VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

[Moe Egan]

If I have to read the line "In tough economic times like these...." one more time....

It's almost become an acting exercise - to be able to read it each time like it's never been said before. Puts me in mind of DLF -someone asked him "Do you get bored with saying "In a world..." all the time? He responded with "You have to love the words. You have to believe in the words. It's all about service to the words. Always."

I just wish someone would come up with a different set of words.

Thank you for letting me vent and ponder. I feel much better.

Altenates:

Now that Capitalism is going down the crapper just like Communism...

Look in that wallet of yours. See those cobwebs?

We're all screwed in the el dinero scene, but it's okay...

Today it's trendy once again to impersonate parsimonious Old Scots...

We're going to just have a moment of silence for our economy for the next five minutes while we show graphics from our Q3 video from 1997. Thanks for watching...

how about:

"In A World of Tough Economic Times Like These...."

i guess you can respect the words, even though you are repelled by them...much like a poisonous snake.

"While the world wobbles on it's financial axis..."

"In tough economic times..." has surpassed the all-time classic tag line of "What are you waiting for?"

-Anthony

[Moe Egan]

So right Anthony- how about "But wait- there's more!"

Or...in this case, "But wait, there's less!"

I delete it from the copy and rewrite so the script isn't starting on a negative.

So far, no one has ever told me to "put it back".

"In tough economic times like these...it's such a relief when the check clears. Theirs - and mine!"
