Wow, some people just have way too much money and time on their hands.

I wish I had enough money to go throw an Ipod into a really spiffy and expensive looking blender...

It's an advertisement. For $300, his video is being widely distributed across the internet. The distribution is nearly free.

That's probably one of the cheapest advertisements ever made in terms of the number of people it is reaching.

It also succeeds where most other advertisements fail, people actually find it amusing and are passing it along to their friends... That commercial has easily been show to millions of people just by word of mouth, what other commercial has done that that you know of?

I'm having some trouble with an old lady who stole something from me.

Is the Glow Stick named Ron? Just asking.

OKAY THAT'S IT. everybody against the wall. Empty your pockets.

You guys thought I couldn't figure you guys out. I HAVE known this for some time that ron glowstick was the publisher of a Newletter and that the material in the newsletter contained my name spelled out fully and I had a fit. I am sorry but, I used to have a decent job. My name was used about four or five times in several articles some of it funny, some sorta cute, and some real snotty and nasty. I have to maintain my own job and livlihood and I was baically teed off YOU USED my name and made some implication that I didn't like. Everyday at work, a little parade of chinese men would pass by my desk and make tsk tsk noises at me. I had to ask Ron to think of something before I became a CLOWN overnight. TO WIT: While I like to forgive and forget, I am having trouble with this as I have never received an apology. The story about the epee dangling from the ear was cute that was during our training with Ciao, the cute puppy. A different name would have been fine.

I take it you are thinking of going back into the publishing business. This sounds suspiciously like the same things that used to go on in the 1930's and we're in the 2000's. It's too risky to use a real persons name in fiction, always come up with a fake name. Think of Orwell - he always used fake names like Weenie for his time machine chick. Consider these words.

Is it sick that I've been watching these things during lulls at work for at least a month now?

I wonder what happens if I breathe cell phone smoke...?
