This is My Halloween Costume
I love Halloween. I buy boxes and boxes of chips and candy well in advance - eat most of it - then go out and buy some more.
Treating the tykes is great fun, tricking the teenagers (then treating them) is more fun still and running up and down the stairs enroute to the front door all night is a great work-out.
That said, I’m not a big fan of wearing Halloween costumes. The mask I wore while shelling out last year was suffocating. It was also nearly impossible to see anything, so running up the stairs became ‘tripping’ up the stairs more often than not.
So when we were invited to a Halloween party this year - I knew I’d have to do something different - and CafePress came to my rescue again with the This is my Halloween costume Baseball Jersey shown to the left.
OK, I know it’s a costume cop-out, but I plan to add an orange feather boa to dress it up a bit.
Whattya think?

Alive or Dead?
OK, I thought I’d seen ALL of these ‘send us your contact details so you can receive your funds‘ spam emails from Nigeria and the like, but this one almost made me wish I’d been wearing Pampers at the time I read it.
I said ‘almost‘.
Enjoy! Read more

ShoeMoney Parody Site Hilarious
I had a rip-roaring good laugh this morning that woke up the rest of the house after visiting Linda Buquet’s ‘BootMoney a ShoeMoney Rip Off - Friday Funnies‘ post and following the link to BootMoney’s site.
The whole thing is absolutely hilarious, filled with bogus domain name picking tips, a really nifty Keyword Generator and a foundation for affiliates who suffer from ‘BMS’ (Bad-Marketing Syndrome) which apparently is very similar (but not related to) PMS.
But I am most impressed by his car.
Let’s hope that if and when he starts giving training seminars for affiliates that he’ll take everyone outside and let everyone bask in its beauty. Better yet, he should offer a contest and give the winner a ride!
Oh boy! I might have to sign up for THAT one!

How Smart Is Your Right Foot?
This is so funny that it will boggle your mind — and you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot.
But you can’t !
- While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the Floor and make clockwise circles with it.
- Now, while doing this, draw the number “6″ in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction to counter-clockwise like your hand !
I told you so… and there is nothing you can do about it.

Peek at My Office
Joel Comm and Shawn Collins recently gave their readers a peek at their home offices via online video. Although I never could get Joel’s to load, Shawn’s beer fridge was pretty impressive.
Anyway, I thought I’d give you a peek at where I do my best work.
OK, I may have to go a little farther to get to the beer fridge, but the view is mighty impressive and there are no “please promote my product” phone calls to answer.
Think I’m kidding? Just try it. Grab a waterproof pen and notebook (of the paper variety) then hit the tub. You’ll be amazed at how many good ideas you come up with when you’re relaxed and happy.

Hiring a Translator
While at Affiliate Summit, I was discussing the increasing importance of having your site translated into various languages.
On looking around, I’ve decided NOT to hire the following translator.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
Here is a funny parody on the traditional “Twas the Night Before Christmas”…
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except Papa’s mouse.
The computer was humming, the icons were hopping,
As Papa did some last-minute Internet shopping.

Halloween Fun
I had fun shelling out to around 75 of the neighborhood kiddies this year dressed in my happy ghost mask and long black cape.
In between doorbell chimes, I ran back to the office to work … where Ed snapped this pic.
