A typical Sunday so far…post newspapers, coffee, toast, marmalade, cheese and old man pills. I’m all for ideas to how to ignore the call of the office when lo and behold i come across evidence that Eric Northman, the local vampire sheriff and owner of Fangtasia, was infiltrating Australian media way back in 1978! What sinister plan was Eric hatching with South Sydney Rabbitoh fan and TV icon Ray Martin while holidaying in the Carribean? And was Kerry Packer somehow involved?
True Blood, it really is true!
Why Pay Peanuts?
The old adage that if “you pay peanuts, you get monkeys” has already been proven by the fine Myth Busters crew to be true i’m sure!! That’s why here at Shiny we prefer to pay in chocolate!!
That’s right kids, when we put the word out there that we were willing to pay in Caramello Koalas for our website to be created we stumbled upon a young, bearded chocoholic who couldn’t resist the temptation of a very cool looking box containing 70 x 20 gram Caramello Koalas.
In exchange we offered to temporarily unshackle him from a world of corporate whoredom, where the poor chap had become entrenched and entangled.
Unfortunately we can’t out our man – but can let you know that if “you pay in Caramello Koalas, you get Brett”.
We love Brett…
