Wolf Finery
Posted by: | Comments
This T-shirt was posted on Amazon for sale. For some crazy American reason, it has caught on with incredible fervor as the place to comment concerning such fine apparel. Over 1,400 customer reviews have come in on this piece of art and they are hilarious!
I have posted just one of the comments here for your enjoyment. This is just another internet phenomenon that has me splitting my side with laughter… enjoy!
The Comment: So I’m looking for threads that say, “Hey baby…I’m real boss!” when I stumble upon this epic creation. The wolves spoke to me in a language all their own; it was like German, Mongol, and Bitchin all mixed together. I mean, one wolf howlin at the moon is major…but three???
I ordered next-day air (if only there was same day!), and, of course, a size smaller than usual to ensure the closeness of the wolves to my chest hair. When the package arrived, I tore it open, and I SWEAR angels sang. I think it was Freebird. I immediately removed my “No Fat Chicks” shirt, and replaced it with this finery. Lemme tell you: AW YEAH. I’ll spare the details of my conquests since I started wearing this shirt; suffice to say, I’m swimming in a sea of babes the likes of which are usually found on those K-Tel infomercials. I’m also more confident at work, and expect to be promoted to cashier soon. I owe everything to this shirt (I should say “shirts”, since I now own 23 of them).

Twit Like a Pro
Posted by: | CommentsTwit like a pro is about creating a strategy where people absorb your brain matter through online social media such as Twitter and eventually become you. This is how you make an impact in the earth (Impact: to have an impact or effect on; influence; alter). It’s all about a following my friend; that’s how we change the world. If you have followers then you are a leader. If you are a leader, you are probably going somewhere. If you are going somewhere and people are following you, you will all arrive. If you are going somewhere great, everyone eventually benefits from your lead when they get there!
Have a nutty idea for a business? It just might work.

Best friends Salamunovic and Ahmed blend science and medicine with modern art–and make money doing it. With a simple cheek swab, they can collect enough organic matter to create an image of human DNA using specialized equipment. Working out of Ahmed’s apartment, the twosome sold a few prints to family and friends, and are now making over a million dollars a year. Genius!
Many people are finding that losing a job is the best thing that ever happened to them. Crisis can call out your creativity like nothing else sometimes. Many of us don’t know we have entrepreneurial genius until the chips are down. The twosome were invited to showcase their work at an Absolut Vodka-sponsored party in Ottawa’s SOHO neighborhood. They sold $40,000 worth of art in the first month. An 8″x10″ mini-DNA portrait goes for $200, while a 36″x54″ wall canvas garners $1,300. The Museum of Modern Art features DNA 11 art in its museum stores in New York and Tokyo.
