thing - THE MEEK WITH TEETH SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH
Marius, I know you won’t mind if I use your e-mail to
me to respond to a couple of “anonymous” individuals who are not
exactly sure why I include them in my “preachy” emails remembering
of course that my primary focus right now is to fine-tune the message before
communicating one-on-one with people like Dan Rather of CBS who I consider as
close as it gets to being brain dead, i.e. after years of inhaling your own
bullshit, believing that none of it stinks, the damage done to the brain is in
my opinion irreversible.
The anonymous e-mailer in the “Some people do manage to read SUM of it!”
[sic] got a number of things wrong. Although Mr. Ashworth Esq. can when called
to task be as good a dresser as Mr. George “Hearst” [sic] he is not
at this time part of the stellar management team I am assembling to revolutionize
not only fund raising for schools but it will in my opinion bring about a
paradigm shift in more than the entire clothing industry.
This e-mailer may have thought just like Dr. John Pollard
that “stained” t-shirts were “sheer madness” and of
course the t-shirt I will be wearing in court in just a few moments is our
first sample hot off the assembly line.
Despite owning perhaps more than my share of trademarks,
much the same way that some folks may feel that I have overdone it with my
“steamy” art collection, I have not as yet filed for a trademark of
either “sheer madness” or for that matter
The Meek
With Teeth
Inherit
Shall
The Earth
4 1 simple reason that I have yet to decide exactly how this
will all “lay out” in
the scheme of things.
I do, however, challenge anyone who may think of playing it
“fast and loose”
with the many ideas I am putting forth in my emails to think at least twice
before deciding to do the smart as well as the right thing and set aside a
“fair sum” for me and my growing
legions of supporters who think that backing my “crusade”
makes a “hole lot”
[sic] of sense.
Of course I understand the importance of the mighty dollar
despite it’s inevitable downward spiral unless our very smart President
George W. Bush does the responsible thing and places a lid on those “smart alec”
folk sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “market
value” of public companies to slip below their intrinsic net worth.
When need be, I can be articulate in communicating but the
“anonymous” out there have to realize that although I believe we
are all born within 15 standard deviation points of intelligence that number
moves exponentially in both directions for each and every train smash that the
average toddler is subjected to.
I think it is conceivable that tall kids have a distinct
disadvantage to those of us who remained midgets long enough to avoid the
airborne feces coming out of over-controlling parents who couldn’t
control both their bowel as well as vowel movements and why I am
advocating that we measure our words ever so carefully, weary of those who
plant seeds of discontent amongst the masses, mostly the well-educated liberal
elite who at the first opportunity to own ocean front property go down the
squirrelly path that has us all earmarked for Armageddon.
I am though on the side of the sun as folks like Mr. Krinsk
know all too well although some who have known me longer than 4 odd years are
undoubtedly fearful of what I might do next.
A short while earlier I was sitting in the icecream shop of
one my business-colleagues who happens to produce the best gelato ice-creams in
the world and it won’t be long before you see our art-t-shirts displayed
at Gelato Vero that is located at 3753 India Street within an earshot of the
San Diego Airport which I might head to right after our court proceedings
today, assuming of course I don’t get handcuffed, placed behind bars and
Dr. Stewart being given the pleasure of throwing the key away.

Mr. Krinsk may not have fully realized that although he
turned to face the window the reflection of the lines on his forehead provided
all the input I needed; no different to what we now know of the techniques many
if not all of the great master artists used to get their proportions right.
What seemed to help me get a realistic assessment of the Big Boss’
communication although very one sided was my sense that Mr. Krinsk was looking
into Bill Lerach’s office over at Milberg Weiss for what the 1,000 lb
gorilla Bill was contemplating in terms of his next move?
“… Your story pretty much on point…
dwarf … nothing left… increasingly apparent… gremlins taking
care of right from under…. insurance … John Moores as a control
person... Significant…wether
or not it will have real legs… I
believe it has a negative net worth at this port…” [sic].

