Just exactly how do you get Gatorade Fierce Berry beverage out of beige carpet?

I ask only because the dumb fucks over at Target Visa Card Management called me about my account (I've scheduled a payment to come out tonight via the web and it's not due until next week!) to solicit some stupid website and in my haste to tell them just exactly when the payment was coming out of my checking account, I kicked over a 32oz cup of the red beverage. Of course because I was on the phone with this guy and wanted to get him to leave me alone, I answered his questions and then hung up but then had to hunt down the key for our storage closet out in the hall so I could get to the Green Machine to suck up all the 'rade. I think I spent most of the afternoon and the entirety of "Center Stage" working on the bright red stain. I went to Targhetto and bought some Bissel pretreater for deep cleaning as well as some Resolve Spot stuff...still slightly pink in that spot.

I guess it helps that the lighting isn't very good in the apartment. There's a chance that no one will notice the stain. Then again, there's always the chance that EVERYONE will notice the stain.

Maybe we'll get a rug sometime. Soon.
