- E-shoppers: Time to get real
Albert: This is my kind of guy! I love this editorial.
- Bidding starts at $1
Since other sites are joining in the frenzy – we thought we’d add our 2 cents worth.Albert: Like you didn’t expect this !
Since other sites have auctions and since there is talk of reverse auctions like Respond.com receiving $54 million in VC money – we thought we’d throw out our own great idea.
Our new website will allow you to bid on your own personal information. You will have the opportunity to buy your information rather than having it sold to other sites. That’s right. We’ll put up your name on the web and you will have the opportunity to bid for it – right along with everyone else.
Can you picture it now ?! Seeing your name highlighted. People will come up to you on the street and say, "Weren’t you the fellow who was ‘Man of the Week’ on the GetYourInfoBack.com last week?" And you can proudly say, "That’s private information pal."
Gee, it could be kind of fun.
- Yes, Albert and Gracie answer email
Some of you have recently discovered that Albert and Gracie are answering email.Albert: Selectively. Can’t stand junk mail. Those senders of junk mail should all be shot.
Gracie: Albert ! My word. Gracious sakes. Be kind.
Albert: Thought I was.
AJ: Hey ! You forgot me. I write too. And I’m the funny one. So email me a joke and see if you can make me laugh.Webmaster: And there you have it. Yes. The dogs answer email. Pictures of your dogs are appreciated too.
Woof.

- It wasn’t me
Gracie: Albert ! What did you do to those poor cows?
AJ: (laughing): They look funny !
Albert: It wasn’t me.
Gracie: Albert.
Albert: OK. But I only used a little spray paint so that others could tell they were the "bad" cows.
AJ: The yellow warning sign you painted looks nice but you used too many words.
Albert: I just used, "Stop. Don’t buy. Go away. I’m a bad cow. Leave me alone. Quit looking at me. …"
Gracie: (sighing) Albert. Those poor cows have been banished.
Albert: Good then it worked. Now I’m trying to figure out how to tip the other cows. Maybe I’ll spray paint them all white …Webmaster: It looks like Dell is giving up on the colorized WebPC. Yes, the "sleek" PC bovine has officially been banished from the rest of the herd (a congregation of gregarious wild animals like Albert, Gracie, and AJ.).
