RED HOT Popcorn!

Here’s the machine we got for the shop! It’s a Carnival King 8 oz. popcorn popper, which is plenty enough production for the crowd we get, even in a street fair, which is rare enough that we can rent if we need something bigger and faster, which we presently don’t.

The idea is not so much “to sell popcorn” — although that might be a very good business thriving business in itself, just plain old popcorn, but we have an angle that makes our popcorn very different from all other popcorns.

It’s the spice.

Anyone who knows anything about Arrakis knows that spice is always at the bottom of any deal.

Popcorn is exempt from some local and regional and all federal food-handler licensing. Ben Franklin’s arts & crafts store has a big commercial popcorn machine in the front of the shop — they give away bags of popcorn to incoming customers, being careful to avoid serving them to those inevitable folks who show up every day for a bag of popcorn and quickly run out the door when they’ve got it.

You can’t afford to give away stuff forever, and at some point, you’ll learn to charge for it so you can keep doing your public service, thus fulfilling your Bodhisattva Vow, the one you took in a previous lifetime.

It’s time to settle that debt. Popcorn is a good beginning, spicy popcorn doubly so.

We sell our Zombie Family Red Hot Popcorn Spice in a special spice bottle, and we offer the spice in sample form, by sprinkling a generous amount of our incredibly hot “salsa caliente” on the hot salted or unsalted popcorn as it’s bagged up, and offer a fair special to take home, two bottles for only $25, which is a LOT of popcorn spice that could outlast the planet.

So how to turn this into a street hustle? Continue reading →

Lucky Pennies Help Homeless

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,

I asked myself what someone who has little money could actually accomplish to get the homeless back home again, and this is what I came up with — The Lucky Penny.

It has to be hand-searched, not bought in rolls, and it has to be unusually brilliant and unusually lucky to have been found, which covers a very slim territory, meaning that they aren’t all that easy to find, if you’re looking for speed-search.

The captured coins need to then be packaged, first in the small sleeve, then in the large packet, along with a backing card that contains the information about the coin, why it’s so lucky, etc.

Pennies From Heaven is a way of thinking. Let’s look at the situation of the homeless — first of all, there is no “the” homeless, every case is different, and money is not the only reason someone ends up on the street or in a tent city, and none of those reasons makes the victim at fault, but that’s where society places them.

So with little or no personal money, where do I even START???

Okay, first of all, you can’t FEED someone off the street. You can feed the body some food some of the time, but you’ll have to get money to do that, and while you’re getting the money for the food, who’s cooking it?

Then who delivers it, and to whom, and with what plates, knives, forks, spoons, cups?

It’s a LOT more complicated than one person can handle, but there IS a way to help and at the same time do some service and get some Merit.

Merit is the ticket that buys you out of this lower swamp level, and nothing else will do it. You need Merit, and that’s not just “good deeds” or “good intentions”.

Those and a couple of bucks MIGHT get you on a city bus, but it WON’T get you off The Wheel anytime soon.

There is no DIRECT ROUTE from homeless to employed and living at home. It’s a hard and complex road that must be taken step by step, but here’s the thing — if you merely feed the homeless, they may survive, but they still have no hope. Continue reading →

How I Found My $1.2 Million Dollar Coin!

Uncategorized

I’ve had my 15 minutes many times over. I don’t need or want publicity, promotion or book sales.

I don’t do interviews, talk shows or book signings. I have no interest in anything even resembling marketing, but I do have — thanks to my Marketing Angel, Zadkiel, some very powerful marketing skills.

It’s time to use those skills to get YOU the tools you’ll need to get through Trump World to a place of refuge and safety, where Trump and his Minions can’t reach you.

By the way, where does it say in The Book that the average American citizen should live in total and constant fear of the President?

Are you sitting at home, minding your own business, a peaceful and peace-loving productive citizen, WAITING FOR THAT KNOCK ON THE DOOR? Continue reading →

Pennies From Heaven

Uncategorized
Saints Rights March in 1969 made Time, Life and Newsweek Magazine Headlines.

