dragonlady7Today's Awesome is this:
In the list of dealers I have to contact today, there is one who is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
Her practice?
It is a veterinary chiropractic practice. Which is cool, in and of itself.
But more cool? In fact, Awesome?
Is the fact that it is named...
wait for it...
Animal Crackers.
BWAHAHA.
Unrelated but also awesome:
My building has several companies in it, owned by the same dude. One of the sister companies here makes fake bricks to use in facades. I have just scored me a handful of these. I thumbtacked them up on my cubicle wall.
I am going to try to cadge a whole box of these. Then I'm going to glue them to magnets. Then I'm going to stick them to my fridge.
If all goes according to plan, I will have a brick refrigerator.
How hard would that rule?

Date: 2007-07-25 11:33 pm (UTC)Veterinary chiropractics? Americans.
I'm still boggling at the ad I saw on the side of a bus in Providence for robotic prostatectomy. Who, on seeing that ad, would think "Well, I had been trying to deal with the prostate cancer through radiotherapy and clean-living, but now that my local bus says it can be done by a robot it's coming straight out"? Who buys surgery because the number 20 to the airport says they should?
And the PR meeting at the hospital:
"Bob, we've got enough money for one big bus ad. What's going to really sell us to the public?"
"Something high-tech. Something with robots..."
"Uh, Bob, we've really only got one procedure that uses robots."
"Let's go with that then!"
"Well, ok. You're the image consultant."

Date: 2007-07-26 12:18 am (UTC)The bricks are about 1/8" thick, made of something rubber-like, and yet totally convincing as bricks from the front. They totally rule. I'm going to glue flat magnets to the back.
in re: bus ad: People will advertise anything. This is America.
