Elephantine Post-Its?

I once lived with a friend who had a Saint Bernard.

I am quite convinced that the liquidy matter that flowed like the Hudson
River from his jowls would also do just fine.

Getting a dog like this might be a way of keeping the posters up AND
finding a caring canine companion!

Hi Jeff.
I considered using the giant post-its, but was repelled by the cost.
Shortly afterward, I found an outstanding low-cost alternative:  snot.
With
proper attention to diet, it can hold even heavy posters for up to a week,
and it comes off even cheaply-painted walls with a cotton ball soaked in
Dristan.  Of course, it was hard at first to produce enough of it, and,
being temperamentally shy, I couldn't bring myself to ask the Open Space
participants to supply their own.  I had moderate success by drinking a
half-gallon carton of buttermilk the afternoon before the event and then
holding my face in the vaccuum outlet tube for the belt sander at the local
high school woodshop for a half an hour (with breaks for normal breathing).
But it wasn't until I faced the challenge of a 200-person Open Space that I
made a truly remarkable discovery:  Elephantine snot!  It is readily
available for free at most any zoo.  Just enter by night dressed in dark
clothes, with a large tub of peanut butter and a standard shop-vac wired to
a car battery.  Hope this helps.

-Chris



(ps...don't get me wrong, I have found this conversation most helpful!)
