WORK EMAIL OF THE MONTH
(this is email, START AT THE BOTTOM!)

TED: That's sweet!  That picture of the girl peeing her pants would go well with that tag line.

STEVE: check it out now   http://www.oocities.org/newsboobs/

T: This is exciting.  I'll try to take up slack in other areas since you'll obviously be in charge of technical aspects.

S:   http://www.oocities.org/newsboobs/

T:   Any of them are fine with me.
 
S:  we got it. newsboobs.  next we have to pick the type of ads we want on our  site.
 
T: boobstuff   bigboobnews   boobboys   boobaholics anonymous   booble   booboos  
 
S: boobtube?   boobnews?   newsboob?   boobfile?
  
T: Something that will be found on a lot of searches.  Boobs?  (referring more to the authors than the content)
   
S:  something catchy.  melons taken too.   www.oocities.org/interesting
   
T:   Or 9mm.  Or Outgoing.  Or Service.  Or Document.  Or Project.  Or PT-L799PWUL.  (all things/words on my desk)
    
S:  perfect.  i'll see if we can get it.
    
T:  What about "Flyboy"?
     
S: we need to come with a catchy yahoo id to use.  i guess the link will be "www.oocities.org/________"
     
T: Sounds good to me.  My first column, and hopefully "What a Night" Feature, will come from the cruise.
      
S:  what do you think     http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn2/HowItWorks4_Free.html
      
T: I watch Larry Sanders on Bravo infrequently.
       
S: I saw a couple of those in MI -- chuckle fests.  And they do Larry Sanders show reruns on UPN and Bravo now, also hilarious.  I used to get a free web page with my prontomail account but it's gone now.  researching though.
       
T: Tommy was telling me about The Larry David Show - the guy who did Seinfeld with... Seinfeld.  We were laughing out loud just from talking about it.
        
S: This is actually starting to take off.
        
T: And we all rate restaurants.  KFC, Taco Bell, LJS and  JCI included.
         
S: Clayton's contribution will be excerpts from various conspiracy articles he emails me every day. My contribution -- movie reviews, a column, photos of whatever weird stuff I find.  Ted's contribution -- a regular column where you interview Punky Brewster types, and a "Man What A Night" column  where  you retell some sort of exploits.
         
T: Probably not.  As long as he gets credit, and knows we don't make a dime off it.
          
S: magazine sounds better.  think Mark will mind if we copy and paste his articles into our's?
          
T: Once a month.  It'll be more of a magazine I guess. We can do fake interviews with semi-celebrities.  First will be with Soleil Moon  Frye.
           
S: Just kidding about that.  How frequently do you think you can  churn out an article?
           
T: Nice attitude.  I still wish we'd been able to  go there.
            
S: we'll call it "Melons" and it will be to online newspapers what Melons was to bars.  And will probably last just as long.
            
T: no, I thought you'd do it.
             
S:  Sounds good.  Do you know how to make an online paper?
             
T: What if we started an online paper, and sent it around to all of our family and friends?  We could get Rick to add stuff  too.
              
S:  I wish I had a column in a paper.  Not sure what I'd write about. Maybe your cruise
              
T: You definitely have to watch the news for the time of sunrise during the winter.  I  know what you mean about the being alone and seeing /hearing stuff.  He's really a nice guy - and funny. Wish there was a way for  you to meet him.

Really good, the stuff about forced conversation and not hearing and seeing as well when others are around was dead on in my life. The column reminded me of the one time I've tried  to see the sun rise, at the Grand Canyon a couple years ago.  Only I went outside way too early and was freezing in the dark for like an hour before the action finally started.

WEIRD BUT TRUE
Hooters says: Women are NOT objects!!
by Bob LaChampagne

Here's something weird, but true:
Last month I planned to partake in my annual ritual of watching World Wrestling Entertainment's presentation of The Royal Rumble.  (The Rumble is a pay per view show in which thirty men battle for the right to appear in the title match at Wrestlemania.  None of this is important to the story, though.)

The important part is that this year I planned to watch The Rumble at Hooters -- And not for the reason that immediately comes to mind.  No I'm not a pervert, I'm just cheap.  Whereas trashy hole-in-the-wall establishments like Dannys and Big Johns charge $5 cover ($8 at Wings N Things), Hooters advertised no cover charge. 

So the day of the big event came, and as I was about to head out the door, my buddy Kevin called from the Sugar Land Hooters with terrible news: "Uh, they're not showing it."  I made a few calls and found out (from a waitress), that the Hooters corporation decided the WWE Wrestling shows were too distasteful and offensive towards women.  Let me say that again:  The Hooters corporation decided the WWE Wrestling shows were too distasteful and offensive towards women.  HUH?  Isn't "Women are Objects" the very theme that drives the Hooters business?  The very reason men sit on those uncomfortable stools for hours at a time on a perfectly sunny Sunday?
But that's what the girl on the phone told me -- "
We wont be sponsoring it no more" with a nice bit of "we're not stooping to that level" tone in her voice, betrayed only by the shorts that were probably riding halfway up her ass.

Weird, but true.

Epilogue:  So I went to Big Johns, paid $5 cover, had a nice plate of wings and sat on an uncomfortable stool for hours at a time.  The bartender seemed like a nice guy, but the waitress really wasn't all that.
