The new stereo doesn't have a tape deck. Stereos with tape decks still exist, but, really, the iPod dock was the primary motivator behind this one (not to stream Pandora; that was just something I figured out one night after we got it). So the old stereo is going to the community Up For Grabs day. (Once a year, in the auditorium of one of the churches, there is a swap meet called Up For Grabs day -- as long as you bring 2 things [obviously you can bring more], you can peruse all the other stuff people brought and take home as much as you like. Last year Tim got a perfectly good LCD monitor for his computer.)
Somewhere there is a portable boom box that has a tape deck, in case we have a sudden need to play tapes.
So, our company is in GREAT upheaval right now, which I can't go into. It's been hell.
BUT I though you'd appreciate this: we have all new marketing people and the new director scrapped the entire Polar Bear campaign immediately. Not only did we hear from the FDA that we should not use "put pain into hibernation" as a selling phrase, but the new marketing director was like, "Polar bears don't hibernate! This is idiotic."
Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha

Now I want to come up with wacky marketing plans for this: Give pain an atomic wedgie! Go ahead, pain; make my day! [Note: may be a copyright issue.] This product will fuck pain UP, for real, man!
...this is why I am not in marketing.

Hahahaha, nice!
javachik, that is FUCKING BRILL.
I know it's 2 YEARS later and all, but I am definitely chanting "ItoldyousoItoldyousoItoldyouso...." under my breath.
"Dr." is a title, but "Doctor" is the character's name.
That's very rational, but I like to abbreviate "William" to "Wm" so I'm not sure I can fully sign off on that reasoning. Note, I do write out "Doctor" but I can't explain why.
That's so great. Validation!
I write it out, too, and I think it's because I figured out that's what most, or possibly all, of you people do.
javachick, ha!!
