Maynard James Keenan of Tool Wine

A couple of months ago Maynard James Keenan came to the Whole Foods on River Street and signed bottles of his wine to many, many individuals who camped out in line for hours on end in the vain hope that he would emerge topless from the produce section belting "Lateralus". Anyway, I have a bottle of the 'Chupacabra' signed by MJK that I would like to sell before I move to Oakland. $35 OBO!

taking time off, of course. i just mean taking basic care of yourself; ie, going to the doctor to make sure it's a cold and not swine flu (perfectly do-able around most retail hours). Whole Foods employees used to do that frequently; the CEO who has 'saved the company $14 million a year' has pretty much guaranteed that until you HAVE to go to the doctor, you won't. He instituted it about 5 years ago, 6 months after taking over as CEO. It's saved the company a ton, and their employees see the doctor 27% less frequently than they did before.

Did you know that the CEO used to be a liberal Democrat when he was young and starting his company? Check Wiki...
