here. Alcohol is bad, you could have argued! It's addictive! It empties pockets, clouds minds, ruins lives and destroys health, you could have said! You could have painted a long and harrowing personal trauma of a life slowly bled white from alcohol abuse. Some brave 12-stepper could have really made us look like a bunch of sad, sad feebs. Good thing they didn't, it really would have killed the mood. Those who proved us wrong, did so by claiming Slim Jims were the greater evil! Now that's the comedy way to do it!
Personally, I think the matter should be settled with a practical experiment. We get some sets of triplets. One eats Slim Jims, the other drinks booze, and we see who pukes first. The other triplet doesn't do anything, he's the control triplet. Whattya talking about?! It's a great experiment! Ah, ta hell with yiz all! And ta hell with ...
Prove Us Wrong!
