Eye Popping Marketing Insights from Scrambled Toast
My original blog, Scrambled Toast, started out as a blog to showcase business cartoons, gradually morphed into a business humor blog, and is now sort of melting away into nothing. All along, this blogging experiment was part of my lifelong ambition to become a pseudointellectual, though try as I might, a few words of actual wisdom occasionally crept in.
Here’s a serving of Scrambled Toast posts with (possible) marketing value and a side of humor. Hope you like them.

I’m sorry I came along too late to help, Brad. I kinda liked Scrambled Toast. But then again, I’m, you know, whacked.
Is there any way to revive it? I’d be happy to contribute a tidbit or two now and then.

Hi Robert, Super! I will set you up as a contributor and you can post any time you want. Maybe if a few folks chip in, we can bring it back to life. I just haven’t had time to focus on it.

Brad, I think I first ‘met’ you from scrambled toast - I was quite intimated by someone who appeared so witty, a skill that’s well beyond me. Not that you’re not witty… oh, you know what I mean.
I don’t think I can stretch to humour… but I can think of a few of your readers who might be able to help out. Hope you get a good response.

Sounds like fun. And hey, maybe it’s time to get serious about this site.

Robert, Never saw this blog! Great title. Joanna & Robert, one of the reasons I’m interested in reviving ST is it still generates traffic. Also, I really do believe in times like we’re heading into, humor is important. There’s no comic relief whatsoever in the news. Joanna, yes, we do go back to the ST days, but I can’t believe you were intimidated, but believe it or not, I was a little intimidated by you! Here was a real, honest to goodness writer who knew what she was doing and wanted to talk (gulp). It’s funny how things work out. We all have our roles to play … Thanks for helping out any way you can!

Brad, that is funny - we were both intimidated by each other! Mind you, I’d say quite a few of my very good friends are people I was a bit in awe of at first, till I got to know them.
If I put my hat on (literally as well as metaphorically!) maybe I’ll think of a way to chip in.
Joanna Youngs last blog post..What I Learned From Writing Under Stress
Funny to hear y’all talk. I felt the same about both of you! I mean, what did I know about marketing and sales? Or writing, for that matter. I mean, I’d just started blogging and didn’t even know who I was going to be at that time.
Glad to know you both so much better now, though. And I say, “Three Musketeers to the rescue!” (Sound of crowd cheering enthusiastically)
Robert Hruzeks last blog post..Then and Now
Robert, Joanna, LOL. The less you know, the better it is for Scrambled Toast. That’s my motto. It would be great fun to team up no matter how often.

Brad, I love humor but unfortunately I’m not witty, but I can find witty people who would love to contribute. I always admire those who are able to communicate wit in writing. You and Robert are quite good at it. Taylor Lindstrom is also excellent at comedic writing that delivers value. Don’t let it go, you’re right we need laughs!

Hi Karen, if you find any bloggers who are ready willing and able, I’d love to talk to them. Thank you for your support!!

Brad,
I love humor too, but my language capacities would only allow me reading your blog, not actively contributing. If that’s alright with you, I gladly become a member of the reading team…

Ulla, your readership is always welcome. Your interest is further motivation to get the other blog going again.

Hi Brad - is it really true that 6% of men still chew tobacco?
What weird foods we used to eat and you’ve got some awful wine listed there too. Concorde was the first wine I have drank - peach flavour. It was probably the cheapest too.
I’ll see if I can come up with anything wacky to write about. By the way, I linked to you today and I’m just realising I spelt Shorr wrong. Sorry, I’m off to change it now.

Hi Cath, That 6% stat was real. You know, a lot of American baseball players still chew tobacco. That’s why you never walk barefoot in a baseball dugout.
Thanks for your interest in ST - I’d love to see what you come up with. And don’t worry about the name, I appreciate the reference regardless.
