Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

For the record, I would love to be MORE in the Iron Grip of Big Pharma. I'd love to be able to give a pill to my daughter that would make it possible for her to grow overnight into a child who is no longer in the 0.002% for height and into the 20% height for age.
I'd love to have a magic fat burning pill that would allow me to eat All the Cheese and lose weight like crazy.
I'd love to have a pill to cure stupidity in others.
Alas.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd love to have a pill to cure stupidity in others.
Yes. Or even a "listen to reason" pill.

those are made by Big Breakfast.
Darn those companies for making somewhat nutritious food available to the masses. A scrap of bread cut with sawdust was good enough for our ancestors. It's just outside agitators who insist that poor people should have a filling meal more than once a day. They should be grateful that the Meal Providers let them eat at all.

Oh, no, no - they're chemically equivalent to Prozac, and you can totally stop your ADs and pop two handfuls of cashews a day and get exactly the same benefits, only now you're free of the iron grip of Big Pharma!
I think I pay less per month for my antidepressants than I would for enough cashews to eat two handfuls a day, so I'm going to stick with Big Pharma.

I suspect Big Cashew.
I live in the heart of Big Almond, so I would believe that.
(It is a STUPID place for a person who is allergic to almonds to live. I know. I own my stupidity in this matter.)
I am SO grateful to Big Pharma for making a pill that actually helps when I think "I have a problem with my brain being missing". FTR

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Now you all are making me hungry! I had a lunch mishap- as you may remember I can order food online from the cafeteria and have it delivered. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza and a salad.
I got a salad, with pepperoni.
I sent it back, but now I have to go find some food. I would have eaten it, but I was being charge $2.50 for the pepperoni.
The delivery person said she wasn't sure, and she asked her manager, and they both thought that's what the order meant (I guess it just comes up 1 pepperoni, 1 salad in their system). In addition, in the system there is actually no way to order anything extra on any salad or put in notes, so the manager wasn't really on the ball either.

Oy, Sophia, what a bummer!

How obnoxious and weird, Sophia!
only now you're free of the iron grip of Big Pharma!
But in the grip of Big Cashew! And you know where cashews are from? OTHER COUNTRIES. Clearly terrorists have told her these lies about cashews, hoping to take over the brains of the American consumer...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought I'd heard all the woo, but cashews = antidepressants is a new one to me. Maybe cashews naturally contain fluoxetine, like morning glories naturally contain LSD!
JZ, your rant was epic. The Papist line made me choke on Mountain Dew.
