Air New Zealand Skull Billboard Contest

325x425_baldcampaign

Air New Zealand (www.airnewzealand.com) is holding a casting call to select 30 adults that will shave their heads and have a message tattooed on their cranium.  Something that was made famous on eBay years ago is now an accepted marketing practice.

I think it’s a good thing, because most people will stare at someone, that isn’t bald, but has their head shaved.  And when they see the back has a message tattooed on it, they are likely to talk to another person about it.  So from a marketing stand point, I think it is a real great idea.  I am not sure if there is anyway to tell if marketing like this even works, but it’s worth a shot.

I think we have a shot of at least two guys that would be perfect for the job :)

I think that if I was asked to do this I would.  It seems fun, you can help out an advertiser and make some extra money on the side.  The whole thing with Air New Zealand is about sending you on a life changing journey.  I haven’t really been on any such journey, but I am young yet, so you never know.

Traveling to any country outside of the United States would be a life changing journey in my opinion.  Seeing different cultures and ways of life would really open up ones eyes to the world.

Football Day Tomorrow – Yahoo Pro Football Pickem Update

So tomorrow is Sunday, or better known as, football day.  After looking at the point spreads this week, I am just not confident that I can trust the favorites to cover.

After watching teams like Washington and Minnesota not winning/covering the point spread, I am not sure I can use any strategy to win this week.  I am in 3rd place right now and about 8 points from the leader who has won the last 3 weeks!  I think it is going to be tough to catch him, but if I can keep up with some football news, like if Romo is going to play or not, then I think I have a chance.

I think that I am going to keep with my normal weekly strategy of picking a couple of upsets.  This has proven to be working, especially when you choose a winner that 99% of the pool didn’t choose.  You can move right up the ladder in a few short weeks, with that technique.

Anywho, wish me luck, there is a real jackass at the top and I would like to “de-throne” him this week!

There are plenty of dating sites online, even free ones, but I think that we all know you get what you pay for, right?  I just wanted to let you guys now that you can sign up for FREE at True.com.  True.com is a great place to browse thousands of potential mates all in one place.

Online dating is ackward and can become a headache when trying to filter through the trash and get 110% authentic matches.  At True.com you can search for free and use the filters to narrow down your search in a couple simple steps.  Some of the key reasons you should use True:

  • Millions of members
  • Scientific compatibility testing
  • Criminal screenings for felonies – We can’t guarantee criminals won’t get on the site, but we can guarantee they’ll be sorry if they do.

Other great features on the web site include a coaching center, tips & advice area and an easy-to-navigate customer care center.  With all of these features at your finger tips, finding TRUE love won’t be that hard.  After going to the site and signing up for FREE, I went through the whole process and it only took me about 5 minutes!  Along the way, there was a nice little counter at the top of the page, telling me approximately how many matches I had based on the criteria I was searching for.

At the end of the signup process you are asked to complete a form for the 3 day trial.  The web site will cost you $49.99 per month after those 3 days, but you can cancel at anytime.  Remember when I said that you get what you pay for?  Check out quality singles at True.com.

What Crappy Weather We Are Having!

I woke up this morning to a “way to cold and wet” fall type day.  All of my bones creek and I feel like I was hit on the head with a brick.  I have been getting good sleep and I don’t feel sick or anything from the flu that is going around, so I am going to blame this on the crappy weather.

Wisconsin is known to get their share of crappy weather, without a doubt.  The winter last what feels like 6 months and when it’s HOT, it’s HOT.  The fall time isn’t any different at all.  Usually mixed with a bit from all 4 seasons, the fall is short, but it sometimes hit’s pretty hard.

How do you feel about the weather in your area today?
