Valentine's Day Offer

Post by Rafe Hollister » February 1st, 2005, 2:43 pm

You may have heard of the International Star Registry where you can name a star after someone. Image
Don't waste your money on something so stupid.

Instead, for the low price of $59.95, you can name a rock in my driveway after your special someone. The name of your rock will be recorded in book form in the U.S. Copyright Office, and a Certificate of Authenticity will be mailed to you, along with an 8 X 10 glossy photo of your sweety's namesake.

"Why a rock instead of a star?" you ask. I'll answer your question with a question. Can you visit your star? Hell, no! Just give me notice of a couple weeks and you can come to my driveway and visit your rock.

No credit cards or checks accepted. Money orders or cash only, please.

Rafe - Why don't you go even one better. Did you see the guy that auctioned off (on e-bay) advertising space on his forehead? He made over $35,000.....maybe you need to be selling advertising space on those rocks!

You know, I've got more forehead than most folks have. I have room for 2 or 3 companies to advertise up there.

You are either going to have to accept checks, or forget it, I'm not driving down there to give you $59.99 just so I can get a pic. of MY rock! Send me a decent pic., and I'll send you the check. Deal? Image

I've heard about you, dave-t. You're the reason for the no-check policy at Hollister Enterprises, Inc., LLC.

Rafe, with the deal Hobie is offering, you are either going to have to lower your rock prices, or you will go out of the rock bidness. What's so special about your rocks anyway? Are they big or small? I don't go for those sammich rocks. Image Trophy rocks or nothing is my motto.

You're close Triton. Actually Hobie's ex was named Sue Nahmee...they named the natural disaster after her. Unfortunately I think I dated her evil twin! Image

Rafe,

I really think you could be on to something with this rock thing, but I also think you need to broaden you horizons a little. Have you thought about after Valentine`s Day? I`ve been kicking this around in my head since I read your post yesterday. I believe there is a market out there for this rock thing. What if, and this is just a suggestion, you took these rocks, gave them names, and sold them to people as "Pet Rocks". It would be so cool. I`m sure everyone would want one. Take MOCraig for instance. You could sell him a really big one, and he could call it "the Cock Rock". This is just an example. Feel free to use my idea for whatever monetary gain you can. I`m not interested since the more money I make, the more the ex-wife gets, and that just wouldn`t be fair at all. Good luck Rafe.
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.
But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.
