Maybe it's All Just Carl Jung

when i was a kid, my dad would cut eye-holes out of basketballs and wear them as masks for halloween because we were too poor for anything else he was more creative than the average person.

and a few years down the line, costume companies started manufacturing their own basketball masks.

my mom would mold rice crispies into friendly bear-shaped desserts, complete with chocolate chip eyeballs and a few years later the cookie companies started doing the same.

those are just a few examples of the many times my family has come up with a brilliantly simple idea and had it swindled by a company without enough money to really finance the concept.

i've had my share of genius ideas stolen as well. some of you might remember my unorthodox delivery idea being pilfered.

and now THIS:

look, crabrevenge.com, i can sit here and claim i came up with the idea of using pubic lice against enemies first and you can relax knowing that we both knew the concept would really be owned by whomever got crabs first.

unfortunately, that was you. i never got crabs and so i could never start the company. you win: you're the rightful owner of the idea.

but while you reap the benefits, enjoy this short audio clip from spring of 2006.

it's not really a big deal. i've got lots of ideas. you can have that one.
