I worked with her the next day. Funny shit. I'm not working there anymore since it was just killing time till my new lease started in gainesville so it doesn't matter. I told my friend when we drove to orlando and he just laughed for about 5 minutes straight. Great success! I have a much much better lookin girl i can probably get back with in gainesville that i'll probably just hold out until.

lol @ banging a fat person, then going to "gainsville" to find a better looking girl

[kunk75]

explain, i.e., in what capacity?

Where can I get some decent information on how to get PR for small business? Never done this one before.

[Guest jeffvyain]

For the most part, I'm just wondering where to start. We're a technology integration company. Cool shit is going on all the time in the industry, and we're consistently doing some pretty cool stuff ourselves... Getting people to care, though, I'm not too familiar with.

Here's a story about one of our biggest competitors:

I want one of those....the theater and the story.

[kunk75]

i don't know what kind of "technology" we're talking but a wordpress site that you can frequently update gives you a good start so far as self-promotion. you can always ask 3rd party companies if you can borrow equity from them or get featured on one of their sites in a barter-type relationship. customer testimonials, too.

organic/word-of-mouth pr is generally best/easiest.

Word of mouth has been about 98% of our marketing since this company began 19 years ago. Since I joined in 6 months ago, I've been focusing about 30% of my time toward marketing. We just got in with iContact to start sending out monthly newsletters, which we're also dropping off in some of the most booming subdivisions in the area and making available on our website. We've also done more salesy mailers and such and have a number of other small marketing ventures in place as well, but have had little success with those. I wanted to delve a bit into free press, but I'm just trying to get an idea of where to start.

Customer testimonials is a good idea and has been in the back of my mind for a bit, just haven't put it into action yet.

Thanks kunk. You da man--da big man.

Nigga, you been to gainesville instead of just hearing rumors? Sure there are smarty pants ugos, but seriously? Walking around campus to just one class and you always find plenty of neck breakers. I ain't on that CWG tip with this girl though. There are tons of hot wannabe hipster girls if you want to come here and pretend it's toronto though. Shit, they're multiplying by the day it seems. I'm not really complaining, but they're basically just the new corny sorority girl as far as i'm concerned. You come down, i hook you up. Don't bring dolly. I won't tell.

It's one of the advantages of living in florida. Everywhere is pretty beach oriented or influenced so most girls know they have to stay hot pretty much year round. I love the competition. Adam smith knows what's up.

Or we can do a trade. Hot corny white hipster girls for super hot hispanic girls. Don't worry, i won't rip you off by throwing you some cuban or puerto rican. She'll be either part mainland spain, or on that south american tip.

[constant struggle]

chrono what is the poundage on this girl?

was this a supermarket special like 2.99/lb or something for a fatty steak?

did you dip her in worchester

[Guest jeffvyain]

i know this was confirmed yesterday, but worchestershire sauce is the shit. i use that stuff in my beeny weenies. it does it right.

[Leonard Leroy]

i just made a gourmet style 3 dollar chuck steak this morning. Ate it up. Ate it all up. With worchestershire sauce. Was thinking of taking a picture of it, but I ate it instead.

[Leonard Leroy]

or maybe you would have to because sometimes after a certain poundage that shit illegal.

[broneck]

Nigga, you been to gainesville instead of just hearing rumors?

i know nothing about gainesville at all. . .it was more the whole "fat" and "gainesville" thing...like "gain-weight-sville"

yeah.

[chronoaug]

Still wanna trade? I'll dig up koiphan's old thread to learn how to formally do these things. I know you're a big drinker and all, but if you ever come here, it won't be the big fish in a small pond thing like you got up there. Some serious ass white trash drinkers here.

We talking grilling now? Any of you guys ever made homemade chimmichurri for your steak? It's not even fair. So fucking good, especially on a relatively thin piece of steak with a good crust on it.

[constant struggle]

my grillin the other night:

took some chicken breasts marinated for 3 hours in: extra virgin olive oil, pinot grigio, peppercorn, garlic, cilantro, and thyme

took some red potatos, skewered, with honey, olive oil, garlic powder and peppercorn

took some portabella mushrooms made a little foil container, put some balsamic all over that

grilled it all

delicious

i'm salivating. and writing this down...

grilling suggestion:

salmon-

marinate in honey, teriyaki, soy for 2-3 hrs. grill. mmmm

[chronoaug]

smh @ my friend's dad cooking still cold not fully thawed steaks last week. "they'll thaw out and cook fine on the grill." Nothing's blander than your standard middle aged white dad's bbq.

[constant struggle]

if you want a good summer pasta salad as a side to your grilling do this: get some pasta, could be bowties, anything really besides linguini and other long strands.

Cook the pasta till its the texture you like, then in a side pot cook some sundried tomatoes, spinach, extra virgin olive oil and garlic, just do this until the spinach and tomatoes are soft...

now combine this all, sprinkle with pecorino romano cheese and stick in the fridge and eat cold

it is delicious, the sundried tomatoes pull it all together nicely

[billy.]

next time your in seaside i'm hitting you up for food.

[Leonard Leroy]

alright now i'm going to ahve some pasta since you mention it. mmmmm mmmm mmmm

[constant struggle]

i think i've made myself hungry, too early for lunch

[Leonard Leroy]

my stomach is a bottomless pit.

Damnit i wish i had some nice italian bread around

[billy.]

anyone got breakfast recommendations.

woke up late..

[constant struggle]

keep it simple, get two eggs, some cheese, some milk mix that all together and you got a banging scrambled egg, side of wheat toast

[thedaniway]

constant are you a chef? if not, will you come and cook for me anyways?

[constant struggle]

i'm not a chef at all, when i lived away at college and had to fend for myself, my friend and i decided we weren't eating peasant status every night, and actually cooked

[Guest jeffvyain]

my stomach is a bottomless pit.

Damnit i wish i had some nice italian bread around

nothing like a fresh 3-foot long baguette from the grocery store. shit's like 2 bucks and a good filler

[constant struggle]

question for you japanese folk:

do you make sushi at home, i tried doing that, but i'm not japanese, and while it tasted okay, it took like 45 minutes to make one roll, so do any of you enjoy sushi on the regular home made?

[Leonard Leroy]
