D'OH, Lousy Best Buy!

["Josh Messerly (Chemistry stud.) " <messerly@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let me tell you a little story.  It is a sad tale about a happy little
chemistry student.  He was a busy little fellow. He had many things to do
being a chemistry student.  When he found out that his favorite band was
putting out some of it's "hidden" material it recorded for a strange
entity called the BBC, he was very happy.  His favorite band had broken up
when he was two years old.  He had just learned the joys of their live
recordings by dealing with some really cool people on something called an
e-mail list.  These people liked to grow trees now and again.  The student
really liked these trees.  
	He also heard that two places that sold this "hidden" recording
were offering a special treat with the album.  One was a mysterious tower
that made records.  It only was accesable to him through the net.  The
poor student was afraid of this strange place and didn't have a magic card
of credit to order this album with a special treat.  
He also heard about a second way to get something special with his album.
It was to travel many miles to a magical store that sold strange and
wonderful electronic devices. The poor chemistry student waited two
months to buy the wonderful "hidden" recording. He was waiting for a
chance to travel to this magic store.  
	He and his friend finally took the trip.  The student's excitement
grew as he saw the big yellow sign heralding that he was drawing near to
the mystical place.  Rushing to where the recording was kept he beheld
what he had rode in a horseless carriage for sixty minutes to get. Picking
up the plastic case, he looked at the list of what the small containter
held.  A look of horror replaced the joy that had filled his face but a
few moments before.  There was no special treat. 
	His friend later recounted what happened next to others after they
returned from their trip. The friend said that he had been
looking for some new dance music when a noise caught his attention.  It
made everyone in the area pause and direct their gaze to the sad scene
that had formed in the "best sellers" isle.  It was a single sound that
summed up all the anguish that the till-then happy chemistry student felt.
He had waited two months. He had traveled many miles.  He could but
express one thing....................................................

P.S. For those of you who don't like stories, there is no bonus CD at Best
Buy.  Was there ever one? I don't know.
