Todays post is brought to you by the elements carbon, hydrogen and Lego and by the number root minus one.
Someone once asked me what it was it worth to me to become a corporate sell-out, at the time they were referring to Tescos and their bonus points scheme, I replied "A bottle of vodka" since that's conveniently what my points total came up to.
Marketing may be evil, but when you get money off stuff you were going to buy anyway then you begin to feel the lure of the dark side. So I'm pretty happy my bonus scheme included two coupons; one for vodka, one for orange juice; do they know me or what?
It is a very good thing I don't drive like I dance, especially to Prodigy songs.
Pirates of the Caribbean and Princess Bride were on at Film Club last night, yarrrr. Swashbucklin' pirate-tastic. yarrr.
Now to get this work day over as fast as possible, it must go, shoo, fly away little day, fly freeeeeeeeeee. Evening must hurry up, yesyesyes. Poing!

Aye, me lad?

I'll think that wasn't funny when I'm awake. Maybe.

On selling out

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Once, standards and beliefs were nothing more than things that people lived and died for. However, one day, some savvy person realised that beliefs and standards had value in the marketplace - people will pay for something to believe in, and boy will they pay good.
At that moment, standards and beliefs stopped being purely personal and became commodities like any other.
Selling out is no longer a bad thing. Selling out is aspirational. Join me for a better life.

Tesco: Well, they're using your bonus card to find out what you like and then give you money off your preferred goods so you buy even more. Sometimes, these are for higher quality products so you spend more but you think "Ooh, 20p off, I can afford this now" although it'll be 20p more than your usual choice.

Driving like dancing. Gods, that would be bad in my case, as well. ;o)

Pirates: Saw a car the other day with ARR as the last three registration letters. ;o)
