You should have kept going to the third paragraph...

"We might have been able to overcome their efforts if we'd had great food, but the truly damning problem was that we didn't."

The place did suck but god bless them for trying.

I launched the original Pink Taco restaurant & bar in 1998. Now I have my sights set on making K-State the #1 public university in the world.

1 store  -->  $20K per year for K-State
10 stores  -->  $200K/yr
100 stores  -->  $2 million/yr
1,000 stores  -->  $20 million/yr
10,000 stores  -->  $200 million/yr (there are ~10,000 Pizza Huts)
100,000 stores  -->  $2 billion/yr

The last figure is the 25-year goal.

i'm back!  i didn't think the location sucked.  the picketers did.  the food did.  ultimately, there was no amount of money worth paying for the food they were serving and people realized that eating at a place named after a slang term for a women's vag was only cool for approx 3-7 minutes.

i remember them having pretty good beer prices.  but i think they lost their license after a while, can't remember for sure.

I don't think there is any other possible outcome given this dumbass's choice of names for his businesses.  It's like he just turned on sportcenter for the first time and thought that the Stu Scott guy may be onto something.  'Clams has covered his previous business name perfectly already.

Anyone remember the parking space in front of the fridge that rose from the earth like Everest? It was one of the best things about the place. You had to seriously accelerate really hard to get over it and then slam on your brakes to keep from flying into the store. Best parking space in Manhattan IMO

Hi there,

I created the Pink Taco restaurant & bar concept and opened the original in May 1998 — a year before the Mortons opened theirs.

He's crazy, for sure.  Mostly delusional.  The problem with characterizing him in that way, in my opinion, is that it leaves open the possibility that he could succeed.  Every once in a blue moon, someone called crazy proves everyone wrong and succeeds.  As miniscule as it is, that amount of hope is simply way too much to give JWS.  I prefer to think of him as very stupid.  It's more fun, too, since he's so clearly very impressed with his own intelligence.

So, any good ideas on how to sabotage his efforts?  I mean, outside of the things he will do himself.

I e-mailed him in an encouraging/degrading/helpful kind of way.  Focused mainly on topics discussed here and told him I hoped he suceeded.  He responded very basically that he would take the info into consideration.  We could do a blog post based on how awesome of an idea it is and link to it.  Just brainstorming here mind you.

Any acts of sabotage should be well planed and posted in detail on this board immediately (I'm talking within seconds) of the plan being executed. That way we have time and date evidence, so when he blogs about the emails he is receiving from either the owners of the existing Booyah Pizza in hate or the likes Donald Trump pledging support, it will make look even dumber.

I think we should butter him up first with a couple of emails from someone like "Boone Pickens" (or another random rich guy). We'll see if he takes the bait and blogs and business plans like crazy. Then we can it all down by placing a link in the comments section of his blog post back to this board, which will pre-date the blog post.

I haven't read the book, but I am far more inspired by harmony than I am by balance.

I hear about people saying, "you've got to have balance in your life, balance is the key!" and it just sounds like "blah, blah, blah" to me, because it doesn't really mean anything to me in a personal development sense. I can get on board with harmony, though.

What are some of these 12 key points that are in the book?

I am glad to have found this forum, it may be the one place where these thoughts are considered with some respect.

I have felt for a few years now like my internal monologue, which has been my primary method of reasoning (and I would have considered myself very rational, maybe too much so), I feel like my internal monologue is broadcast for anyone to hear. The most obvious times are with birds--my neighbors have some and it is 100% clear from their responses that they do hear my thoughts, and it's obvious to me that people are also recieving this. I recently moved to a city where it seems like everyone picks up on this and chastises me for it. Not only this, but in addition to the normal covert hypnosis techniques people use here, my loud internal monologue gives people a control over me.

I have only become aware of other people's telepathic communication on two occasions as far as I know. The first time was strange even by paranormal standards--my neighbors birds broadcast a clumsy "**** you" (the F sounds much different to bird ears) as I was drifting into sleep. The second time was last night. I have basically confirmed that others hear this voice of mine, and made the effort to quiet it, and heard a loud and irritated 'what the **** is that' from my next door neighbor, referencing my previous inability to silence it. Both of these events shocked me back into my full waking conciousness, complete with my persistent inner voice. Could I be using it as a defense mechanism against hearing others? I do often imagine what I would say to people, not only in general but also in the situation right in front of me--could this be because I instinctually know they hear it, and although I wouldn't dare say these things out loud I want to communicate it? I don't want to communicate these things though, and I feel that others' hearing me plan my speech before I say it is an invasion of privacy!

