Well, you ought to have felt it by now (those custard pies are powerfull). I'm worried that the targetting was so off that a previously undiscovered Amazonian tribe might have had their society somewhat disrupted by a "present from above" of US election material and Custard Pies, and attempted to restructure themselves on that basis.

Either that, of I've seriously overshot and Marc is about to be woken up by his ABM system kicking into overdrive...

I've put the noise part of the alert-system to "mute". It seems to go off at least seven times a day - it was becoming annoying. All these silly people accidentally overshooting their intended targets and inadvertently getting me...poor dears would probably be devastated to find I was the "collateral".

Cheers,

Hmm... this thread is giving competition to the Corrupt-A-Topic thread...

Has anyone noticed the new Chevron commercial posters that feature some yuppie-looking yahoo and text that suggests they are finally considering doing something vaguely "green," like driving less, or turning the lights out when they leave, or "considering a hybrid" (I love that one... "Yup, I considered it, and I bought the Tahoe instead")?

I'm not sure which bugs me the most... the fact that, coming from Chevron, the attempt to persuade us that an oil company thinks "green" is as transparent as air... or the idea that it took recent events for the supposedly intelligent-looking people in the posters to only now start to think "green." Considering that there's nothing those ad-yahoos are considering that I haven't been doing for the past 30 years.

This hits me a lot like cigarette company ads: "It's dangerous to smoke! It's bad for you! Think about that, while you pick up your next case." Anyone else feel as insulted as I do by this?

(Yes... I do this because I'm back at work, and don't want to see anyone's trebuchet targeting solutions worked out for at least the next 8 hours...)

No blinky ads on the page for me right now... just the little text blurbs about... lemme check... readers and ebooks, of all things! And something about noises your phone can make at the bottom.

You're safe for the moment. I'm hypnotised by Pshyrnk's new avatar, and am currently trying to get through to my contact at the Collection to see if it has done something fatal to my brain. So I'm unable to re-punch to Jacquard cards, and anyway I still haven't found out for certain where that sticky mess of election material and custard pies ended up. And the baker is back ordered on custard pies (something to do with a major US order for a TV special....).

I wonder if a Zany Carter Patricia is an antidote to the avatar?

Patricia requested a Chocolate Zany Carter, and Marc's Party Organization decided to name it after her. I'll have a Patricia ZC too please ..... ANYthing chocolate has gotta be good!
