Now Here's An Idea To Get Behind
1999-11-15 12:24:58
Regular Pigdog readers will recall that last year, an article was published here that managed to turn Adbusters into mortal enemies. The article in question dared to take their (possibly stolen) holy cow, "Buy Nothing Day", and grind it up into delicious hamburger. It's a pleasure to have recently discovered that the feelings of despise for this feel-good circle-jerk are spreading like wildfire.
In Montreal, Canadia, individuals have come up with a reasonable and effective protest to surpass the ineffective "BnD" called "Steal Something Day."
According to the "SSD" website: "Unlike the misplaced Buy Nothing Day notion of consumer empowerment, Steal Something Day promotes empowerment by urging us to collectively identify the greedy bastards who are actually responsible for promoting misery and boredom in this world. Instead of ignoring them, Steal Something Day encourages us to make their lives as uncomfortable as possible."
Sounds like total genius!
So, this November 26, blast King Missile's "Take Stuff From Work" and be a total liquidator on the economy, as well as society in general!

It's not like I have a heroin problem, see. I'm just a self-indulgent brat who likes to live beyond her means. When I zip down to my corner Money Mart for a little cash-till-payday loan, I'm really not planning to spend it on drugs. I'll spend it on sushi. Seventy bucks of interest for a two-week $400 loan is perfectly reasonable, if you really need that hamachi. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