You’re out to give away “Lucky Pennies” to the Hopeless. You’re at the supermarket and by some instinct, you happen to ask the bagger, “Could you use a little more luck?” — well, who can’t?

There’s a sea of homeless and hopeless people out there and you can’t help them — you’re just barely making it month-to-month, or you aren’t quite making it month-to-month.

Those are the only two options open to you, thanks to some very rich Wall Street brokers, bankers and very corrupt politicians both in and out of Washington. Crime apparently DOES pay.

Well, to Hell with all those tyrants and bullies and mean nasty rude people who are running us like mice in a cage — the Hell with them — let’s make a buck!

Actually, let’s give away pennies to the hopeless — but what kind of pennies, and from where are we going to get them? Continue reading →

Zombie Family Picnic Fun

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Forget about the evacuation plans — there’s a good chance we can make a powerful jump, but we’ll have to use several magical methods to make it work.

You can set up a Zombie Family Booth and a Lucky Rodney Display anywhere.

You’ll need to set up at least minimally as a zombie family salesperson, but you won’t actually have to sell anything if you don’t want to, or just plain can’t, and there’s nobody else in your family who can or will do it for you.

One single small order of hot sauce is all you need to actually get started, but you’ll soon want to get the whole store and set it up on the side of the road or at a local fair, because this stuff sells, and what’s more, it may keep you off the government “roundup” rolls.

You need money, a lot of it, to get past this Trump Blockade in this Time Zone, and it can be done, but you’ll need lots of luck to make it through.

Speaking of luck, no matter what else you do, you need to buy, sell, trade and give away Lucky Rodneys, which has a powerful effect in itself.

Zombie Family Hot Sauces include BBQ sauces, steak sauces, marinades and more, and they’re all carefully made in a small family style kitchen, all fully licensed everywhere in the USA, so you can sell these products anywhere.

All our zomfam products carry Sacred Blessings, but nobody has to know that — they bring peace and harmony and good wishes for continued prosperity.

You get a selection of sauces in your first order, but most of those products will not sell — you’ll sell a TON of our “Habenero From Hell”, made with Red Savina Peppers, the hottest known EDIBLE hot sauce in the world!

You could set up a small outlet with just the hottest selling hot sauce, the Habenero, or you might want to include the most popular and not quite so hot “Chipotle Adobo”.

If you really want to go whole-hog, you can order all our sauces AND chocolates AND cappuccino mixes AND tea mixes and blends and all sorts of zomfam products that are ready to go out there on YOUR countertop to earn you money & Merit!

I’ve got the whole deal ready for YOU to sell up a storm, including the booth, which is nothing more than a canopy & table & chair.

You can get the USA flag canopy from K-Mart for under $40, the USA flag chair for less than $30, and the folding table for less than $50 while it’s still on sale — they’re already gearing up for back-to-school, so all the picnic stuff is on sale, up to 90% off, pretty much everywhere.

It’s going to be a tough year for any business that can’t go onto the street to earn a buck. Continue reading →

“Actual Error” Lucky Coins

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
First Day of Basic Training, they made me a corporal and we won the parade competition — how lucky is that?

If a coin that touched an Extreme Error Coin is lucky, how lucky is an Actual Error Coin? That’s what I’m offering — actual error coins in State, Parks & ATB quarters.

Here’s what you’re looking for in a quarter search:

  • MS-60+ GEM — Absolutely flawless and brilliant like a diamond. The odds against finding these in Business Strike Pocket Change is 7.6 BILLION to 1 against.
  • AU-MS — High-Grade but not quite gradable, these are the bulk of your collection for albums and jewelry, and will constitute the majority of your search collections.
  • ERROR COINS — These can be in ALMOST any condition, but you have to be the judge here. I won’t take any actually dirty coins, but lower grade, into the “EF-30” range, is acceptable for this type of charm. Of course, the higher grade error, the more unlikely, and therefore the luckiest.

That’s all there is to it!!!

A Rare Coin is a Lucky Coin

Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center with my painted “JazzArt” backdrops.

You can now buy almost any of my JazzArt backdrop paintings, even those used in performances with Nancy Wilson, Wynton Marsalis, Herbie Hancock and many more world-class jazz musicians in concert around the world.

