Magazin On The Secrets Of Selling

There is just something fun about being someone else. Alice and Wonderland Costumes as well as any other Disney costume help in the magic of entering into the world of another person for a little while. Whether you are an adult or newborn it’s just plain fun to be a Disney character.

But what makes someone choose a Disney character? What makes a favorite a favorite? Perhaps because that character is a bit of us that we want to embrace. All of us have character and Disney put them in a magical package for us to enjoy.

A costume can represent a bit of ourselves that we may not even see. You may be Mrs. Potts, the hostess with moistest, or perhaps a bit devilish like Cruella Deville. You may be running around like Rabbit in who seems to be created before the term obsessive compulsive became popular. Or maybe you are more like Winnie the Pooh and somehow thinking how to get your head out of a honey pot because you just couldn’t control yourself. And a lot of people still choose the very popular Adult Mickey Mouse costume.

Who wouldn’t want to be princess for a day or why not two? There is an array of Disney costumes to choose which princess fits your mood. Do you see the beauty in a beast like Belle or wish to have another life like Ariel.

The Disney secret of capturing what we have inside of us and putting it to film is amazing. By being one of these characters we want to embrace who there are and have others see that in us as well.

The best thing about Disney is that there is always a happy ending. Don’t we all wish that for our lives? It is what we strive for, keeps us going to the next day, that we will get our happily ever after. With an Adult Disney costume we can dress up day after day and dream of our happily ever after and make it through another day.

You hate either the Yellow Jackets or Bulldogs part of the time,
but hate the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Penn State Nittany
Lions, the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Michigan Wolverines, and any
other large northern football playing university all of the time.

You think that one of those t-shirts dyed with red mud is truly
a time saving idea.

You often wonder why anyone would be crazy enough to live
someplace else, especially anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon
Line.

You still hold a car door open for a lady, and you still pay for
her dinner when you take her out, no matter how little of her
entree she actually ends up eating.

You know exactly what a brim is.

You understand that Dave Barry is a good writer, but that Lewis
Grizzard was a great writer.

You remember what drink boxes and hoop cheese were.

You smile and act like you really do want to go up to Six Flags
and ride all those roller coasters…

You’re convinced that Super Bowl Sunday ought to be a national
holiday.

You smile anytime you hear the words Tybee, St. Simons, or

wine” and “chuggin’ wine.”

Racing - cars - wohooo eh? - who wouldn’t love racing cars - but some cars use this to make you buy them - for example the daihatsu sportrak - I mean by the name it sounds like an athletic tank like car that will be faster than a lambo but believe me it turns out its not.

I brought the car without test driving it <- mistake number 1 - I then took it home the back roads only to puncture a tyre and realise there is no spare <-mistake number 2 - then realising I had left my mobile at home <- mistake number 3 - I had to walk home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - grr to the rrrrr

If you go around comparing silly things like shops to worms it gets a bit difficult trying to choose a winner. For example my cousin reckons there is a remote control car that goes faster than my modified toyota supra - I tend to disagree because this isn’t any modified toyota - this thing has a single turbo conversion, insane fuel pump and seats that are so bucketed you could probably use them to bail out the titanic. So he said prove it - lets race these things - But we did and I crushed his rc car - whops…spose that will teach him for thinking he knows better than me eh? silly bloddy kids.

When I was a kid I was well into my cars, I loved cruising around in my small engined lexus and Generally messing about cars. I spent years learning mechanics and how to fix up used cars, I would spend Saturday trawling through the used cars for sale pages of the paper and buying small cars, doing them up and selling them on. This works pretty damn well, I have probably done this process over 50 times, starting with cars in west wales then upscaling to doing cars within 100 miles - It was a busy few years but I made a good killing from the used car fixing process. Its calming too doing mechanics, just pissing about with oil spanners and parts. Fixing new break pads, doing the basics. Its been tempting recently to rejuvenate an old classic…but maybe thats a bit of a big process.

IT’S SEPTEMBER SILLY!

Or, 30 thrilling things to do this month!

