‘Let My Pharmalot Go!’
23 CommentsBy Ed Silverman // April 19th, 2008 // 9:46 am
Lo, and the Lord sayeth to the Spinmeister: ‘Let My Pharmalot Go!’
But the Spinmeister was a cunning strategist and spoke out of both sides of his mouth. And still he enslaved poor Pharmalot. And so the Lord visited excruciating plagues upon the Spinmeister:
Steve Nissen; Chuck Grassley; Marcia Angell; John Dingell; Harlan Krumholz; Henry Waxman; Sid Wolfe; David Egilman; Jere Beasley and Jerry Avorn.
Yet, the Spinmeister would not relent, and so the Lord slayed the compensation prince in each House of Pills. And finally, the Spinmeister released poor Pharmalot, who took his magic laptop and then wandered the Short Hills of the Garden State in search of the Promised Truth.
But lo, the Spinmeister sent his army of flaks after poor Pharmalot. A mighty babble was heard across the land. Suddenly, the Lord parted the Great Swamp and Pharmalot crossed. A mighty roar followed as the flaks in their sea of chariots were crushed by the roiling waters, their tongues tied forever.
And Pharmalot held a feast in honor of the Lord and to remember the miracle.

Ed, with all respect, I think you need to lay off the Manischewitz.

Advice:
If someone hands you two tablets and says they come from the Big Guy/Gal, make sure you get full disclosure.
Also, don’t take them and call Him in the morning.
And, btw, the Gold Calf is almost certainly industry sponsored.

Whoops. Forgot to add: When you are offered the tablets, ask for samples.

Ed,
Let’s see, Pesach and Pharmalot. How about one more article before sundown? Something spiritual again. It makes good after dinner conversation. Happy Passover!

This is indeed a medical condition that can be treated:

Your list of excruciating plagues would seem to frequently cause damage to the innocent as well as those are deserving.

Happy Passover to all,
The Buddhist that I am understands why this night is so special ;-)
And by the way, Justice. Now that we have the two tablets, I would like to arrange a “speaker tour” - you know, spread the word, so to speak…

I’m thinking you mean FREE samples Justice, loved your comment :-) Ed, didn’t - probably don’t still - entirely understand your post, but clearly saw one message in it.
Happy Passover, as other comments have made it clear it is - and keep up the good work :-)

FME - Excellent idea! We give the two tablets to one group. We give two blank tablets to another group (placebo). Neither reads Lightning so they won’t know who’s got what.
Then we sign on Moses and a bunch of surrogates from the company (I know this guy named Jeremiah) to write it up. We can design it so the folks with the actual tablets both get to Promised Land and lower their LDL. (Eating cactus for 40 years had nothing to do with it; so did other group). The only AE I know is 40 years or restless wandering, but, again, that happened with the group on placebo as well.
It will be easy to spread the news. And I already have an idea for what we do when patent expires.
What a cosmos!
(p.s. The Dalai Lama was in our town today. Unfortunately, I didn’t see him. I was hoping maybe he would move into the old Pfizer installation. Perhaps he’s already there?)
Bless us all!

:-) to FME and Justice.

Justice, it’s easier to have one christened and use the other as a control. Or, circumcise one and leave the other as a control. I suppose a cross-over design (no double-entendre intended) would work too.
I have too much time on my hands.
Justice in Michigan
Thanks, Bob. One of your concepts fits well with our plans post patent expiration. Will send to marketing.
Re: circumcision, that will make double-blinding a bit more difficult. On the other hand, it provides a concept for TenComm XL when the time is right.
Now get that time out of your hands.

Plus a blind(ed) mohel is an unacceptable risk.
Justice in Michigan
Touche! If that doesn’t divide the red c, nothing will.
Bob Freeman
Good one, Justice. If I had a snare drum, I’d give you a rim shot.
Justice in Michigan
Holy Cow! Bob, I hope you’re not spending too much time with the Golden Calf.
Now that Charlton Heston has passed the staff to Ed, we should probably leave it in his still warm hands.
But, as a last act, here is my concept for the caption for next year’s Passover Greeting Card:
PHAROAH NUFF!
Bob Freeman
I’m sending you a virtual rim shot for that one. You’re on a roll.
