Road Trip


After 3 days and 14 inches the snow has finally stopped. Since Max is currently rummaging through the closet looking for his fishing wellies, I'm guessing it's road trip time. Hopefully Anna will finish her snowball fight and install the new Google GPS navigation software in the Opera trailer before we leave.

But Baby It's Cold Outside


Yes, it's snowing outside. And yes, Anna is cold.

But no, Anna will not wear the new Happiness Hat despite Max's recommendation.

Experience


When you decide to fight, you need more than experience. You need someone who knows how your enemy thinks and acts. So when Anna decided to sue Pepsi with her friends Chuck and Jimmie, she turned to Max.

While Max believed Anna had a strong case, he also decided to leverage his experience with Corporate America and exploit their bureaucracy. Sniffing out the weakest link, Max eventually sent his legal notifications right before a critical board meeting hoping the unassuming envelope would get lost in the shuffle.

Well, $1.26 billion buys a lot of Puperonies.

Approved


Anna approves of Lenovo's extended warranty support.

One needs a good warranty with Max and his various trips to Pamplona.

No Reason


Yeah, it was the cooler temperatures that killed off the fish today. It's not like Max went to Ethiopia recently to buy a few pallets of bedbug fighting DDT and accidentally spilled some into the river.

Max I Am


I do not like
yellow eggs that luminesce.
I do not like them, Max-is-the-best.

Would you like them in a trailer park?
Would you like them with a shark?
I do not like them
in a trailer park.
I do not like them
with a shark.

I do not like
yellow eggs that luminesce.
I do not like them, Max-is-the-best.

Inattentional


Anna can tell you that Ira's recent cell phone research is a great example of sustained inattentional blindness; check out Dan Simon's basketball test if you have never tried it before.

And Max can tell you most drivers using their cell phones rarely notice his unicycle let alone his clown costume.

Book Mania


Remember when Max tried to buy Copenhaven Castle after reading that medieval knights and castle book? Exactly. None of us knew just how manic a simple pop-up books would make Max.

Well, Anna thinks MIT's new popable book technology will probably cost us another 2 years of therapy.

Fair Use - Fair Warning


Fair warning to all you artists like Shepard Fairey thinking about borrowing images without proper licensing agreements, Anna just hired another copyright lawyer.

Volunteers Wanted


The other day Max was posting an ad on Craigslist for a trigeminal nerve monitor. For some reason he had a curiously strong urge to compare the relative strengths of Altoids to Trebor mints.

Anna, of course, mentioned he would probably need to drill into his skull to install any nerve monitors. Max immediately moved his ad from the "For Sale: Wanted" section to the "Community: Volunteers" section.

Mergers & Acquisitions


Max is currently facilitating merger talks between the Gin and Vodka Association and the International Potato Center. You don't even need to ask where Anna stands on the matter.

REWARD!


Well, despite what Anna says about rewards programs, Max still enjoys carrying around all of those little plastic cards in his wallet. It's mostly a status thing for him much like his custom printed M&M's.

Saved


Even with Max's membership in the International Jugglers' Association (IJA), he is not the most coordinated person on the planet. Thank goodness REI now carries BHEESTIE Bags. Though, this is the last time I fish his Blackberry out of the toilet.

Seeker


As you know, Max had to give up a promising career as a striker with Chelsea FC not to mention the organ due to leg injuries. So you can imagine how sympathetic he was towards his friend Ginger and her recent hiking injury.

And don't tell Anna but Max offered Ginger some of his carprofen; Anna really discourages that since it can lead to drug seeking behavior.

There's An App For That


Anna and I just don't think people will pay for a "Max Head Cam" iPhone app.

Now, his heated Hamburger mouse pad idea on the other hand...
