Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

I got an odd Website request today. This is true and unedited.

My name is Nicki Clark, I am a home school liasion worker at Mulgrave Primary school in woolwich SE18. I am also secretary the PTA.
We are at the moment talking to the children in years 5 and 6 about Hygenie, body odour and how to look after our own body.

We were wondering if you could help us with this by donating samples of your deoderant to give to the children, both boys and girls.
We would then try to promote your product and ecourage the children to purchase their own deoderant.

I hope you don’t mind me writing to you in this way.
Thank you very much for your time.
Regards, Nicki Clark
Mulgrave Primary School & EYC, Woolwich, London, SE18 5DL

So, um, well… No.  NO, I’m not going to send my “Musk” deoderant across the Atlantic to teach English children how not to smell.  They’ll have to learn it the way my friend Tim did, by wondering why no one want to change next to him in the locker room.

Overheard

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?

“ . . . the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”
