Oh my.

Hell of a business plan there, Einstein.
There I was, sitting at home fretting constantly over how many termites there were in my house, how much my ducts needed cleaning, my pipes required a good rooting and my roof needed to be replaced through some brilliant insurance scam.
And then, you came to my door. My friend. No, my savior.
As I saw you walking across first my neighbor's lawn, then mine, I prayed. No, I didn't pray that you would pick up the Dr. Pepper can you nobly threw next to my driveway. No. I prayed to the skies above that you, gallant soldier, defender of all that is good and just in the world, would hang your golden info sheet on my doorknob.
Because I didn't want to look on the internet, or call friends, or heaven forfend use the phone book to solve my bug, pipe and roof problems. No. I wanted my hero.
And when I saw you had eschewed the standard doorhanger -- tip of the marketing spear, you -- and taped your message to my door, I thought only of your marketing brilliance, not the time I'd spend getting the tape off the glass.
And that giant Better Business Buerau (sic) symbol on the letterhead? That sold me. I don't care how much it looked like a photocopied parsnip. I'm yours. I swooned at Buerau, but you had me at "Better."
I'm signing all my checks and leaving them taped to the doorknob for you. Einstein.
Oh my. What a grouch.

1. Hey, at least he didn't nail those ****ing obnoxious spam signs on the telephone poles all over your town.
In case anyone's forgotten, Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, once went on a violent rampage in a city in northeastern Massachusetts, angrily ripping down hundreds of GARAGE SALE signs from telephone posts, yelling and screaming and waving his fists and frothing from the mouth, scaring the excresence out of passers-by, some of whom called the cops.

2. I have a loud angry-sounding border collie (marshmallow actually) I use to ward off such intruders
Works for Jehovah Witness sorts too!

Robb has an awful lot of free time to type all that out. Oh and BTW, he was sitting around thinking how he could get free home maintenance through an insurance scam??
Some people (and I have no use for them) have to be angry about something ALL THE TIME. How do they even live like that?

Yes, he did.

I live in the city where the chant is to keep it weird and, yes, this is the same town receiving a sum of money from the stimulus for a frisbee park.
We have weird people here - that's for sure - but I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone doing quite what you described Chief Red Bull doing. Maybe I speak too soon - we do have a transvestite who everyone knows and he ran for mayor. It was close.
:rotf:

Yes indeed he did. And bragged about it on DUmore (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6547091) than (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3753524) once (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4697194) - even going to the point of saying he got the person who put them up fired.

Well, I guess that's his claim to fame. WTG Redstone.
Maybe we can find a Budweiser Men of Genius ad dedicated just to him.

Or we can write one. "Mister Way Too Much Cologne Wearer" is too good for him.

Thanks, LC, sir.
There's three links in LC's post, in case no one noticed.
I was looking for the one I remembered, as the one I had seen didn't seem the right one, but there's different links under LC's "more" and "than" and "once."
