Oh The Horror!View MessagesClass Action Suit against REI?? “Anyone interested in filing a class action suit against REI for causing huge psychic trauma? OH Lord get him out of there!!!!! HELP!!! I just got their newsletter and read the piece on setting the biological clock... and I know I'll have nightmares... If you haven't read the piece... I'm warning you leave the thread unless you are incredibly strong... braver than I... OK here's the part that has scared me for life (http://rei.com/email/articles/resetinner.html?prgm=gm) "The Sleep Regulator THINK OF YOUR body clock as a droning New Age tune. Circadian rhythms are the song's steady drummer, an internal Yanni playing two important beats a day: an initial snare tap in the morning that causes the body's temperature to rise, signaling you to wake up, and a bass thump as night falls, triggering a drop in temperature and the production of melatonin to make you drowsy. Ideally, the beat should remain consistent-so you sleep and wake at the same time each day. But when work, travel, stress, and car alarms change the beat daily, sleep suffers. According to Youngstedt, a regular routine of outdoor exercise will keep your internal Yanni in line: Exposure to sunlight in the afternoon will delay sleepiness in the evening, and the exercise will help cue your body's fatigue at approximately the same time each day." Maybe... just maybe if I lead a life of tremendous sin and depravity I can become so completely demon possessed and they my inner Yanni will depart...” 3:40:28 PM 1/30/03 “Inner Yanni?! Dear God!” 3:41:30 PM 1/30/03 “You need the new TerraQuest, ped!” 3:41:59 PM 1/30/03 “I don't think I have an inner Yanni. More like an inner Henry Rollins.” 3:42:34 PM 1/30/03 “Yanni SUCKS!!!!!! 8)” 3:42:40 PM 1/30/03 Oh......................My....................Gawd “We all have an internal YANNI??? Now THAT'S scarey!” 3:43:09 PM 1/30/03 “LMAO! I'm in tears just thinking about it!” 3:43:59 PM 1/30/03 “Hey, could be worse: how about an inner John Tesh?” 3:44:46 PM 1/30/03 “I don't even get it. Seriously. What?” 3:45:02 PM 1/30/03 3:46:21 PM 1/30/03 “How about an inner Lawrence Welk?” 3:50:27 PM 1/30/03 “Ped is battling his inner-holistic new-ageness. Next stop: Hemp clothing and canvas shoes!” 3:58:06 PM 1/30/03 “Wow Newgirl... you are strong and well defended. I gather you are not even slightly creeped out by the idea of having a Yanni within you?” 3:58:57 PM 1/30/03 “That's a little personal, isn't it, Ped? I mean, a woman who is infatuated with a guy named Ty... Well nevermind.” 4:00:43 PM 1/30/03 “yeah... I was trying to be careful about how I put that...” 4:11:38 PM 1/30/03 “I shot my inner Yanni and made out with my inner Linda Evans.” 4:13:54 PM 1/30/03 “Eeewww Geo! Linda Evans! She's a shriveled fig by now! Nope, doesn't date you at all!” 4:15:43 PM 1/30/03 “Tree: Not on the Big Valley re-runs she ain't.” 4:18:49 PM 1/30/03 “I shot my inner Yanni a long time ago. He hasn't lived with her for years. The outer Yanni that is.” 4:20:33 PM 1/30/03 “this thread is a YAWNni” 4:21:31 PM 1/30/03 “Inner Yanni??!?!?!?! REI said this?!?!? Jesus H. Christ!!!! That's a 500 cool point deduction for REI! Long live Campmor!!!” 4:28:19 PM 1/30/03 REI is heading down the crapper “And a' now for alittle a' dance with a' Bobby and 'a Sissy! An a one-a, an a two...” 4:35:13 PM 1/30/03 “Hey.. Uhhh... What's wrong with Yanni? It's not like we're talking Kenny G or something...” 4:54:48 PM 1/30/03 “Hey Bobo, nice webpix!” 4:57:56 PM 1/30/03 “I think I'm going to be violently ill.” 5:12:40 PM 1/30/03 Inner Yanni?!! “JUST GET HIM OUT!!! Please?” 5:21:15 PM 1/30/03 “don't blow chunks tilt! it'll set off a chain reaction of hurl which not even matt could stop” 7:56:43 PM 1/30/03 “I guess I don't have an inner Yanni. I didn't get the article. I'm stupid-extra today. (I meant it to be switched around like that.)” 9:32:26 PM 1/30/03 “But seriously... who will join the class action suit?” 7:00:36 AM 1/31/03 Count me in “I had nightmares all night.” 8:13:25 AM 1/31/03 “frivilous lawsuits are the bane of our exsistan........wait......will i get free gear? yes? OH HELL YEAH! I'M IN!” 8:20:08 AM 1/31/03 “If there are any 'inner Yannis' around, I say call in the exorcist! I guess Yanni possession would include blowing chunks of goat cheese mixed with a crisp chardonnay or somethin'?” 8:28:58 AM 1/31/03 “gross, Tilt!! :-D” 8:32:41 AM 1/31/03 “tofo hurl! EEEeeEEwwwww” 8:33:28 AM 1/31/03 “At least someone http://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/artartis/yanni.html" target="_blank">is working on a cure.” 9:04:50 AM 1/31/03 “you know, off the top of my head, i have no freakin' clue what Yanni sounds like.” 9:06:29 AM 1/31/03 Yanni? “Have Tarpy tape record you singing in the shower!” 9:08:59 AM 1/31/03 9:09:23 AM 1/31/03 9:10:54 AM 1/31/03 “i hope you're talking to me.