Compiled by Lady Beatrice Blitterlees and edited by Lord Earl Craboon

September is the 9th month of the year. No one has a clue why they call it “Sept”ember meaning “seventh” in French, instead of “Neuf” meaning “ninth”.

Obviously “The Association for the Correct Name of Things” hasn’t got around to fixing this error. They have many more important things to do, such as coming up with a name for the newest planet in the solar system.

Anyway, “neuf” or not, remember to get the little nippers off to school on time, and then hot-foot into work with a perky smile on your face before your boss hands you a pink slip this month.

Well now that we’ve got all that yucky-pooh stuff out of the way, we can all begin to have some fun. After all, we’ve only got another couple of months before celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving and the biggest gift-giving bonanza of them all!

In the meantime, we’ll just practice our prattle n’ puck skills this month just to limber up for the good times ahead.

So without further whatnot and wherefore, just join in and have a ball over the next 30 days doing what comes naturally.

Our Rural community yesterday experienced a whole new type of show, used tractor man or just tractor for short came to show us his wild tractor robots. These things are properly humanised robots that stand 30 ft tall and can walk like any human, yet transform back into a tractor within less than 15 seconds - seriously just like the transformers movie - these tractors rule! one of the tractors was red and the other blue, the blue tractor used its smaller wheels as equivelent hands and the exhaust pipe as its head - very novel! If you ever see a small poster with a tractor robot standing on it then I would recommend you go and see him, What amazes me is there is nothing about it on the internet anywhere - you think a real life transformer 30ft tall that looks like a normal tractor most of the time would get some sort of attention! Seriously - Used Tractor Robot man rules!

We wouldn’t even hazard a guess at the odds against such a outcome, but the runoff election in New Orleans looks about as bizarre as anything you’re likely to see even in the Mardi Gras.

Roy Nagen, the Mr. Malaprop of mayoral politics, who alienated white voters when he voiced the proud hope of making the city, in the wake of Katrina, “chocolate again,” has gotten himself caught up in a runoff election with a white guy, Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu, who, at least to us, looks just like a paler version of Roy himself.

Answer the following true or false questions:

Do both gentlemen shave their heads?

Do both have similarly round faces?

Do both of their ears curve the same way?

Are their noses amazingly similar?

So what’s going on here? Is clever Roy actually both candidates? Could he have asked Michael Jackson for advice on how he might transform himself into a whiter shade of Roy?

As the saying goes, if it walks like a bird from the bayou and it talks like a bird from the bayou, it must be a bird from the bayou.

All we can say is, may the best man win, especially if the two candidates are different men.

Tom Attea, creator of Newslaugh.com, has had six shows produced Off-Broadway and has written comedy for TV. Critics have called his writing “”delightfully funny” and “witty” with “good, genuine laughs.”

I have never seen such an awesome car quiz as this one. Fun car quizs on the net usually just result in some boring outcome where they tell you to drive slower or sell your car. But I found a cool one that asks 10 questions about you and then gives you which car you are most like, pretty cool.

Best bit is you get a little widget at the end which lets you show everyone else a cool little photo of the car you are - I am a bugatti veyron obviously so my badge is a wiked one.

Anyway I seriously recommend checking out this neat little car quiz!

REVIEW: shengQi petrol rc truck

9/10

Today I brought a shengQi petrol rc truck from Wheels-Near-U. Seriously cool truck that was a lot bigger when I recieved it than I had previously Imagined.

First thing I noticed out of the box was my god does this thing look cool. This RC truck is even cooler looking the real thing, I saw a hummer at a car show and this thing looks cooler - Its higher suspension gives it a menacing appearance.

Secondly its bloddy sturdy - the suspension is strong and the shell appears to be very squash/smash/crash into a tree proof.

So then I just poured some petrol/2stroke into a can and then into the truck - and BOOM - my god it goes - I started the truck and fully opened the throttle in a field - this car shot off so fast you can barely keep up with it!

So overall I would recommend this truck so far - only had the rc for 2 days but its been so much fun!!!!
