Sean,
I was going to explain to you (painstakingly) that “Boy, some chicken wings would really hit the spot!” does not really “fit” in the context I was aiming for (it doesn’t), but you weaved such a beautiful tapestry to make it work, I am left speechless.
Of course I want to be associated with Tommy Boy. For all intents and purposes, I AM Tommy Boy… (because I said so), but “duh” “threw one past me”, so I had to quote the guy that admitted to having one thrown past him. It also conveniently asserts that it will never happen again. Something I want Duh to be very clear on.
Nobody “rick-rolls” me twice.
p.s. this was the first time I have ever heard of this “rick-rolling” phenomenon.
p.p.s. so you did get my “manuscript” then?
What the heck was that all about? A sinister Kaybot mind trick?
David: Pull yourself together, man. While your familiarity with on of the western world’s great works is impressive, you quoted the wrong character. Zelinski was the sleazy guy. I think you want to be associated with Tommy Boy himself. I’d suggest:
“Boy, some chicken wings would really hit the spot.”
Chris Farley – “Tommy Boy”
[I would have endorsed The Who's "We won't get fooled again!" if CSI Miami, Horatio Kane, his sunglasses and airboat hadn't ruined it by making it their theme song. We're at war and our anti-war protest anthems have become TV show theme songs. Even DUH has given up. No wonder the Kaybots marshall their considerable forces with impunity! Boy, some chicken wings would really hit the spot!]
After getting rick-rolled by duh, I had a hard time getting my thoughts together for the previously promised guest post.
I did however complete it and have emailed it to you. Did you get it? Should I send it again?
Real good duh, real good.
“Well kid, you threw one by me. – Savor the flavor, cause it sure as hell won’t happen again.”
-Dan Aykroyd – “Tommy Boy”
I found a little dirt on Mary Kay Ash if your interested. Check it out:

I’m sorry Sean, but I’m in a state of cognitive dissonance. I’m almost out of my Mary Kay Satin Hands set. Should I openly diss the company that manufactures a product that makes my hands and feet so satiny soft and risk alienating the ladies that will sell it to me?
I guess I could ebay it, but I’d miss that one-on-one pampering. What’s a girl to do?
Mucho trabajo, poquito dinero as we say at IdeaFarm.
Much work, little money.
I do not know if MKC sanctions these warm chattering fiestas, but my director sure did. How would the public know if MKC is behind it or if it is a rogue consultant? All they know is someone has approached them, and it is an annoyance. At least it is to me, and I am a consultant! For personal use, only. The amount of time it takes to build up this business was not worth it. Too much time for too little money.
…I would like to make sure that I read everything that has already been said, so I don’t come off sounding too ignorant!
Not sounding ignorant… that never occurred to me… like thinking before I write… hmmm… maybe I should try that… … … NAH!
Sean,
Most gracious of you. I gratefully accept. Please allow 3-5 days for processing and delivery.
(I would like to make sure that I read everything that has already been said, so I don’t come off sounding too ignorant!) :D

So, yes, with some Kaybots, resistance is definately futile!
I have heard that some Kaybots actually approach women in supermarkets, Starbucks, the mall, etc. and tell them they are recruiting “face models” as a ploy to get them to a sales pitch.
Is this true? If so, is this a sanctioned MK technique or the actions of renegade Mary Kaybot extremists?
I’ll do you one better: I’ll give you a “Guest Post” spot with links to your site. You can email it to me at info[at]ideafarm.net.
A balanced approach would be a nice change of pace – though be forewarned: most of our readers are pretty unbalanced.
Sean,
Greetings.
This morning I received a comment on my blog with a link to this article.
Was that you? Or one of your readers?
I do have some answers to the questions that were posed and, in fact, the post came shortly after seeing some of the articles that you have listed here.
I have a limited amount of time to spend discussing Mary Kay, so most of my energy is spent talking to those reading on my blog. That said, I do like to participate in conversations elsewhere as well, so hopefully you will see a few comments from me here in the near future.
Since you or someone you know saw fit to put a link to this article in the comments on my blog, I wonder if you would be willing to allow me to do the same?
Although when it comes to Mary Kay you seem to be looking for more black and white positions which lead to sensational arguments, I hope that, in time, you will come to endorse my blog as the “balanced” perspective on Mary Kay.
Please let me know if I can link directly back to my article here. Thank you.
Is resistance futile? In some cases, yes. Some of these women are merciless when it comes to recruiting. They do not take no for an answer. They have a script for every objection you give them. Unless you are very strong you CAN get suckered into joining or hosting a facial which turns into a color demonstration which turns into an even bigger production.
So, yes, with some Kaybots, resistance is definately futile!
I am familiar with Mary Kay.
That’s it? I am familiar with Mary Kay?
My God… what have the Kaybots done to DUH?
Is there a lobotomy scar on her forehead? A microchip implanted behind her left ear? An explosive collar around her neck? Do her pupils turn pink when angry? Did she mistakenly touch the pod they left on her front porch? Is the real Duh suspended in a glass cylinder of pink Koolaid in a secret warehouse while the Kaybot Duh maintains her daily routine?
Here is one of the legendary Freedom Fighters who took on the MLM, the Kaybots and the fearsome Pink Truthers… And here she is, blogging with her “Think Pink” mousepad and “Pink Truth Rocks!” t-shirt.
I am familiar with Mary Kay
I am familiar with Mary Kay, indeed.
