Only In New York-Modern Day Robin hood

This is a must share video for a couple reasons.

First, in real life, versus my cyberspace reality here on Blogger, I am named after the forest of Robin hood fame. Seriously, even as an old stoner I can't make this stuff up...OK, unlike Bill Clinton, I did inhale. Secondly, my better half, the Goddess of Letters is actually a NATIVE New Yorker, raised on the Upper West Side. So, when I stumbled across this video on www.youtube.com of a guy from England running around New York dressed up like Robin hood, and giving away FREE MONEY, just had to share it.

It's one of those things that could only be done in New York...well, unless it was filmed in Los Angeles, or San Francisco, even Chicago, maybe Kansas City, perhaps Louisville, and having been born in St. Louis, have to give them a nod as well. OK, it could have been a stunt in any of those cities, but it wasn't! It happened here, almost in my own backyard...OK, not my backyard, but about 40 miles from my back yard, but that's close compared to say Festering Wound, Arkansas or Aching Corn, Iowa.

Internet Revenues POURING In











This just in from our Chief Accounting Officer...up for less than 12 hours, "Almost The News" is already IN THE BLACK! This astonishing reality, this leap into profitability should have people thinking GOOGLE, or at the very least You Tube on steroids. So, how did we do it, what was our magic formula? In a word...OK, in two words, Ad Sense! Their advertisers LOVE THIS SITE, the whole premise of it is REVOLUTIONARY in both vision and scope.


Let's look at the numbers. Cost of putting the blog on http://www.blogger.com/ ? Nothing, zip, nada, or as we say in the industry, a FREEBIE. Laptop...borrowed. Office Space...who are we kidding here, I'm working at the coffee table in my living room while watching CNN...shhh, don't let that get around. Salaries and other compensations...none, we all work for nothing because we love what we do. So, start up costs for this blogging dynamo...NOTHING! Are you beginning to see it would NOT TAKE MUCH for us to move into the black? So, how much have we made so far in this venture?

Total earnings $0.01


With this incredible, even meteoric rise into profitability, thinking we should open up another bottle of wine while we wait for the investors to beat a path to our door. Today, a penny, tomorrow two, and then three...the world is our oyster, the universe waiting for our rising star.
