More goofy marketing
« on: January 03, 2007, 08:58:52 PM »
In today's mail, I was surprised to be the recipient of a free package of Goody StayPut elastic hair bands, from the fine folks at Goody Products, Inc.  I wouldn't have thought much about it, if the package hadn't been addressed to me specifically.  I gave them to my girls.

I should put one on my head and take a picture to send them.  Too bad my goatee is as long as it was a couple years ago.  I could have wrapped one around it about 15 times and sent a picture of that.

Medic - think you have been the victim of a practical joke?

That would be hilarious!

They would make good shooters!  You can stretch 'em about 2 feet.  The wife said she didn't sign up for anything, so it could be the work of a trickster.

Nike would be a great sponsor for the convention. Instead of Just do it, they would promote, Just Shave It!!!
