I recently came up with an excellent marketing idea for the Crayola Crayon Company. Being a company that provides products that enable artists to be creative and artistic, i feel that it would be a good business move for them to partner with real live artists and create personal crayon sets geared towards said artists fan base.

Their first partnership should be with Snoop Dogg. This partnership would result in the following crayon color collection:

Razzleberry
Strawdizzle
Yellow
Chronic Green
Glock-9-Gray
Orangge Pop-a-cap-in-your-ass
Snurple
Pimp Hat Blue

With the guaranteed success of this particular collection, Crayola could expand into other collections for other artists. A few examples might be:

The Tom Cruise Collection [Dianeticle Blue, Thetanorange, Xenurple]
The Marilyn Manson Collection [Anti-chrysanthemum, Satans Gray, Beelzeblue]
The Dead Rock Stars Collection [Morirson Maroon, Copper Cobain, Elvisy Lime ]

If anyone from Crayola or Snoops posse likes this idea, please contact me directly.

The last time i 'invented' something [The Marshmallow Gun], people laughed at me, and i made the mistake of not pursuing a patent or copyright. Within year or two, someone had STOLEN the idea right out from under me. Now i can only assume the creators of the Marshmallow Shooter are millionaires.

Shred-tastic!

The fifth annual "Big Burn" at DJ's cottage was a 'flaming' success. We burned some fencing, a couple of trees, some bushes and lots of other flamable items. Also, because this years burn was so massive, a number of people melted when they stepped too close to the fire. Next year we will burn multiple items in memory of them.

Highlights of the event included 'special guest' visitors - "The iPhone", as well as a surprise visit by Batman.

It was a perfect day for burning stuff and a great time was had by all.

Looking forward to next year all ready. So far, the only item that has been donated for burning is the iPhone. If you have something that needs burning - please leave a comment, and we'll pick it up next summer.
