We’ve already approached the Roach Brooch topic, and I explained how I was going to work with the designer who actually makes them as an affiliate marketer, due to all the traffic I get for related terms. Last week I set up tracking, and actually sold a live cockroach brooch!
I also ran a few test orders to make sure the tracking pixels were working properly, as you do – and they went through. I emailed my contact there and told him to be sure to cancel them. So that’s the last I really thought of it. Until I walked into the kitchen this morning and noticed a package for me from Utah. It can only mean one thing – I now own a live $80 hissing cockroach brooch.
I haven’t opened the package yet. I don’t know what the hell I’m supposed to do with him. I have already named him “Hissy” (He is a Madagascar hissing cockroach), and I am thinking of sending an intern out to get a terrarium so he can become the office pet. He is encrusted with jewels afterall. They also include a clip that allows you to wear him on your shirt while he squirms around and stuff.
So what do I do with Hissy? Send him back (he will probably die if I do that). Put him on Craig’s list and look for some tartantula obsessed Dungeons and Dragons geek to give him a new home? Start wearing him to Tiernans? Your suggestions are appreciated. Hissy needs a piece of banana and a moist cottonball STAT.
Hissy’s future options:
1. Attach him to Boss (assuming he won’t hurt him of course) and watch the fun that will be sure to come of the experiment, make sure to take video of that & post it on the site…
2. Wear him yourself, especially to the bars, to attract the ladies
3. Bring him to Faneuil Hall & start a little show with Hissy as the headliner on the weekends – maybe you can make a few bucks on him
please post pics of him online!
Put him on a leash and take him for walks around the neighborhood!
Can you find a local elementary school or something? My son’s school has terrariums and stuff all through the building, and the kids are in charge of feeding and taking care of the critters.
If you want, I can send your post to our ass’t principal to see if he wants another friend in the building.
or, you can work on a vaudevillian style street show with Hissy and go for the tourist money making factor this summer.
i’m with allie on option 3.
Club him to death and sell his pelt to the McCartney’s.
You’re kidding right?
Get a can of Raid.
If you ever do take him out of the box, you can read him this story about how his ancestors terrorized the town of Natick, with a little help from the US Army.
I am afraid to go home because there is a roach in my kitchen. Granted, it’s in a box and probably dead. Look for a full Hissy update tomorrow.
If he’s still alive when you take him out of the box … Griffin is dying for a pet. She was hoping for a goldfish, but she might go for the sparkly roach, especially if it comes from you, David, since you are her first man-crush (other than David Beckham, of course).
I feel it is my moral obligation to notify PETA regarding this horrible tragedy…
Nice site!
