The Theory of Everything


I don't know why I am posting this because the world is going to come to an end tomorrow when they flip the switch on the LHC. On the off chance that we don't 'shuffle off this mortal coil', I figured I would post some random thoughts.

1. My daughter's Crayola Pip Squeak 8 pack of washable markers, had about four markers that did not work. My wife called Crayola to inform them of this and they immediately offered to send out their 16 pack at no charge. That is customer service.

2. NPR had this piece today about management development. Makes me wonder if Waldrop could even pick a horse out of a line-up?

3. Decisions are made by those that show up. Run your horse; run it often. Earn the honors.

4. Why don't the wunderkind gang, take a step back and put some of that money they are throwing around, towards the purses they are constantly bemoaning? Maybe towards research or drug testing?

5. Another case of spitting into the wind.

6. How does Jeff Mullins still have a license?

The Self Appointed Fan Committee is still taking suggestions for the upcoming marketing summit in Vegas. See point 3 above.

I have long shared your inability to comprehend the whole Jeff Mullins/license situation. He doesn't even try to hide things!

I can think of a mid-Atlantic trainer with the same reputation as well...

How about this for a ntra marketing idea: emblazon the mugs of Mullins, Biancone, Dutrow, Asmussen, et al on t-shirts, posters, buttons, stickers, and coffee cups with a snappy slogan like "dirty trainer trifecta", "thugs and drugs are bugs", "just say no, or not", "win with a syringe and you're in", or "cheaters love to prosper". Heck, you could even have division rivalries and present a special eclipse award for owners who employ the dirtiest of the dirty.