My JazzArt paintings must be safe, out of the hands and reach of those who would burn all art work that isn’t about Donald Trump, and that will happen soon enough, much sooner than you think.

Book burnings and art burnings are only the start — eventually it’s people burnings, and that’s when we want to be clear away from the source of pain that is Trump and his Minions.

I’m doing everything I can to get these paintings out of the Untied Snakes of Arnica, so the prices are absurdly low. Continue reading →

“Lucky Rodney, Save Me!!!”

Uncategorized

“Lucky Rodney, Save Me!!!” That’s the battle cry that’s going to Save America!

Caesar Rodney’s Famous Midnight Ride was the most famous ride you never heard about. The history books didn’t forget him — if you saw the film “1776”, you saw the story of Caesar Rodney, who rode 80 miles overnight to sign the Declaration of Independence and cast the deciding vote.

Just like a Saint Christopher Medal, the Lucky Rodney might save you someday!

Forget about a straight job. Forget about the Protestant Work Ethic. Forget about Retirement, because that’s all gone, now, all stolen by the bankers and Wall Street brokers and the politicians currently controlling your very corrupt third-world style government.

You haven’t got a chance if you work at a job or start a business. They’ll never let you get ahead, not even a squeak of a chance. Give it up. Stop going to work. Stop playing the game that you will someday retire with benefits, because that’s not going to happen.

If you’re a worker, you are doomed in Trump World. Doomed. There is nothing you can do except bop until you drop, and hopefully, you’ve got some term life insurance to handle the expenses to your family. Continue reading →

Run For The Hills!!!

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Resist the impulse to join in the violence. Remain calm, steady and peaceful.

Run for the hills? Not quite yet. We have yet to hear from the majority, which up until now has been notably silent, docile and willing to take it on the chin, but apparently, that’s about to change, with Resistance Demonstrations all over the United Snakes, and all over the planet, decrying the madness of Trump.

In my world, “Trump” is a scary and funny rubber kids’ Halloween mask, and part of the common phrase, “Trump You!”. Frankly, I don’t care, do you???

Like I’ve said billions of times before, that’s just local politics, in which off-worlders never get involved, both by ethical law and by personal experience.

So while the Athenians and the Spartans are battling it out, grunting and sweating in the baking sun and sand of the senate floor, let’s make a buck.

Sounds cynical? No, what sounds, and is, cynical is the bull-puckey coming from the Snake Party writhing around on the floor of the Senate, and the robotic applause for Trump that comes from the stink-hole of the House of Reprehensibles.

I used to think of Congress as “not a bad sort, not actually criminal”, but now I’m not so sure. The thing is, they’re now yanking us poor and minority folks around for their amusement and personal gain, when they steal our social security funds and our retirement funds and our medical benefits all for the sake of their personal enrichment, and then trample on all our American values and freedoms and then deny non-white Christians their vote, and destroy the democracy from the top down, heck-darn, that’s when I say “enough is enough”, whatever that means.

I can’t and won’t be driven into violent action, yet I’m obligated to protect my family and home, am I not?

But I have no voice, no power, no bully-pulpit and no money with which to fight, and I’m unable and unwilling to use a weapon of any kind, with the singular exception of comedy — so what can I really do to protect myself and my family from Trump and his Minions?

What can I do to stop the constant chatter of “Trump, Trump, Trump”??? Continue reading →

What Makes My “Lucky Rodney” So Lucky?

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

If it’s just an ordinary “normal” 1999-P Delaware U.S. Quarter, what makes your “Lucky Rodney” so lucky?

  • It’s more than “ordinary” — it’s a very high-grade quality collector’s item.
  • It’s been honored, respected & enshrined, in a solid sterling silver bezel.
  • It looks exactly like the Parent Coin, except for the absence of the error.
  • It has actually been touched to the acrylic slab in which the Parent Coin resides.

No one else could possibly have a Parent Coin like mine. There are only two known, and one of them is in a locked and sealed collection.

Why is the Parent Coin so lucky? Continue reading →
