@Aegis, I wasn't going to mention you. I didn't want to warp the hero worship that at least one vibrant hair has for your corrupt cranium.

umm... Thanks?

You're welcome. And when that hair comes of age and realizes what its parent is like, and comes running to me out of horror and shame, don't worry. I'll give it a first-class ticket to anywhere else in the world, and mail you the invoice.

But of course! As a parent, you'll want to pay for its start in life, won't you? And I won't even tell it a word about your past. I'll allow the hair to discover all that on its own.

This has little to do with the subject, but all this talk about kids made me think of a great Calvin and Hobbes I once saw:

Calvin asks his father for something. the response:

"Calvin, I've read that by the age of 18 a child will have cost his parents around100,000 dolars. You have gotta ask yourself, is that a gift or a loan?"

@VD, I have absolutely no problems with this--except that there's a store policy of not favoring SPAM or COMM. This also means leaving out the names of particularly famous figures in SPAM and COMM history, such as Lord Ignatius Weasel and Il Conte de Waverly. If you can agree to this *within the place,* whatever your convictions outside, I'd be happy to make you Supreme Leader of Marketing. You even get your own jewel-encrusted, 24K gold pointer with pearl filigree.

I changed it--tell me what you think.

Points at everyone in the FPASE with new jewel-encrusted 24k gold pointer with pearl filigree.
This is cool.

Thanks. I make 'em in my spare time, when not tranking telemarketers and feeding them to rabid minks.

As to your marketing endeavor: it looks good. Consider yourself in.

Thanks, Fable, Just between you and me, I stole most of that copy from the White Castle website. It just seemed to *work*.

It was probably the only thing worth stealing from a White Castle, @VD. You are to be commended on your taste.

Hey, I'm a classy kind of gal!

This, I never doubted.

So what do you think we should do first, to attract business? Any ideas?

@fable-Is the bartender post still vacant??(now, this does not imply that I'm interested in becoming one....perhaps you'll offer me a job which does not require me spending too much time in here

)

Why certainly, @Brink! You're welcome to have your old job back. I hope we'll see more of you and your remarkable occult propensity with alcoholic beverages.
