I got yer LOST bar right here, bitch!
What a strange, crazy, weird-arse day this has been. And it all revolves around free chocolate.
Yeah, me + free chocolate = super happy day, usually...
No doubt the majority of you know about that series, LOST, yeah? Well they have some kinda promotion going where Channel 7 and someone named the LOST Ninja (?) are giving away free promotional chocolates... through comic shops across Australia. The promotion is taking place across the globe, I might add, in many other selected comic shops.
When did I find out about this? When some odd customer came down stairs and asked me for free chocolate, following up with "What did one snowman say to the other snowman?"
My boss thought this was great, watching me squirm while I tried dealing with the odd question and demand. SHE knew what was happening. Apparently the deal is this; you ask the above-mentioned question to the man behind the counter of your chosen comic shop, he answers "Smells like carrot" and hands over a free, yucky, chocolate APOLLO bar.
But wait, there's more!
You THEN take a picture of yourself with your free, yucky, chocolate bar and post it on www.whereisalvar.com. Why? I've yet to figure that out, but I'm gonna try this. Perhaps I'll win something... hopefully not more of this chocolate. It ain't exactly fantastic. :P
Even so, BIG mistake handing over boxes of chocolates to a bunch of power-trippers and chocoholics. XD
The second crazy thing I found out today; I'm apparently going to be speaking to a group of English teachers about comics and graphic novels in two weeks time. I have no idea where it's at, what I'll be talking about, how many teachers I'll be speaking in front of (hopefully not a goddamn auditorium), and whether or not I should wear pants.
They'd better have tea & coffee making facilities, WITH BISCUITS!
