Like A Virus

Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 04:19 PM

Howdy, everyone. Just a reminder that one of the best ways that you can support the site is to tell your friends about us. You can do this through links on your websites, emails to friends, or by shouting the URL really loudly in public places. We depend on word-of-mouth to keep us healthy and productive.

Your homework assignment for this week is to tell as many people as possible about our little site. If everyone reading this told just five people about Goats, well, that would be really amazingly cool.

Go, mindless zombie readers! Spread the word!

I was about to run outside and find a public and crowded place in which to shout the url, until I realized that you called me a mindless zombie. You bastard.

Similar for me, I have told them and told them and told them. I guess possibly the plan here is maybe I should stop telling them and they'd have time to actually check..

Although my 2 hardbacks have been in to work and made the rounds so I am sure you're getting a few hits from us at the least.

Soon my goats tattoo will be worn in to work to show them I mean it.

Also it helps if you tell rich people about it, and shout it where there are lots of rich people standing around.

Well, I have to go to Synagouge a couple times this weekend, what with it being the Jewish New Year and all, and they actually want me up on the bima at one point (I'm still not quite sure why) but that might be the *perfect* time to shout out the URL. I mean, there's a WHOLE lot of people at high holiday services.

Actually if there was some sort of pamphlet that I could print out many copies of and then hand out to people as I walk around campus, well, I'd probably piss off a bunch of people, but I'd probably also get some people to go to the site.

We have the flyer we've been handing out at Cons and such (we distributed about 4,000 of them at Comic-con).

I'll try to make a downloadable PDF of it, suitable for printing, as soon as I get the opportunity.

Tor told me to read Goats. He only told me once about 4 1/2 years ago.

This has lead to 4 1/2 years of Goat's addiction and of purchasing merchandise. (and having that merchandise delivered to work and shown to everyone in the office and making them all read the goats' book)

Maybe this is a case of less is more?

OOoo, then I can print it off on transfer paper and iron to my housecoat. :)

That isn't a bad idea really...

May have to do that... ;)

An even better idea would be to purchase an already printed item of clothing from the store [cafeshops.com].

i read that first bit as "iron it to my house cat."

i laughed, suffered a mild fit of asphyxiation, recovered, and in disbelief re-read the post. turns out i was wrong, but it's still funny.

well, must do work type stuff. graveyard shift at the hospital. ominous. maybe if we taped the babies to the ceiling, they'd get better faster? improve the ciculation er sumthin. or at least, the horrified parents would take them to a different hospital, and i wouldn't have to deal with them.

I would, but i fear that it will spread like a virus and like the mutaba, take over the world and try to kill us all. And as we all know; having goats.com as a villian is not a good idea.

But if it spread that far, it'd probably start mutating somewhere along the way, and then we'd have a frighteningly large army of goat-like clones. And then Jon, like the Emperor, might get his own ominous theme music. I'd be okay with that.

I happened to tape a printout of my favorite series onto my binder this semester. The binder in question seems to dissapear quite often, turning up on the other side of the room where someone I dont even know is reading it. Other times I just force people to read... I tell myself it's for their own good.

btw, fav series = Advanced dungeons and hamsters

You should put the URL on there as well.

You know, just for their own edification. Not for gratuitous publicity reasons or anything.

Don't you worry, the URL is there in bright bold letters. It also happens to be on the wall at the train station and inside the stalls of the girls washroom... But of course, me not being a fan of vandalism nor the heavy fines involved, it’s all dry-erase. Sure I have to reapply like cheap lipstick on a hot date, but I don’t really have $500.00 handy in the event that I get caught. A girl can only do so much.
