The Despair Inc. Blog

 

Yes- by popular demand- we’re expanding our line-up of 4-color Demotivator Mugs yet again- to add our wildly popular Achievement design to the family.

All you need to do to score your free version of this mug is to visit this link, add the mug to your cart, and then add at least $20 worth of Despair goodies to your order. (Actually, it’s $19.95. But I rasterized and uploaded that graphic above before I started writing this- and I’m so fantastically lazy that I don’t want to spend the extra two minutes re-rasterizing one that size $19.95. I mention this not to call attention to my indolence- which I’m sure longtime readers of The Wailing List now take as a given- but rather to make the quick point that you could get a free mug simply by ordering One Standard or Posterbook edition of our Build-Your-Own-Calendars.

“But it’s nearly March already- I don’t want a calendar that’s already 17% out of date!”

Nor should you! But remember, with our Print-on-Demand calendars, YOU choose the first month of the calendar. So any month is a good month to buy one! And if you’ve already got one, why not pick one up for a depressed family member, or an demoralized co-worker? You don’t have to tell them you scored a free mug in the process.

Speaking of my Twitter feed (he said, far too lazy to actually contrive a proper segue to his new subject), I feel sorry for the great many of you who are missing out on the joys of my daily ramblings. Not as sorry as I feel for this guy, but sorry still. You’re not only missing out on my ongoing my photojournalistic documentation of the apparently exploding growth industry of Persons-Wearing-Degrading-Costumes-While-Twirling-Signs-on-Roadsides, you’re also being deprived of my piercing insights into Blogger Superiority Complexes, or of seriously missed opportunities in the nicknaming of American heroes.

(Entries above edited for chronological flow and readability.)

Now that you’ve seen what you’re missing, can you really resist the temptation?

I thought not.