This is all new and a little scary and still somewhat doubtful to me. Does everyone hear my voice, or only some? Are people communicating to me without my knowledge, thereby making their thoughts seem as my own? I was doing math homework last night and repeating the letter P in the formula, and one Q, except when I looked over what I had written and what the problem stated, there were no Qs only Ps, and I believe the Q was planted by my roommate who was irritated at my constant chatter. Obviously, this is just the tip of the iceberg of possibilities that this open channel of communication can bring. How can I control it and use it to serve myself? Am I really just schizo?

Any advice or wisdom would mean a lot. Thanks.

Earlier this week, I started this thread: Everything is In My Mind

It was a discussion of the possibility that everything that is happening is happening purely in my mind. Basically a Subjective Reality model with a "single-player" assumption.

Today, I'd like to start another thread to discuss the alternative view of a "multi-player" Subjective Reality model.

Essentially, the theory being that there are billions of humans out there and each one of us is a little piece of the mass consciousness that is the Universe / God or whatever you want to call it.

We are all ONE at the level of consciousness, even though we are separate bodies while here on earth.

Based on this assumption, I'd like to discuss the optimal method of manifesting things in life, and I'd like to use a monetary figure of $100,000 as an example.

Assuming that we are all connected at the consciousness level, meaning I am you and you are me and we are everyone else at the level of consciousness, what is the optimal method for manifesting things like $100,000 for example?

My first guess would be that a Lightworker polarization is optimal because then we are completely aligning ourselves with the best interest of every other part of ourselves.

What do you guys think?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I know Brandon Sargent.  Brandon Sargent played drums in the middle school band and HAD A RAT TAIL UNTIL 8TH GRADE.  And if by "local 5-year veteran of the pizza industry," you mean "has worked at f-ing Pizza Shuttle for 5 f-ing years," then yes, he is a local 5-year veteran of the pizza industry.

What if a football team at a small community college were stocked entirely with players who were every bit as talented and motivated as those on a typical NFL team?

The single biggest idea behind Booyah! Pizza (and each ensuing division of Booyah! Inc) is to create and maintain this type of lopsided personnel advantage over our competitors.

Booyah is going to be the NFL equivalent of pizza :confused:

They also hope to encourage other businesses to follow in their footsteps.

Judging by this website using pictures of a kid on a laptop (likely doing important things), I can tell this company is legit.

"OK gang, we've got to get this Booyah! proposal analyzed as soon as we can. This might be an all-nighter." *groans* "Hey, I understand it's Martin Luther King weekend coming up, but everyone here at International Associates Worldwide Global, Inc. has to pull their weight!"
(http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1614/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1614R-5848.jpg)

"OK Jerry, proceed with your presentation."
----"As you can see, Booyah!'s sales exceeded 16 pizzas per second for a brief period in 2008, then fell due a negative quarterly earnings report which revealed they were giving half their money away. If they stop donating all their profits, however, we anticipate an upward trend in sales. This makes Booyah! the best investment ever."
(http://www.pemco.fi/www/images/stories/etusivu/ist2_3530872_businessman_drawing_a_graph_chart_white.jpg)

"Yes, I understand you want to submit your merger proposal, but Mr. Sperman is very busy. Fine, I'll see if I can fit you in. Can you fly out and meet us on the 17th?"
(http://pro.corbis.com/images/42-17731031.jpg?size=572&uid=%7B8D60EF1A-C0ED-4F27-95EE-C7BDD1F61274%7D)

"Jay, this is Ted Black from International Associates Worldwide Global, and I was supposed to fly out and meet with Mr. Sperman to deliver this proposal. Unfortunately I'm stuck at the airport in Duluth. I probably won't get there on time."
(http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1612/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1612R-1895.jpg)

"I'm sorry to hear that. This is a grave concern. Mr. Sperman is extremely busy and has very few windows of opportunity with which to meet other businessmen. Please get here as soon as you can."
(http://www.govbizsolutions.com/businessman.jpg)

"Well the deal looks good on paper! I'm confident that Booyah! Inc. and Booyah! Pizza can live with these merger terms. Congratulations, and we'll get the paperwork sent over on Monday."
(http://internationalunited.com/db1/00090/internationalunited.com/_uimages/Businessman.jpg)

"Mr. Sperman!? Yes it's Eric, your personal assistant... It's a done deal! Our people met with their people and now Booyah! is going to be the most profitable company in the world!"

No Hassle Groceries was designed to serve as a large-scale fundraising engine for Manhattan-based philanthropy. To this end, we will perpetually donate 50% of our gross profit to various K-State departments. This is a permanent policy, and one that goes for any future stores, too.

See, this is where he's going wrong. You can't donate 50% of your gross and expect to stay in business. That is unless you're totally cleaning house and your profit margins are off the chart. If he wants to donate 50% of his NET, that's doable, it just means less money for him. I like the dude's enthusiasm but maybe he should take some business courses. Or just get a clue.
