Go With The Flow
by edwinatrout on 11/25/2008 6:38:23 PM
If you’re like us, you can’t help but notice how this country's cash flow is quickly slowing down to a dribble. We know it's not uncommon for businesses to rely on an open line of credit with their bank to meet payroll from time to time, but companies large and small are going to start hitting a wal...

Mission In Action
by edwinatrout on 11/20/2008 3:10:13 PM
If you’re like us, your head is such a big, old bag of puffed up affectations and self-importance that you can barely lift it off your pillow each morning. Which is why we were so thrilled when we went looking for this month’s Mystery Mission Statement and came upon this agency's superbly pretentiou... Continue »

Meanwhile, Back At The Mill…
by edwinatrout on 11/17/2008 9:24:50 PM
Normally, there’s nothing we love more than getting out our big, old wooden spoon and stirring up a piping hot kettle of gossip. But, alas, there is no joy in Mudville these days. We’ve heard from several sources that the entertainment advertising leviathan that shares its initials with a must-have ... Continue »

If you’re like us, there’s nothing you like better than passing along a completely groundless and unsubstantiated rumor.

Thai Eye Yi!
by edwinatrout on 11/7/2008 2:18:43 PM
If you’re like us, you find this sort of thing to be more than an eyesore. It’s gruesome to the point of being pornographic. Apparently this one-sheet and the ones shown below are for a series of Thai horror films called Art of The Devil 2 and 3 that came out a couple of years ago. However, our inte... Continue »
