    a brilliant idea 

    slankets/snuggies with colored print of the body of cartoon/popular characters.

    patent pending.

    I do not condone the use of slankets/snuggies.
    I do condone making money.

    Here are some proportionally incorrect pictures of the product:

    please throw money at me now.

      i don’t understand, who is the first character? Barney?

      Is the second picture the Flintstones?

      Also, please provide another drawing using ninja turtles, based on the mock ups, I might commit as an investor.

    some wisdom 

    1. in case any of you guys are wondering if it is ok to just flush a banana peel down the toilet, it is not. it will clog your toilet.

    2. if you ever try it anyways, make sure you remember to unclog it before you poop.

    You are welcome.

    sold and shipped! 

    So the old textbook I was trying to sell on amazon ended up being sold within 5 hours of posting. High five! This also meant that I had to honor my incentive. So I did. It took me all of 4 minutes.

    The following an email that I sent immediately after receiving the order:

     

    Subject: Order information from Amazon seller gpspud20

    Hello [name redacted], your order was received. The textbook Microbiology: An Introduction, 9th edition with limited edition Organic Molecule Yellow Cookie Monster (OMYCM) doodle on page 124 will be shipped shortly.

    If you took care to read the seller’s comment, you would have noticed that by purchasing this book prior to 08/28/09 you are eligible to receive a PERSONAL sketch of OMYCM and YOU together. Please let me know what location, time of day, and preferred cameos you would like in your PERSONAL sketch. Though my artistic abilities know no bounds, I highly suggest a beach overlooking a beautiful sunset with cameos of the top half of sonic the hedgehog and a ninja turtle.

    You are permitted to send me a head shot of yourself if you so desire for artistic accuracy (no creeper), otherwise you will have to settle for my own artistic interpretation of you.

    You’re welcome.

    -Tim

    Unfortunately with no response, this was the email sent after the package was shipped:

    Subject: Shipment notification from Amazon seller gpspud20

    [name redacted],

    Your order was shipped priority mail on August 26, 2009. You should be expecting to receive your order in 2-3 business days.

    As you may or may not be aware, by making this purchase prior to Aug 28th you were eligible to receive a personalized sketch. I have inserted this piece of artwork along with the packing slip behind the front cover of the textbook. Please disregard the backside of this artwork, as it is leftover of an old printout of my homework. Thank you for your order and hope you enjoyed your purchasing experience.

    enjoy:

      I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you Friendly Buyer, I too get to benefit from your purchase – I am able to experience this original “one-of-a-kind” Tim Poon masterpiece. For free, which I am very glad about – because I would not liked to have paid a whole textbook’s-worth for this drawing. (Joking, totally joking – it’s worth … more than words).

      My favorite is the grass in the bottom right hand corner. It’s really good. Exactly like how I draw my grass too.

      oh i thought it was on a beach.. but i guess there could be some grass on a beach.
      btw, you are ridic! that was amusing though it would have been more interesting if the buyer replied.

      guys, i know my artwork takes a “special eye” (hi mom!) to really discern its beauty. But that “grass” in the corner, yea that’s my signature. thanks.

    Midnight Delusions? or GREATEST IDEA EVER! 

    OK so. while im on this incredible high that is my GENIUS.

    I was surfing around youtube last nite (ok. 4 am) and watching vids when it suddenly dawned on me in a totally unrelated (crazy?…bah semantics) way.

    I want to get a Ukulele. See, its brilliant in so many ways. Its pretty cheap, Its small and portable, it shouldn’t be too hard to learn with guitar experience, and its just totally sweet.

    This is a pretty decent one and its about 70 dollars. not bad?

    This ones a more ballin one that I am def not ready to commit to:

    OK so thats not where it gets brilliant. So what am I going to do with a uke once i get it? ready?

    …im gonna start a band.

    A marginalized instrument band. That’s rite. Im gonna get together all those instruments that were given that cockeyed glance and looked down upon by “real” instruments and we are going to unite. and ROCK!

    BAND SLOTS ARE OPEN AND AUDITIONS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED. ACT FAST TO CLAIM YOUR SPOT. MUSICAL SKILL NOT NECESSARY BUT ENCOURAGED. POSITIONS TO BE FILLED ARE AS FOLLOWS:

    BAND INSTRUMENTS
    Lead Ukulele: Poon
    Harmonica: Dan Lee
    Keytar with Synth Drums: TBD
    Recorder: TBD
    Triangle/Cowbell: TBD
    OTHER INSTRUMENTS OPEN TO SUGGESTION

    Possible band names include: The Marginalized Five, Dorkus Melorkus, and The Tim Poon High Five Auditory Experience (Hi5 for short).

    AGAIN ACT FAST CAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE HUGE. AND WE ARE GOING TO ROCK. LIKE SO HARD.

    PEACE,
    [Poon]

    (all comments/suggestions/applications: post in official band discussion forum in comments below.)

      lol what about an accordian!!! i see a lot of accordian players on the streets of spain, so while the US may be suffering a dearth of these jiving gems i can use my spanish to charm them into returning to chicago with me… just gimme like 2 more months =)

      another suggestion: in dublin i saw a man with two spoons jamming along with some traditional irish music. spoons poon! more spoons!

      aaaaaannnd this is why you shouldn’t surf on youtube at 4 in the morning.

      however… i do play a mad recorder…

    • heather 2:04 am on October 10, 2008 Permalink | Reply

      what about a PICALO! …hm but that may clash/accentuate the harmonica..not sure.. :p
      and also, when you say “lead ukulele” does that mean there’s going to be a secondary guy playing ukulele? like the backup ukulele?

    • dannylim 1:25 pm on October 10, 2008 Permalink | Reply

      can i play the cowbell? PLZ. PLZ?!?!?!

    • Dan Lee 9:43 pm on October 10, 2008 Permalink | Reply

      I don’t think harmonica is soo marginalized…its very well accepted in the blues world in fact, its preferred….but dont kick me out ….

      speaking of strange instruments…add this to the list….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIL_xrqjo1g

      and

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29o8C_0hGxw
