Another Conversation With My Filthy Rich Republican Uncle
Me: Yes, I do. I plan to make a shitload of beautiful truffles and sell them for money.
Him: What's your marketing plan like?
Me: Same as a dope dealer's.
Him: What?
Me: I give somebody a truffle. Watch them eat it. Then tell them that it's only the first one that's free.

Wicked boy. You truffle dealers are all the same. . .

Perfect! When you get them all made I'll call the cops, turn you in, and raid all the yummies for myself.
I hereby request that you stop TALKING about truffles until you have some that we can order, dammit. Or is it part of your business plan to get us worked up a month beforehand? (Ok, I guess that works...)
just wait until the pictographic step by step posts start coming. the folks who have orders will be able to watch them being made . . .all the way to the shipping dock.
Truffflllllleeeesss......
(and your marketing plan is sound, sir. There used to be a little belgian chocolate place in NYC that I would frequent - the eldery gentleman that ran it would give me a free truffle every time I went in (for his "Lovely New Jersey Lady"), ensuring that I always walked out with a box of chocolates.
(@#$&(* NYC real estate market eventually drove him out :( )
the last time the shop was open the very first thing that happened when somebody walked in was that i had a cleaver and a cutting board with truffles that while they tasted great had missed the visual cut. the bell on the door would ring, and the cleaver would go whack! and there would be a taste of truffle right there. then people would be transported. if it was a pretty woman i would grin and say "tell me i'm a genius and you love me." they would shiver with delight from the truffle and blurt "you're a genius and i love you."
it's a great business.
I believe that's called coercion, of the first degree. And on my online Free Dictionary, the first listing in the thesaurus under "coercion" is "terror".
Best you watch yer back, truffle man :)
I haven't yet had the pleasure of samping these myself, but I sent some to my brother's family last Christmas. The thanks from the niece and nephews was thunderous! :)

Perfect, please let all know when this happens and will you ship?

Consider this an order for the rose-flavored white chocolate ones and a dork-chocolate flavor to be named later.
I'll even pay for the first one. :D
PS, If you'll take it from a fat chick, you're a genius and I love you. XOX
at my age i take all compliments where ever i can get them.
You're a genius and I love you.
Mom is rather fond of you also.
Love it! :lol:
