: I sent the following mail to EVERYONE I know (most of our company), and a whole mess of folk I do not. If the logic oof AMWAY salesmen, or that shampoo commerical is to be trusted, it might just help.
: Anyway, here is the mail I sent:
: SUBJECT:Be a hipster like your coolest acquaintance, Josh Dobbin
: ***********
: Remember when crazy old Russian Erno Rubik offered you an in on some ridiculous puzzle-thing that looked like nothing more than a segmented kiddie block toy?...You sneered at him and told him that he stank of vodka and whores, and told him to peddle his wares elsewhere.
: Then everybody and his brother were twisting that hell-cube everywhere from board-rooms to playgrounds . Silly, silly you.
: Howzabout that time that crafty Belgian Peyo showed you napkin-doodles of shirtless little men who lived in mushrooms, and explained to you that the bearded one was the "poppa" and that a big man wanted to cook and eat them all? What did you tell him then? As I recall, you told him he was a perverted Frenchman, and that the ONLY possible thing to make that idea stupider was to have them all be blue-skinned.
: Oh, you insufferable fool.
: I am offering you a shot at redemption. Join the bandwagon NOW, and be a charter member of the Cool Club.. finally experience the thrill of being in with the " in crowd* " .. Watch CLERKS: THE CARTOON on ABC at 9:30 EST.
: Never you mind the critics.. Those same hyenas panned SOUTH PARK and the SIMPSONS. Consider this email a subtle form of peer pressure. In fact, in a world wherein I might receive the "whaaaassssuuuuuuuup?!" AVI on the order of 6 times per day, I ask you to forward this to any who might find it of interest. Do it.. Whassamatta? are you chicken?
: **************
: TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY MAY 31
: ABC 9:30 est, Following the DREW CAREY SHOW.
: Like Mr. T said after the superbowl.. BE THERE.
