It's the Weekly What? for Friday, October 26th
Is your costume ready?We're in the home stretch now, just a few more days and then it's officially Halloween! (The Writing Room Monkeys are already murmuring "candy, candy, candy" over their Smith-Coronas.) You've got just this weekend for final preparations, maybe take the costume out for a test run, get some more candy, that sort of thing. Either that or add more barbed-wire to your front lawn and ready the garden hoses with high-pressure nozzles. So, go check out the terrine, read up on Facebook etiquette, some other stuff, and then click over to our Facebook page and weigh in on this week's question: "What are your awesome plans for Halloween?" 
We don't think we shall ever see a feline poem as beautiful as a tree...Anyone who has ever shared a living space with a cat will immediately identify with this cat poetry. No, it's not poetry about cats, but poetry written by cats. (Yes, we know. Cats don't have thumbs so how could they possibly write poetry? Well then maybe this book isn't for you.) If you've got an office "assistant" then "Your Keyboard" will have you in stitches. (It looks strangely like the output from the Writing Room Monkeys. We have to do sooo much editing and clean-up on their work.) Go check it out! >> PSA: Are YOU a Facebook junkie?Do you get the cold sweats when you can't access Facebook? Do you experience irrational rage when the Facebook app on your phone won't work properly? If so, you may suffer from Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). Don't forget to update your status before you seek help! >> Facebook etiquette for the more well-adjusted among youThis article is packed with tons of useful tips for comporting oneself in an appropriate and civilised manner. (Please note our use of the more civilised spelling of "civilised." It's got the "s" in there.) One of the most important tips, in our opinion, is that of timing. As in: Don't call in sick and then spend the entire day Facebooking about the awesome green gator shoes you found while "popping tags" at Goodwill. There's no hiding on Facebook! >> How are we doing? Got a hot news tip? Something to share? Click here to drop us a line! The elevator pitch is dead!Ah, the "elevator pitch," ever the staple of sales and marketing folks everywhere. We think that being able to quickly communicate what your business is about in just a few moments is generally a good idea. Certainly preferable to droning on and on about mission statements and core values and blah blah blah wake us up when it's over. Unfortunately most elevator pitches are run through the board room so many times that they have lots of polish but little compelling substance. All around smart guy Seth Godin proposes an new approach to elevator pitches: something more like a teaser that gets the listener to want to know more. As Seth says "No one ever bought anything on an elevator." >> Someone hide the forks!You know what? Utensils wouldn't matter... if this peanut butter cup and pretzel "terrine" were placed in front of us, we'd just go ahead and dig in with our hands! Just dig right in there! (Once you check out the recipe you'll understand.) And what's a "terrine" anyway? We don't know but we DO understand that "peanut butter cup" and "pretzel" in the same sentence translates to "yes please!" Omigosh. There's ice cream in there too! >> So if the terrine doesn't last too long...You can move on to these "cocoa cobweb cupcakes." Plus they're a treat that's actually "Halloween Compliant" which the terrine technically wasn't. It just looked too good to not share with our loyal readers. Anyway, we're talking about cupcakes with cobweb frosting. Really, this recipe is all about the web frosting technique: you could do it on anything. Cookies, cakes, pizzas. It's so easy you don't have an excuse not to be awesome at your next Halloween party. Make 'em! Pumpkin carving made easy!Do you have feelings of pumpkin carving inadequacy? No more! Behold... The "Carve-O-Matic 3000"! >> The Weekly What? is more fun when you share! It's easy, just click the "Forward email" link below... keep going... a little farther down... there it is!
