Getting people to spend money is pretty easy.

I have this idea were restaurants give out free calendars, the twelve month variety. Each month features a picture of a product they produce. I though of McDonald's (I promise I have never received any compensation from McDonald's for this blog) for this idea. That is a year round ad placed inside homes. When ever the person looks at what day it is, they are being tempted by deliciously fattening food. The Calendars could also drive in sales immediately, by giving a calendar away with a purchase of a meal. What is more convenient going to the mall/drug store going through all the dog and pony pics or driving threw a McDonald's? The calendars could also include coupons for that current month, so to entice the buyer to keep it around, and the most convenient place to keep a calender around? The Wall.


The Wall by Pink Floyd, get it.

Letter to the Editor (me and only me)

Strange

Do you know what happens in a rush, my x's, y's, v's and lambda's all look the same. Like wise my u's and v's look similar yet this does not logically follow u's looking like x's, they still have some definition.

In a rush, which happens not often for me, I tend to do odd things. On math tests I use b or sometimes p substitution. I avoid integration by part at all costs, if I do it is with different letters.

Math people like to use u and v a lot of times in the same function or equation right next to each other. That makes terrible sense. Maybe this is why there are so many errors when naturally computing thousands of problems. I could theorize that some of the errors came from confusing a letter with another. By changing the lettering of these critical eqs could prevent these errors and lot time and most importantly, money.

True or false, if you use a 'w', 'x', or 'q' in Turkey, that is grounds for imprisonment.

For that statement to be true all part of it must be true. The letter, the country, its spelling, the terms, and generality. The more vague I make the statement the more true it becomes. I change the specific letters to letters, and Turkey to eastern European country. This happens in the real world (as if this blog was not the real world, fuck you writer, -editor) as a vague statement becomes what is status quo. People do not want what is not true, so fact checkers make things more and more less precise.

It smells like a McDonalds sausage biscuit with egg. But it's three fifteen in the afternoon.

It smells good.


And yes I did listen to the nrp piece on turkey both the place and the bird

Waxing Frozetic

Haiku cannot be;
In the cold where nothing is;
They stay at home, warm.

Diurnal cycle
You tease me with great sunlight
But sneak away heat.

Windows collect air
Containing moisture packets
Freeze over to frost.

The all white landscape
Won't let me own a home there
Likeness, not the same

Hipsters are like snow
Inspire to be different
All the same color

Failing to stand
Grass blades pushed closer to earth
Must bare cold winter

Born in turbulence,
The snowflakes first appearance
Falls to the ground, melts

Warmth within watching
Cold climate conveys callow
Nursing notes.. nothing.

The Importance of Abberviating Words to Shorten Important Time Wasted.

I hate that commercial by the usps (united states postal service), the one were they hold a seminar telling small business owners how great and convenient their service is. The thing I hate about that commercial is that the business owners at the seminar are not asking any questions. The owners just stand up and and blurt out a comment about shipping. This makes me respond in two ways. The first is that the USPS people are being rude in not letting the commenteers finish their statements. Or second, that the owners are either too stupid to make a question out of their statement or have so much self-importance that only their view of shipping matters and only their outlook on the world matters.

If I were a presenter, I would respond to each non question by saying, "And?" (with an upwards inflection at the end so they know it is a question). But that would probably make me a jerk who thinks that people who only confronts others on their comments and opinions to try to prove them that they are wrong, are shitheads.

They are shitheads. The Ironing.
