My Ped Eggs haven't even arrived, but already I'm unhappy. Ordering the Ped Egg was a nightmare. The process began normally enough. Below is part one (I'm still sick and sporting my "flu beard"):
After I'd given my credit card information, things took a turn. This next part is long, so I understand completely if you don't have the patience to make it through:
I didn't crack under the pressure from Ped Egg. And don't worry, I'll be polite once it shows up. But if the product is as obnoxious as the sales job, then all bets are off!

16. Aw Mo,
Given the Grammy wins and your "No No No," I couldn't resist.
I wanted to order the Ped Egg
I thought go go go.
My feet are cracked, but when they look smack
You WILL know, know, know.
I ain’t got the time
To deal with crap on my phone line
Just wanted to order the Ped Egg
I thought go, go, go.
I wish it would ship right away
Don’t need shipping delays
So for another nine bucks, nine bucks
I can rub my soles in two, three days.
Didn’t want the Platinum Pro
or some Lifetime quid pro quo
She tried to push another product
I said no, no, no
Yes my feet are cracked, but with all this flak
I don’t know, know, know?

20. He'll use Ben Gay, dammit!

21. Remind me to never get a massage from Mo - apparently he plays fast and loose with the lubrication....
Gabrielle at 2:51PM on Feb 11th 2008
22. Poor Mo. OMG, I felt for you! That's why I just HATE calling those numbers to order something; they always want to add something to your order. What a rip-off! Next time, try pushing the 0 to talk directly to an operator ...or wait until the product comes out at CVS pharmacy. Hope you have recovered from this horrible experience.

23. Damn, JG beat me to it!
Here's my version anyway...
"Ped Egg" by Mo Rocca
They tried to make me upgrade my ped egg
I said No, No, No!
Yes I want the egg, but please don't beg or
You won't get my dough, dough, dough!
I ain't got the time
And my order as placed was fine
She tried to make me upgrade my ped egg
I said No, No, No!
I'd rather be at home with the flu
But I ain't got 70 days
Cause there's nothing, nothing you can offer me
That I can't get from the drugstore
Didn't get the earrings jist
Because my birthstone is not amethyst
They tried to make me buy some earrings
But I said No, No, No!
Yes I want the egg, but please don't beg or
You won't get my dough, dough, dough!
I ain't got the time
And my order as placed was fine
She tried to make me upgrade my ped egg
I said No, No, No!
The woman said, let's go ahead here
I said, how presumptuous
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my mind
So I always keep some stress relief near
Said, I just think you’re depressed
Got screwed on a ped egg like the rest
They tried to make me upgrade my ped egg
But I said No, No, No!
Yes I want the egg, but please don't beg or
You won't get my dough, dough, dough!
I don’t ever wanna buy this again
I just, ooo, I just wanted the egg
But I'm not gonna spend 10 weeks
Just waiting around for my ped egg
It’s not just my pride
It just happened when this phone call died
They tried to make me upgrade my ped egg
But I said No, No, No!
Yes I want the egg, but please don't beg or
You won't get my dough, dough, dough!
I ain't got the time
And my order as placed was fine
She tried to make me upgrade my ped egg
I said No, No, No!

24. Poor Mo.
Don't worry, it will all be worth it when the Ped Egg comes in. They are disgustingly satisfying.
I agree w/ No. 8, be sure to check your statements and invoices very carefully.
What's more annoying, computer-generated recordings or companies outsourcing customer service centers to foreign countries with employees who speak very little English???

25. Aw Finn,
3000 miles and three time zones apart
and there we are.
Just when we finally had these folks convinced we were two different people.
Nice Job, my friend!

26. Let's just hope I don't relapse (or drive my neighbors nuts) from singing these brilliant lyrics! (I wonder if Amy Winehouse has chapped feet?)
Mo Rocca at 4:08PM on Feb 11th 2008
27. Mo
Who does the Grammy go to? FINN or JG? I just don't know, know, know.....Does the winner get a gold Ped Egg?
Just a heads up... the black eyeliner makes your lashes fall out...OH no,no,no!

28. Now we know what Mo smelled like when he went to Michael Moore's event. In keeping with the health care theme, he generously slathered himself in Ben Gay!!
Ben Gay - the new Old Spice!
Gabrielle at 5:11PM on Feb 11th 2008
29.
I LOVE the smell of Ben Gay-I know...
JG and Finn-After singing the new lyrics, Amy Winehouse just snorted all the ped egg shavings!
oddly, they appeared to normalize her.
