Paradise, no, Saturday Lost.

This is not America, la la la la la la... Falcon and Snowman. Cold War. David Bowie. US presidential pre-election. My private Idaho. Dreaming in Colours. Bitter Moon. Global Warming. Slavic Europeans. Windaloo. But the tests yesterday with hygienic hand wash gels... have to dissapoint you, my Opossums, had no time to test the gel at the office. Please test it yourself and report back!

Visited my personal (antroposofic) doctor the other morning. All the RACI at the office had given me a rash which did not self-heal and needed some anti-fungal treatment. 2 weeks, 2 tablets a day and likely not having any red spots anymore. Mooses goes naked! Medication is not sensitive to sunlight or alcohol, so having my fungus tablets and rushing for a drink at closest solarium...

<--- A RACI-free Smurf Is there a cure for RACI?




Oh, almost forgot The Smurfs

Albert Heijn (local supermarket chain famous for bad book-keeping) has bought 30 million (thirty million) little plastic figurines picturing the famous Smurfs. Holland goes crazy! For every 15 Euro's you get a FREE Smurf!

Buy and get for free?
 

The more you buy at AH, the more Smurfs you get! Fair? People with kids get stressed. Schools ban Smurf-trading and mothers are forced to it at the office. Public demands more Smurfs! National Guard is called in to contain the Mass Demonstrations to get Gargamel's Cat figures un-wrapped for easier collecting! AH gets even more publicity because of it. For Free!

Why is this kind of advertising allowed in NL when it is banned in the Nordics? So much easier to go shopping with kids there. "Free" (gratis) actually means that you do not need to pay - or buy to get for "free". There's a trick in it ... got it?


Sweetie got the wrong Smurf --->


Holland is Smurfed, Big Time!

Whoever sold the Smurf idea to Albert Heijn deserves a medal! Mooses hails you and your team! Just by riding on an old, sweet Belgian cartoon character Les Schtroumpfs (from 1958), you made it! People have not changed: everybody likes cute characters behaving like humans but not being human. And just at this time, two generations who like Smurfs co-exist. Bloody Clever! Mooses collects Smurfs, too, and any kind is welcome! The more the merrier! Mooses gets them from friends who get them for free (and almost lost the latest delivery among the week-end trashes, but no, found them back!)

Mooses says: Give me your Smurf!
