Aniston, Ho?

Dear Editor,

Hi, we saw your message on ezboard.com and we think your [ie. you're] mean to call Jennifer Aniston a ho!!!

-- Tiff & Anna

Dear T & A,

Rest assured that we do NOT think Jennifer Aniston is a ho!!! We had no idea that the link we posted (http://anecdotage.com/browse.php?category=people&who=aniston) would be truncated to read: "www.anecdotage.com/browse... ho=aniston"!

Thanks for notifying us - we'll post messages about Pamela Anderson and Christina Aguilera ASAP.

Cheers

Oven Mitts?

Dear Editor,

Two South Africans have invented a condom which can be unwrapped and fitted within three seconds (http://www.ananova.com/news/ story/sm_662965.html)! They may not be famous yet, but they will be soon!

-- Josh

Josh,

Thanks for the, uh, heads up.. Loved this line: "The inventors say it's much quicker than the usual 30 to 40 seconds it takes to fit a condom..." 30 to 40 SECONDS!? Hello!? Are they wearing oven mitts??

Okay, gonna go & do somethg productive (like search for that "Beckham has a small penis" story ;)

Age of Ford

Dear Editor,

While looking under "Guns", I found an anecdote about Harrison Ford. It includes this bio:

Ford, Harrison (1879-1961), American actor [noted for his roles in such films as Star Wars (1977), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Witness (1985, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations), Patriot Games (1992), The Fugitive (1993)...

Not bad... All his films were made after his death!

Chuck,

Good point - and good eye! Only a fugitive would lie about his death ;) Indeed, Ford was born in 1942 and, though he is getting old, he was, at presstime, still very much alive!

Cheers

Nick Nostitz

Dear Editor,

I just saw a show on "Sex TV" about Nick Nostitz, a photographer who spent seven years filming prostitutes and sex tourists in Thailand. It's really interesting and has lots of anecdotes if you can find it.

-- Art

Art,

Nick Nostitz? I`m sure he does! Thanks for the tip.

Sticky Eyeballs

Dear Editor,

Okay, I'm gonna get all stupid here for a second ... just bear with me.

As of its launch, anecdotage's revenue stream will depend on advertising, right? And advertising $$ are contingent on the number of site visitors? Which means that the primary goal (other than to entertain/educate/etc.) is to get big numbers, ASAP?

I have a few ideas for pulling visitors to the site but want to know w/not I've got this "business model" straight... basically, from a revenue perspective, you need large numbers of visitors, yeah?

Dotingly,
-- Jeni

Jeni,

lol - ya, here's an outline of our revenue model (RM):

$$ = PIS1 + PIS2 + PIS3
where PIS denotes a 'partial income stream'

More specifically,
$$ = AS (affiliate sales) + AR (ad revs) + BS (book sales)

Note: I expect the balance to shift from left to right with time until $$ = almost complete BS ;)

oh, btw SEX does factor in:
Sticky Eyeballs = Xtreme $$

Mission Statement

Dear Editors,

I've just read about your mission to become the world's widest web of anecdotes. Sounds great, but you already are by a mile! Good job! Keep up the good work!
