I’m gonna go with….Jesus?
pile:
Basically, what brand (company, product, person, any entity that holds a brand identity) do you think gained awareness the fastest. Reblog your answer, if you’re so inclined. TBC Monday (taking a snowboard trip to Stowe this weekend).
I’d have to guess some kind of cigarette. Marlboro maybe?
I’m going to go with either a car company or a gun company (whoever is behind ak-47 for example).
This person so utterly rules. I don’t even have to read the post. I just have to read their handle to laugh every time.
In the elaborate memorization scheme that allows me to remember written Japanese characters, Greg Kinnear plays the part of “the gay uncle”.

Story of my life. I don’t have a sweet tooth, I have a sweet dentition.
So far today I have eaten:
- Several large spoonfuls of Ben & Jerry’s Cinnamon Bun ice cream. I’d say pretty much a scoop worth.
- A smallish piece of lemon cake left over from Cake Day. It was OK yesterday. Today? Basically awful.
- Five Samoas, the delicious coconut, caramel girl scout cookie. I stole two of them from Damon’s drawer and had three more off some secretary’s desk.
I have literally had nothing but cookies, cake and ice cream today. It’s like if you let a five year old decide what they were going to eat for the day.
Is it any wonder that I have a screaming headache? I need a vegetable.
Yeah, like why am I punching your knuckles with my knuckles? that doesn’t feel good nor does it foster a sense of trust (i.e., real handshake). Are we in on the same joke? Are we in the same tribe, bro’? There are some traditions that are meant to stay (like in Morocco you greet someone by placing your hand on your heart—i think. you don’t EVER shake with your left cuz that’s the hand you wipe your ____ with).
What’s even worse is when I go to shake said dude’s hand and he gives me the no-mainstream-handshake-for-us-man-we-are-gonna-do-the-jazz-
tobacco-version-where-i-turn-yours-into-a-squirrelly-arm-wrestle-redux
-handshake. eww. lemme go take a shower and when i come back why don’t you just shake my hand like a normal person, slick.
And then there are the cats who when you come up to them to shake their {opposite} hand they pull the “no, see i’m carrying this sketchbook and i’m just gonna give you my left hand cuz it makes me feel more cool” bullshiz. next time some cat does this I’m gonna slap them with a wet hand towel. No, Jacktart, you swap whatever you are holding and give me the CORRECT hand. This isn’t a choice. This is something that goes back to whatever/whoever made our hands and gave us the ability to fit one hand into another with perfection.
Hey dudes, let’s pick a hand-based salutation standard and stick to it. I’m tired of punching your open palm or catching your fist.
1. Play with daughter
2. Go to paint store to demand free paint
3. Plan a photo shoot for March.
4. Do some grafik designs.
5. eat some dopeass Riesens chocolate.
6. oversee house fixing.
7. Call the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.
7b. Email students.
8. Look in the mirror and ask myself an unusual question out loud like “Who are you and what are you doing in my skin?”
I have worked on the computer a lot for the last ten years. My right hand got some symptoms some years back so I started using my left hand and took a course on ergonomics. I now mostly use the left digits. When I need to do something more precise like some grafik design then I switch back (like just now). Who cares?
