| I am continually amazed by the number of wooden actors that robaxacet is able to conjure up for its ad programs.
Certainly by now you would have expected that the wooden children would have grown up and moved out, the dog would have aged remarkably over the time that the wooden people's contract has extended.
Viewing one of the latest ads this evening I was struck by the curiosity of the wooden people. In the ad, the wooden family is preparing to load a boat to go fishing. and they are able to catch a wooden fish.
Here is the conundrum I find myself in..... Given that the adults, children dog and fish are all wooden, and that the dock and boat are also wooden......
Is this a family of resourceful cannibals? Do they use the remains of deceased citizens to support their aquatic adventures?
Should we be supporting the use of cannibals in TV commercials?
I am troubled by TV in a new and exciting way.

I like the concept of open source. I like the idea of collaboration and group ownership. I like the seemingly endless, living cycle that collaboration becomes under an open source model.
I recognize that this idea leans itself better to some ideas than others.
A sculpter might get pissed if everytime he turned around someone else was chiseling his statue. A musician might get pissed if at every concert the audience was amplified and playing along. A pilot might get pissed if a few people came to the cockpit to help him fly on every flight. A parent does not like it when the child decides what is right.
The model works particularly poorly in some situations..... Lynchings, vendettas, revenge-motivated actions are all a form of community collaboration that ends extremely poorly.
The model works particularly well in some situations...... Information gathering, communal knowledge bank, consumer action group, or as extendible software development.
(...and now the point...)
The model would be particularly interesting in some situations.....
- Surgery, "Don't cut that bit" "Why? That is the problem." "NAZI!" - Billboards, "<Corporate slogan>" "Have you tried this <supremely clever idea to radically improve product>?" "New version coming soon....."
- Mass transit, "Everyone who feels we should turn left here stand up." Everyone falls. "Look! wasn't that a good idea, the hospital is this way." - Grovery shopping, "You should buy grapes." "I am alergic to grapes" "NAZI!" "What?" "Grapes are the best ever you !@#$!@#$ NAZI!" "But I don't like grapes" "What are you, gay?" "I can not eat grapes" "You should. They are great." Commmunity as a whole buys grapes for everyone. Man dies. That was fun. Even I am a little confused by the post. But it was fun.
"Everyone who doesn't think so is a NAZI!"

| brrr....
Cold is much much more than a state of mind.
According to all indications it has become a state of life for my world. I suppose I should get used to it.
I hope my neighbor is OK when he melts in July.

A man made a mistake one day of turning his fantasy world into.....

| This is a story about a man.
A short man.
A fat man.
It should be noted here that the man led an uninteresting life. He had no family. He had no friends. He had only his job. His job was accountancy.
It should be noted here that not all accountants are boring, or that the job of accountancy is boring.
One day he was trying to go buy a pair of shoes. He could not fit through the door to enter the mall.
He decided to go to bookstore to buy a diet book. He could not fit through the door to enter the bookstore.
He decided to go to the grocery store to buy the diet food. He could not fit through the door to enter the grocery store.
Then one day the made the doors to the mall double wide doors and he could fit.
This has been story time with the pirate.
