Okay, folks, in response to "angel" - - here it is - - your very own JPG file of my big - - American-wide - - flaming-red - - Pompous (kiss my) Ass logo - - for reproduction as a centerpiece to your Fodorite's lapel pin/ribbon: <BR> <BR>www.geocities.com/rexbickers/PAlogo.jpg <BR> <BR>Use it with all due caution, respect and pedantry. <BR> <BR>

I'm thinking about manufacturing these and selling them, more or less at cost. <BR> <BR>But where, oh where could I promote them? <BR> <BR>Perhaps if someone started a chain letter e-mail campaign. E-mail one other Fodorite with whom you already correspond (no "spam" - - which is by deifinition, e-mailing unsolicited to people who you don't know), and pass it on, with a cc: back to me. <BR> <BR>Am I just kidding? Well, maybe... <BR>

Very sorry for this, but for technical reasons, I have found that I need to re-name the file, cited above. <BR> <BR>The corrected file name is: <BR> <BR>www.geocities.com/rexbickers/PAlogo.htm <BR>

I think that we all should wear a bright blue sash with FODORITE spelled out in bright pink (damn wheres that smiley face) Actually it could be interesting, expecially if you walk up to the wrong person. Great way of meeting new people if they are not fodorites. <BR>

Alas! 19 people have viewed the PA Logo file - - and not one single order to buy a finished ribbon! <BR> <BR>Another empire-building business plan dashed! <BR>

Well, gee, the whole undertaking was meant purely in jest - - I was interested in seeing how many people would take a look - - and it was half-serious at best that I suggested a chain e-mail would be my sole marketing campaign. <BR> <BR>And it remains a lark at best - - but what the heck, if there is demand from a dozen or so people (considering that not even two people have even looked at my "logo" yet), I might make up a batch. So send me an e-mail, and if you want to, make it a chain letter with your name and the e-mail address of one ONE someone else you KNOW (FROM this board - - no wholesale compilations of address book entries). <BR> <BR>Tell me if you want the "real" F*dor's logo or the PA one (or none). And be sure you tell me when you are going to Europe. I'm not going to dig into this tomorrow. <BR> <BR>Ludicrously yours... <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

There are those few who have not joined the PA Group...maybe not enough travel experience, lack of time to get involved in the squabbles, etc. that will be wearing plain Fodor's Blue...besides, Elizabeth Cross is not my real name. Isn't it sad, tho, that, once again, there is division.

Rex - sign me up - that's my real email address. I'll be in Germany March 29 and 30, then Italy from the 1st through the 7th of April, back to Germany until the 10th. My blue ribbon will be either on me or my dayback.

Celia, <BR> <BR>If you just want the logo, you don't need me to e-mail it to you, just right click on it, and you will see "Save Picture as..." Your browser knows how to do the rest. <BR> <BR>And Stacey, okay. You are my first "order". Let's chain letter this thing across the universe. Send me an e-mail, and cc: it to one other fodorite you know (maybe you don't know any others, in which case that's okay - - someone volunteer to "meet" Stacey, okay, people?) and of course, I will need your mailing address to send it to you. <BR> <BR>Let's allow the board to determine what is a fair price. Do I hear an opening bid of two dollars? <BR> <BR>I'll work on my first "batch" of these things probably next weekend. <BR>

Okay - Fodor's has seen and acknowledged the pin idea. Now what? Rex - I'm sending you an email anyway.
