The Agrinautica

   Yesterday I missplaced my pen. I think I left it at Harbour House. I hate losing pens. This one I'd managed to keep for about two months.
   I needed a new pen though so I went out to guy buy one, and while I'm at it some other stuff like gelatine and green hair dye.
   The only place down here I could think of to get green hair dye was hot topic. I feel dirty going in that place. Its the poser supply store, mass marketting the anti-mass-market mentality to plaztarded posers. The whole store is an insult to punk.
   Anyway, so I go in there and who do I see but Wild Rivers supervisor Randy Jostelin (sp?!), possibly one of the last people I'd expect to see in there (he was pushing a stroller with his two little childrens, and wearing his Wild Rivers polo shirt). So I'm talking to him and I mention that I work for Bee Busters now, and the girl that works there is like "Bee Busters? My neighbour Jeremy works there!"
   Then Randy said they've had The Bee Man over there several times lately. I of course told him they should switch over to Bee Busters asap. He said to email him.

   Now you see, the apiacide industry (beekeeping = apiaculture, beehives = apiaries, etc) around here is someone of a tense competition. Our two competitors that I know of (besides shadier ones which are too transient to discuss) are The Bee Man and Buzz Off. The Bee Man is our main competitor. He got a real leg up on us several years ago when our office manager defected to him with our client list, paperwork and a large portion of our treasury. Our fearless leader Theodore D. Marder III (Dave) eventually won a lawsuit against the defector and with the proceeds purchased his new roadster, which he consequently gave the liscence plate of vndc8ion (or something like that).
   Buzz Off isn't as much competition but is at least as evil. The Buzz Off man started his business as one of our own technicians... using our equipment! Dave discovered this knavery when he checked a seldom used company voicemailbox and found the messege to be "welcome to buzz off" (while the guy still worked here).

   So yeah, its time to jostle Wild Rivers away from the infidels.