Derrick has heap loads of integrity to mention little once again of his

Africans I have come into contact with assume to be a genius, perhaps though
for no other reason than for the “fact” that before Jonathan Beare
became one of the most successful entrepreneurs on the planet he took at a stab
at being a physicist. I have yet to confirm any of this, however, with Jonathan
or
I recently met up with Jonathan at one of his ever expanding
family functions where it looked to me like the Rothschilds had assembled
enmasse paying their respects to the only South African don I know. Now to be
clear on this point, I have not, to the best of my knowledge, ever once come into
contact with the so-called Mafia and so I wouldn’t know a don from a
crook like
Before my time is up I plan to unwrap a series of not all
that inventive plays that have been going on for ions that while beefing up the
bank accounts of the already over bloated steal the inventive spirits of the
worker bees who are held back by organizations like IBM who employ banks of
patent lawyers to keep the best and brightest ideas on shelves while milking
the planet of its rich mineral resources that keep this marvelous perpetual
motion machine on track to meeting up at some point with our maker at which
point everything becomes purely mathematical.
Which reminds me of what occurred as I departed Mr.
Krinsk’s office yesterday. He gave me a poorly cut out article about a
N.Y. Judge questioning the “Tobacco Settlement fees” being paid to
attorneys. Contained in the article are references to lawyers charging
“over $13,000 per hour for every hour spent on the

Suffice to say I only once met Fred Deluca. Fred is the founder and 50% owner of
Doctors Associates who happen to own the Subway chain of sandwich stores,
another endless money making machine although I think the literature Fred puts
out says he started the juggernaught at age 17 and Fred too is good with
numbers and most would argue pretty good looking to boot. What I have always
wanted to know is who kick-started Subway when it was in big big trouble back
in the early 1980s. The United States Justice Department were once all ready,
lock stock and barrel, to delve into the why Subway was the “Biggest problem in franchising”
and then Bill Clinton got out his Hubble Telescope and the rest is history but
not quite.
Fred, though is one crazy guy and someone who probably knows
how to party almost as well as
Just like I now have Dr. Stewart in a pincer movement the
check mate move for Mr. Deluca came about when he sent me a series of e-mails
that demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was interfering in the
business of “Sonmed”
[sic]. I did, however, eventually let Mr. Deluca off the hook when I uncovered
that the President of the company who had got Fred to help fund her business at
a very critical juncture had in fact played it fast and loose with the man who
is known to play it very rough. Some might argue the fact that Fred who to the
best of my knowledge confines his “scrumming” to the courtrooms, is
no different than if he were to call out his henchmen and simply break legs.
Which leads to why we need to reexamine our entire system of
government and who is in fact making the laws that we are all supposed to abide
by, i.e. those who had the biggest guns have simply converted their ill-gotten
gains in to buying power and influence and then peddling their elevated
standing to the masses who are happy it seems to get their loaf of bread.
The pending economic doom, however, will take the beef out
of the muscle as those used to an unhealthy diet may find their food chain
drying up; a matter to be discussed at a later time as I head into the
courtroom having stretched the limits of my 3 hours in front of the computer
screen. So far this entire email hasn’t taken me 30 minutes to compile
and most of the time was futzing with the hyperlinks.

Hi Gary
I noticed the mention of some
t-shirt project while scanning through your e-mails. (Some people do manage to read some of it!)
This is of some interest to me, as I shall attempt to explain.
I have a little side project going
which will involve the selling of jewelry at mainly weekend craft
markets. My friend Anne, whom you met the other day, brought me a little
stash from
I'm also open to other items that
could provide for some color and a "crafty" feel to my
presentation. It does not need to be limited to jewelry, as
long as the overall presentation makes sense. Typically a street fair
space is 10x10 feet, since that is also the size for the popular fold-up
canopies. I can display my stuff in a pretty compact form, which allows
space for items like say specially crafty t-shirts. I thought that you
may be interested to discuss the possibilities. Since the demographics of
these markets differ quite a bit, it will be a good method for testing the
water. I don't have much product for the lowest end of the market though,
and plan to keep it that way.
T-shirts or no t-shirts, this email
also serves general notice of my interest in other products. Any
input will be welcomed. This is new territory for me, and may lead
to something worthwhile and fun.
It looks like my first market will
be this coming Sat and Sun.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Marius
