What A Great Idea, Joe, about the Glow-In-The-Dark! Of course! I'll be spam/hyping all the details of the franchise and what we're doing when it's solidified and The Nationwide Organization is assembled. Soon the "First-Class Promo Package" will be made up for Us and the franchisees so it won't be long before there's no more messing around with carton sides, packing paper, paint and glow sticks! I shall have my glow sticks operational by Sunday Nite to prepare for Monday's Open! Joe What A Fabulous Idea! I will order The BigWig NYC Ad Agency to glaze Luminescent Paint on top of the Black Paint of the Letters; and now also ordering some glow'in'the'dark reflectors to glue alongside the letters. The Giant Letters Will Be Two-Sided (a different letter on each side) for economy so Only 48 of them will suffice! The kit will also include giant sturdy trivets on which to place the letters so the lawn doesn't become ruined with brown squares. There will be black ties included to be threaded through small holes in the letters so the wind doesn't blow them off the trivets (not a problem when they lay flat on the lawn, but once up the wind must be remembered). Here's The Surprise: These heavy-duty trivets will also serve as croquet goal signposts...and a special-made-in-England croquet set of goals, mallets, and balls will also be included in the promo/instructional package! This is so the backyard isn't a bore and the tickers aren't blocking summer recreational activities. The Giant Ticker Letters are available in hard plastic for bad-weather longevity, and an extra two featherlight sets of Giant Ticker Letters in a space-age Nerf Material will also be included for the safety of children and pets running around. I thought a good name for This Promo should be "LOAD UP THE TRUCK" because it actually is quiet large and heavy - so it probably will have to be shipped by a smaller carrier and that costs bucks. Storage of The Manipulation Equipment takes up half a garage (or a larger sheetmetal toolshed might do it). It took me all day to polish this design from the original idea; ever since I made the trivets out of wire hangers earlier to keep the CNKT letters I put out there today from ruining the lawn. While I was setting 'em up The Lightbulb Went On In A Cloud Above My Head; so of course I Got Right On It. Any ideas for package design, changeable ticker letters on the mallets to better manipulate the minds of the croquet guests, Subliminal messages on the croquet balls and wickets, etc. would be welcome. The Glow-In-The Dark Aspect was something I had not seen...and I'm sure there will be others too. But we better hurry up. I gotta get this order in soon, as we do like to thunder on the hoof ahead of the pack. Who Knows Who Else Is Reading This Board. Even though its small, you just never know. Manipulate at'cha Later, Back at'cha, Wilma

Here's hoping post #13 "The Tunnel" wasn't a waste of time; if it made someone cluck like a chicken buck buck bucack bwaack buck buck without knowing why then it's got it half right! As you may have guessed, the secret intent for it was to manifest a hypnotic effect around the subliminal ticker manipulations flickering by the repetitons. The old silent surrealist film "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" was the inspiration to try to do the same thing over the internet! If you ever get a chance to see that oldie in a theatre (check the colleges) you'll be amazed to see all the barking dogs and chickens in the lobby afterwards and you might be joining them! I think "The Tunnel" is an Internet First, but did it hypnotize anyone? Now that is the question. Did anyone cluck like a chicken these past couple of days - I know I sure did and I'm the one that wrote it! - "was it good for you too?" There were lots of xmsgix and xcnktx sales before Fridays close, so something was wrong with the placement of the tickers or whatever it was about it that didn't work. But the xgnetx next to pallen in the center seemed to work! So "The Tunnel" needs some refinement, and suggestions as always are appreciated. But its a start. Anonymous
