Such a good distinction I had to say it twice!
In conversations with multiple big players in the prepper and emergency food niche, I can tell you that they are having a VERY hard time selling their stuff. Traffic has dropped off significantly over the past 4-5 months. Many companies are going back to the drawing board to see how they can more or less re-invent themselves. Prepper and survival expos are continuing to do fairly well, but people who wanted FD food already have it and aren’t buying so much of it anymore.
Hmmm. I should have thought the opposite; that there was enough private and commercial traffic to keep things afloat.
To see someone stoop to putting out rumors and capitalizing on fearmongering doesn’t bode well for them; not the best business integrity there.
“You’re on it. Didn’t you get the memo?”
You’re name keeps messing up my head - the memo said, “Null and Void” so I thought you kicked me off if I was on it but I didn’t know if I was on it but it appears I am on it since you, null and void, said I was on it.
Your a total nut. All these threads you pimp are nothing to worry about. I am going to have to report you to the mods if you keep it up.
(Do I get on the ping list now)¿
Yes, extra points for the creativity, minus a point for not setting the conditions, you got the threat part, but not the if I don't add you to the list part.
Still, clear enough intent, and nicely phrased.
RIMMER downs the whisky, gulping. The smile freezes on his face. He grabs the hat being used as the pot in a card game, and is sick into it.Music and talk stop. The owner of the hat stands and looms, making RIMMER look shorter than a Clint Eastwood speech. Chairs scrape back from tables.
BEAR STRANGLER MCGEE: A man beans up in the hat of Bear Strangler Mcgee, he's either mighty brave or mighty stupid. Which are you, boy?
RIMMER: Sorry, what were the choices again?LISTER hands some money to MCGEE.
LISTER: You'll have to forgive our friend, he's a souple of Gunmen short of a posse.
BEAR STRANGLER MCGEE: That pays for the hat. What about the insult?
RIMMER: OK. You're a fat bearded git with breath that could knock-out a grizzly.
LISTER: (Shoving the rest of his money into MCGEE's hands.) Take the lot, man. Rimmer, what is wrong with you?
