Damn You! My credit card is burning through my wallet. Only way I can get a 75mm here in the US is via Ebay and they are running over $1000 from Taiwan.

Have them in most 7/11s here, $800 and a free tin of sardines.

I am in country in 3 months. I’m not above robbery. I’ll even take your photo so when Pattaya One covers another farang robbery the images will be better than the usual crap they show as images. The headline will be, “Crap Wizard robbed by dashing lad”.

I’m beginning to regret that last post.

It was a brilliant post.

The first ten thousand ‘T’ shirts are in production, we can’t decide whether to follow up next with the hat, the hand-bag, or the soap-on-a-rope…

Hand-bag. We need to hit the Thai/Asian market. I think Crap Wizard has the potential to be the new Hello Kitty.
about 9 months ago
You’re right. CrapWizard is going to be big! More designs being drawn up as we speak. If they have a set to collect they spend much much more…

There is a regular contributor to an interesting tech/law Blog (http://www.groklaw.net) who has the rather delightful signature block of
“Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for it makes them soggy and hard to light.”
Maybe we could steal, borrow, emulate or license the same – or at least improve upon it…
And think about the possibilities? Who else has a line of toys and games based on their incendiary or explosive capabilities? You’d corner the market!!!

Brilliant Clive, just perfect! “CrapWizard Exploding Toys for Small Children”, just the thing for the Uncle Bastard/Auntie Rotter market, they’ve got heaps of disposable income, given how few ten-shilling notes get spread around at birthdays & Xmas, and they understand the need for taking revenge on their ghastly siblings ghastly off-spring… You’re on the Board!

I’ll wait till this junk hits the shops, then change the post text from “crap wizard” to “moderately hirsute, but still extremely attractive wizard”. Stick that in your marketing strategy.
about 9 months ago
Great, love the Wizard avatar Lola, it’s with the design team now. We’ll do a deluxe range of “moderately hirsute, but still extremely attractive wizard” in gold and platinum, straight into the elite and ‘hi-so’ market, they won’t be able to read it but they’ll buy it until they drop! Thanks for the pointer, Brits Rule!!

I concede. Let’s talk about commission.
about 9 months ago
Absolutely Lola, not a problem. We shall, of course, be talking to SWMBO about commission as she came up with the title for this vast and fast spreading empire. We shall strongly recommend that she cut you in for the obligatory two-point-five percent. You’ll be rich! Well, richish, anyway…
Note to young Spanky: The dungeon gaming wankers make mention of a “CW”. Check it’s clear and trademark at once, not a minute to lose!
They also make mention of a ‘ShitLord’, given Uncle Spike’s unseemly attraction to things scatological this could very well be a sound backup plan. ShitLord dunny paper, ShitLord toilet cleaner, ShitLord accessories for the smallest room, got to be a winner here! Millions of shyly giggling Poms parting with their hard-earned hand over fist, oh, customised GT40′s here we come!!

Shouldn’t you be busy washing a bus or something?

I have people who do that, I watch them from a height and a distance…

Don’t worry about the dungeon gaming people. Their lawyers are too busy in their Mom’s basement screaming “FIREBALL! FIREBALL! LIGHTENING BOLT!”, we will be fine. If they dragged their unwashed selves out we will offer them a settlement deal. We can always blame our Chinese manufacturing partners for not respecting intellectual property rights. I see nothing but profits in our future. We can spin off ShitLord as our home care product line. The manly way of getting things done.
Can I pass on the GT40? I would really like a Veyron. I think its low key enough to fit my personality. I’m assuming we can charge the purchase to the company as it will be necessary for me to do my job of going from one retail outlet to another to check the marketing and placement of our products. Oh.. I’ll need a driver too. An attractive one of the female gender.

“Can I pass on the GT40″
You are dead to me.
about 9 months ago
I can appreciate the GT40 but I really wants something modern that more or less drives itself and looks cool. I don’t want to have to pay attention while driving or have my driver work up an unseemly sweat from pushing the clutch and fighting the steering wheel.

What´s next ShitLord Kitty Litter ?
about 9 months ago
Perfect Jock, stroke of genius! “ShitLord” petcare products for owners who can’t be told apart from their pets. Save money! Shop only once! if it’s good enough for you/them, it’s good for them/you. Have another dog biscuit, you’re on the Board!

Amazing! All this bs generated by a shot of a couple of plastic moulds.
Keep up the good work.

You’re welcome. We don’t want Auntie Lola’s blog to be another one of those sad and tedious affairs which no-one can ever be bothered to comment on, there’s enough of those around already…
