CopyCock
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
I’m toying with the idea of starting a side company totally dedicated to commercial copywriting called “CopyCock”. If not a new company, then maybe a cable tv show about the fall of advertising in the first decade of the 21st century. Or maybe just a little off-broadway one act about a neurotic, but lovable male copywriter and his foibles in the industry. Like an Ally McBeal for men, except everyone eats.
Print my Zappa!
Friday, June 20, 2008
With the rapid expansion around the spunk shop
we had to make some mofo upgrades on the server,
This led the necessity to rename the new 2tb server (now “Angee”
in honor of my founding Spunk partner Angee Hagen.)
and rename the printers.
We finally abandoned the printer naming protocol of dead rap stars.
We were running low on the body count surpassingly.
“Biggie, Tupac, Left Eye, Tupac resurrected.”
All the good ones we had used. Also We thought
i might be bad karma to continue.
We have instead choses a new naming protocol for the printers.
Frank Zappa’s kids names.
The printer names for the shop are now
“Moon Unit”
“Dweezil”
“Diva Muffin”
A new era has dawned.

George Clooney Man Class
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
i think george clooney should
teach “man classes” around the country
he could tell teen age boys not to get married until
well into their 40’s – maintain lifelong friendships
with other men – how to hang out with brad pitt,
basketball pointers – sort of a real life boy scouts
meeting, except with cocktails and stories about
movies sets and historically progressive american
political milestones. Who can we contact to
get this ball rolling?
