Thanks, Steve.:annoyed: Now I'm craving an In-n-Out burger, animal style.

FWIW, In-n-Out has red trim on their white walls and See's has black trim.

Me too!!! I LOVE the animal style cheeseburger! Especially good with the Neapolitan shake and fries, if my arteries can handle it.

PS - Where did you find that picture? My wife say that guy looks just like I do when when we eat at In-N-Out, except my smile is so big you can see my lower teeth too!

I almost thought this post was an early April Fools joke. Boycott buying Godiva chocolate because of not being given a piece of ribbon? LMAO ...

'Boycott Godiva' = #1
'Godiva ribbon' = #22 (and probably climbing)

Godiva couldn't pay for such great online social media marketing that TUG is giving them now for free!!!

There was a guy at church (w-a-a-a-y back when I used to go to church) named Mr. Dingleberry.

He found that people did not take him seriously in business because of his last name.

So he went to court & had his last name changed to Dawson.

Now when I meet people named Dawson, I wonder whether their name used to be Dingleberry -- not that there's anything wrong with that.

Full Disclosure: I am not making this up.

-- Alan Cole, McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA.​

When I was a kid my Uncle had a client named Mr. Wolfcrap. When we first heard the name we became uncontrollably hystrical with laughter. My Uncle was a pretty serious guy and said he was not making the name up.

I think the guy would have been better off changing his name to Dingleberry.

If you do a google seach on "boycott Godiva" this thread comes up in the top two. By keeping this thread going we are spreading the OP's plea to boycott Godiva. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (sorry, Alan)

...This thread is in the top TWO?? You mean there's ANOTHER boycott Godiva thread???? What didn't they get for free? a pretty box?? (sorry, radmoo, can't resist:rolleyes: )

And this thread doesn't even register at all in a search for "boycott Godiva" at Bing.

Frankly, that doesn't give me much confidence in Bing as a search engine.

Bing search promotes itself as a "decision engine". If we put a question mark after boycott godiva (Boycott Godiva?) it would surely show up on a bing with an answer. :)

Now this thread shows up at #11 on Bing - or perhaps I just overlooked it yesterday.

:hysterical: I can't believe you mentioned the cartoon bears! I always picture them with their TP and newspapers wandering into the Cialis bathtub scenes and all heck breaks loose!

Which reminds me, THAT is an ad campaign that makes no sense to me at all. None. As long as those two are in separate tubs, all the Cialis in the world isn't going to solve their problems.

LOL!! Never thought about the bears finding the tubs!

And, yeah, separate tubs... good luck, folks.

Charmin bears had a little logo placement thing I saw on tv last night. It was bad, something like "Enjoy the go!"

eeeee, yeah, i dunno... that's rather unlikely.

I mean, really:

"Hi Honey, how are you?"

"I'm GREAT!!! I just had the Go of my life and I really enjoyed it. Did you have any fun BMs today?"

ew. can't we go back to whispering diarreah and not hearing about feminine itch or non-saluting male parts?

Does Radmoo work for Godiva?

I'm sitting here thinking while trying not to hurt myself. Do you believe Radmoo may work for Godiva? Think about it! Is there any way Godiva Chocolate could have garnered this kind of attention if Radmoo had urged us to buy all of the Godiva chocolate we could get our chubby little hands on? What a marketing genius this Radmoo is. Forget the ribbon Godiva, give Radmoo a raise! :banana:

Great! Now we just have to put a little more into a bigger lead. Given the way this thread is going it is about time for Alan to post his picture of the toilet bowl. It is truly a classic, a group favorite, and appropriate for any topic. :)

Their response to customer loyalty is the pits. If you want the correspondence, PM me and I'll be happy to share . .too long to post here.
But since Valentine's Day is Sunday, PLEASE, buy your chocolates from a retailer who CARES about YOUR business, no matter how little or much you spend!!!!!

I am assuming life is pretty good for you. Enjoy!

Glad to oblige.

I heard that when the organizing committee for one of the NCAA post-season Holiday football extravaganzas was shopping for sponsor, the Kohler plumbing fixture people expressed interest in coming on-board. Negotiations were proceeding nicely until someone realized that the game would instantly become known as the Toilet Bowl.

The committee realized they needed a different sponsor. They were desperate and figured anything would be better than Kohler.

Thus we now have the Poulan Weed-Eater Bowl.

Maryland To The Toilet Bowl !

Negotiations were proceeding nicely until someone realized that the game would instantly become known as the Toilet Bowl.
Back when I was in college (i.e., w-a-a-a-y back in the good old olden days), the University Of Virginia was notoriously bad at varsity football & had a string of losing seasons to back it up.

Things started to turn round when Dick Voris was fired as head coach & Bill Elias was hired away from George Washington University.

During Elias's initial year at U.Va., Virginia was to face powerhouse University Of Maryland in the final game of the season. Maryland had tentatively been slated for the Gator Bowl, on the assumption they would have no trouble beating pushover Virginia.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the Gator Bowl.

In that final regular season game, with Virginia pulling out a 28-16 win over Maryland, the crowd went crazy, chanting, "Virginia to the Gator Bowl! Maryland to the Toilet Bowl!"

Ever since then, my favorite college varsity teams (any sport) are U.Va. & whoever's playing against Maryland.

My life's journey has been far too complex to have me worry about foolish comments posted by small minded folk.
