Last Chance for Personalized Diablos

Wednesday, August 16, 2006 - 03:02 PM

I have three more Personalized Glow-Skull Diablo Action Figures left. Three. Would you guys be so kind as to take them off my hands so I can get on with things? I'll give ya until Friday to pony up the dough or they get melted down and fed to pigeons.

UPDATE: Personalized Diablos are now history. Thanks to everyone who ordered one. I expect to be getting info on the shipment from Hong Kong any day now, I will let you know when I hear anything. Keep checking back here on the homepage for updates.

We're still working on getting them here from Hong Kong, and then through customs. I'll let you know as soon as I have any new info.

My second order... (Score: 2, Pathetic)

I regretted not initially buying two; you know, one I could keep "new in box" until it is worth enough to send my un-born children through college.

Well, I have fixed my mistake... now just push Goats' popularity through the stratosphere so that I can make good on my investment.

Now, in order to preserve my own investment, I'll have to hunt you down and viciously open your box.

Lets do some math. 2+ year-old. Toy in box. Your investment just got 1/250th more valuable.

Ahhh, but don't rule out how associated annecdotes increases vaule.

Toy has a value of X.
Zamphir goes on a killing spree eliminating 5 toys.
Toy has a value of X + 1/50(X) for the reduced supply, and an additional amount of Y for the publicity.
Now, Zamphir's Toy is actually worh much more than any of the others because it belonged to the mass-murdering fuckhead who went on a killing spree to increase toy values. His increases in value much faster than ours.

This does not work if Zamphir also commits cannibalistic acts.

Celebrity ++ == Value ++.

There is no bad publicity.

So in the end, celebrity ends up being one less than the value? What does that tell you?

You cornfused me so much! Does this refer to meals involving chicken, or are you only mentioning the possibility that Zamphir would eat some Goats? And what if he drinks recursive milk? Does the moojuice have to be squeezed into a Klein bottle in Papua, or are you implying that any increase in value is negated despite some celebrity fear factor? What would Joe Rogan do? Would he do Chicken Lady? ["Scarred for life!! Brrawwk!!"]

I guess i'll go milking for a while and try to clear my head of these details.

It tells me that you can't read code.

That line ended with a '.', and not a ';'.

So it was obviously COBOL.

People use COBOL? Isn't that just a ghost story to frighten young nerds?

I've had to write COBOL to run on Windows, that had to access ActiveX components.

And don't forget that COBOL is a web scripting [cobolscript.com] language, too.
