If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
1) Give yourself a clever name resembling a major toy store that has the word for female private parts in it.
2) Get yourself a big sign that includes said word in the copy.
3) Anger the locals to get free press coverage.
4) Get a photo of the aforementioned sign and its various versions posted (with followup grammatical commentary on the plural form of the word) on BoingBoing.
5) Profit!

Would you please send a birthday greeting to help Scott Barile welcome in his next century? He's a huge fan!
His crazy friends and family have declared Aug. 14-Sept. 14 as "National Scott Barile Birthday Month", culmonating on his 50th birthday, Sept. 14th. I have also contacted our esteemed President Bush (although Scott is a staunch Democrat), but George W. Bush won't send a card unless you are 80 years old or over. So much for "the people's president"!
Scott lives at: SCOTT BARILE, 26 W. Middle Tpke., Manchester, CT 06040
Thanks!

Jake said on 08/10/05 @ 10:25 AM: Apparently (rolling eyes)...If you think those comments are totally off-topic, check out the guys who think I can cancel their AOL accounts.

If it's obvious that the site is not about whatever content and so not related, why bother leaving comments? It's called, keep searching til you find it. I was called a b*tch for saying "READ"
