Oh no

In the office at work today talking to my good friend friend from Elizabeth who's sister sister dated Swannie because lizbef and we're chatting away about good music, Nek minnit one of the other ladies in the office brings up Jethro Tull and before I know it they're exposing me to beardy men and lengthy flute solos and trying to convince me about the Locomotion being a classic or something.

Too far.

Ports with 6 of the Top 20.

Cool.

Ok maybe not cool, but it’s, er, something!


The fact I really only post on this board now emphasises what a false economy this is. If StuMan ever stops reading Big Footy my future like count is up shit creek.
 
90k+ likes for people. And my modest goal is to get from 17k to 20k by the end of the year :oops:
I just liked this one to get your campaign* kickstarted.

Let's get Andre to 20,000 likes. Come on people.

*inb4 some reference to campaigners, yawn.

I think StuMan is singlehandedly responsible for our board having 6 of the top 20 or whatever it is.

I wonder if our club's presence up the top of that ladder is because we attract good posters or because we attract circle-jerkers with low standards who'll like any old crap.

EDIT: I've just seen that Doctor Feel is #1 for likes, circle-jerkers with low standards confirmed

I'm almost convinced StuMan is a Big Footy Like-Bot.
 
For ****'s bloody sake people, my parents were dirt poor with five kids and they used these, which still exist:

...now what precisely is the advantage that Chrisco has over them?

(Sorry, I am barely a quarter of the way through the Chrisco thread and already traumatised)

Marketing. The answer to this question is always marketing.
 
Marketing. The answer to this question is always marketing.

Before today I honestly just assumed that Chrisco just made their money out of bulk buying power, the operational efficiencies that arise from knowing how much you have to buy and deliver a long way in advance, and dining out on interest since you only have one major op-ex splurge per year.

I had no idea they had a shameless exorbitant markup as well. I can see that flying in the 90s when the target market couldn't easily price compare on the internet... but... just wow.

I mean they sell $100 JB Hifi vouchers for $110. That's perpetual motion in the form of a business.

Gift cards are the most baffling Chrisco product. I mean, I'd obviously never do it myself but I can at least kind of understand paying the massive mark-up if you're a) financially illiterate and b) lazy enough to pay a big premium to get a food hamper delivered to your door so you don't have to go shopping. At least you're getting an actual product at the end of the day. But gift cards? Who the **** uses an instalment plan to buy a gift card?

Imagine going into a bank and asking for a high interest loan. Except you only receive the principal after you've fully paid off both the principal and the interest. And then you can only spend the principal at one store. Congratulations, you've just purchased a Chrisco giftcard.
