Frank and all,
Your response here Frank gave me a great idea. I was thinking about
marketing some Esther/Mike/ICANN barf bags with the ICANN
Boards picture on the outside and in the bottom of the inside of
the bag, and selling them on the internet. Any idea for a good
Domain name that would be rememarable, short and otherwise
easily marketable?
I bet the airlines, gift shops, and maybe even adult gift shops
would buy these!!! >;)
We could even send some complementary Esther/Mike/ICANN
Barf Bags to every member of the senate, house of representatives,
and the WTO Reps!!!
Frank or any one, please send me your Domain Name ideas
for this venture and your interest level privatly please! >;)
Oh yes, and Joe Baptista, we can make the barf bags our of
red latex! ROFLMAO!!!
God I love it when a plan comes together!!! >;)
