Avvy RP VIII: Discussion IV; I'm With Stupid - Page 4

It's Atticus Finch from To Kill A MockingBird.
I admittedly didn't care for the book at the start, but towards the end it picked up. It was definitely worth reading.

Although I will never look at the Chifforobe in my living room the same way again.

And if Raiden is a zombie, I say we give him a day or two to make more zombies. A zombie apocalypse is like, my favorite form of apocalypse.

Y'see Thadius, consumers will go back to a product that not only tastes delicious, but won't make them vomit out their intestines and grow extra eyes. Just like Overcast said.

It takes about five times as much cash and effort to attract new customers than it does to retain old ones. And if you have a lot of pissed off former customers, well, you're screwed. Branding is entirely based around perceived quality!

And for the guns, I think I will go to one of the many other manufacturers of high energy weapons who are more than happy to show off their product to me. You see, to sell a product you need to tell people about it.

This isn't rocket science!

Oh Arhra, I'm so disappointed in you! Falling for Thadius' cleverly disguised trap like that. The answer to all this apparent ill logic is simple!

See, Thadius doesn't run a normal business, no, ThadCo is merely a deviously veiled front! All his money doesn't come from selling his apparently hazardous drinks, or even his mysterious guns!

No, it comes from his illegal and shadowy services.

Speaking of which, what can I get for a twenty?

Raiden · 12-02-2009, 11:58 PM

I ain't a zombie. I was a member of the NPF Anti-Zombie Survival Coalition, or whatever it was called. There were...words. Big words. I don't...know...

Screw it. I was the guy who got pissed off at zombies.

And I was the faux-girl who cheered them on as they ate people. But now, I am a scientist!

Want to make a bad situation worse? Throw a drunk Intern into the mix.

*Crawls in half dead under uni work* Here, have post.

Arhra · 12-06-2009, 03:15 AM

Welp, that took me far too long.

And my contribution to the General fight is... almost nothing!

Although I guess nuking the melee would have been negative contribution, so yeah.

Trying to work on a post, honest. But I prefer to do posting at night when people aren't around to annoy me as I type, and between working away from home and getting drunk at night I've had little chance to do so.

Hopefully tomorrow.

Grah, I had a really, really long post, but unfortunately, Google chrome and whomever decided "backspace" should be the perfect "back one page" button are assholes.

Am attempting to rewrite post, but GRAH.
