Block That Bitch!

Trump spent HOURS in front of the mirror, practicing this Hitlerian grimace.

Have you totally had it with organic world reality? Tired of the Hell World and Brute World invading your territory and keeping you awake nights waiting for the nuclear flash? Has it come to this, that your afternoon nap is the best part of the day?

When you find a hair in your fruitcake, you’ve found the best part of that fruitcake, and that goes double for Trump, Trump’s Minions and Trump’s World of Hate and Fear.

How would you like to escape from Planet Trump?

I have the answer, and it’s so easy to do.

All you need is a distraction that is compelling enough to draw your attention away from the news media screen for a few hours of relief, and I have just the distractions for you! Continue reading

Handling The Between-Customers-State

Practicing guitar is always an option. Play softly.

If you’re operating a shop, storefront, booth, kiosk or busking station, you’ll want to know what to do with those interminable waiting periods between customers, and there will be plenty of them, believe it.

Many retailers and service personnel lose a LOT of precious productivity, and when you own your own business and want to be your own boss — well, you’ll have a LOT of time on your hands.

If you’re ever in a department store where customers are not actually engaged in sales, you’ll see the salespeople adjusting things, dusting things, re-arranging things, pricing things — basically, doing something, anything, to appear busy.

It’s widely believed, and perhaps it’s true, that if customers see salespeople loafing about, they won’t buy a thing, which certainly matches my extensive experience in retail.

Heck-darn, when you’re talking Retail, you’re talking Planet Earth. Why, back home, we NEVER pay retail — nobody pays retail anywhere except here on Planet Earth.

Humans of Planet Earth are so ignorant, they call it “bartering”, not “bargaining”, when you make offers and counter-offers.

Bartering is where you trade a laying hen for a carpenter’s work fixing your wagon, and I don’t mean that figuratively at all. Continue reading

How to Get the “Best 20” Deal!

I will “dumpster-dive” this bag on your behalf, and find the goodies therein!

What is the “Best 20”, anyhow???

I completely understand your puzzlement and wonder — and I’ll be only too happy to explain:

You send me $25. I go to bank, “buy plenty wampum”, to quote Stan Freberg, meaning I get a $25 box of U.S. in-circulation business-strike pennies from the bank, bring the box home with YOUR name on it, and begin plundering the box on your behalf.

Why? For money? Continue reading

RED HOT Popcorn!

Image result for carnival king 8 oz. popcorn machine

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

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!

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

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

 

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

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!!!
