| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00  | At a job fair in Westchester this morning, I ran into Corpse and ran an idea by him. With all the oa.commers looking for work, why don't we start our own thing while looking? I know there are a lot of talented people on this board and I think we could create something cool. If you're interested, e-mail me or post here. This is a serious thread. Please do not defile. -----  E-mail: JustJon@opieanthony.com Adoptee: Delta Sigma Phuk Ups You listen to me! While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is I am a nay-sayer and a hatchet man in the fight against violence! I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King! My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method...is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | How about opening the O&A.com Cyber Cafe? Maynerd can oversee the computers, I think there's one or two out of work waitresses around here somewhere,... And you can put in a secret back room for Board parties!! Good Luck. :)  'Anyone who is capable of being elected president should on no account be allowed to do the job' - The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy Arthur smiled at him wanly and shrugged again.

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | Oddly enough I am semi-unemployed myself. I already own the corporation (Over The Limit, Inc.) I just haven't done anything with it due to the current state of the economy ~Matt/Froy from Jersey Official Protector of Gay Marco & SwampJunk...if he ever decides to post. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Great Idea jon, i was thinking about this last night while i couldnt go to sleep. But i wouldn't post cause i didnt think people would go for it. But since we're on the same track here i would be glad to offer my services. I can touch children, make sick a disturbing posts, i can come up with really sick stories. besides that i do have a degree in business and i am currently doing the web development thing i told you about but i am pretty much at entry level at this point. But as far as business wise i do know a lot about the internal workings of business. Plus i can be the doggy you sic on people when you don't have the balls to fire them. But seriously this could be a good great idea. If a few people get interested in this we could organize a meeting of some sort and get ideas rolling. These things are always better when done in person. But we can get the ball rolling in here and jon probably has some ideas already if i know him well enough.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | to add....(to my post count..j/k) but if we really get serious about this we could take this far. We could do something internet based but we could also do something business wise. This can go as far as we want to take it. Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00 | Honestly, I have thought about a few things, but it was a question of resources (i.e. who'd want to get in), so nothing is really set in my mind. I'm glad people are seriously interested, though. ----- E-mail: JustJon@opieanthony.com Adoptee: Delta Sigma Phuk Ups You listen to me!

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | This is sounding like people are into it, but there's only one problem. We are all slackers. Who the hell would do all the work? If we're sitting around posting all day long, then no work would get done thus then we wouldn't make any money. So hire people you might say? Well, then does that mean that everyone from the msg board would be a boss? That's way too many bosses. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00 | I can do stuff... Um, like for instance, I make a mean cup of coffee. Count me in! I don't want GonzoStyle having all the fun.  Chef Corpse Boyardee is bringing the food, don't worry! < | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: May. 00 | so what you want to do is start a company full of people who instead of doing work all day, will be surfing this board and posting. not trying to defile the thread, just bringing up an interesting point (ah fuck, gilligan beat me to this thought already. why the hell is everyone thinking like me lately. am i rubbing off on you people????)

Nay. We are but men. ROCK. The man with the plan. | posted on 04-03-2001 @ 3:03 PM | | |||
| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I'd offer up my business, but it's a sole proprietorship... not to mention, now that I'm not contracting anymore, it's being dissolved. Froy's got the corporation, so that would be the place to begin. You'd be surprised how far a consulting business can go. With the right people WHO KNOW THEIR SHIT, you start to build a name for yourself. Best part is, we start off as the workers, but as the business grows, we'd become the executives. Ground-up, development would be slow, but it's doable. As I said, gotta have the right people who know their shit. And if you don't know your shit as well as you think you do, you get trained. The people who DO know their shit can help out. Wow. This could work. I'd be glad to offer services... PC software and hardware, and servers are my thing.... every Microsoft OS except for the 2K Server family - I really need a chance to play with those.  Me droogies: Two positions currently available. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | I don't know about anyone else, but the main reason I slack is because my job/my boss does not motivate me and it's not exactly what I wanted to do for my career... if I was doing something that could directly benefit myself and something that I love, I would definitely work my hardest < This message was edited by spitfire421 on 4-3-01 @ 3:12 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I slack because I fixed all the major ongoing issues here within my first two months. Now all I deal with is a bunch of little issues as they pop up... Not to mention... with all the people interested, who will be left on the board? Me droogies: Two positions currently available. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | The place to start is organize a meeting, I have the corporation set up, the tax ID, the stock certificates, officers named, registered with the IRS, etc. We had initially intended to do a portal much like IGN or UGO, but we're willing to put it to any good use. ~Matt/Froy from Jersey Official Protector of Gay Marco & SwampJunk...if he ever decides to post. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00 | OK. No joke. I'd be interested in hearing what you monkeys plan, even if it is just to kick some ideas around for a while. Just don't hold the meeting at WWF-NY. Chef Corpse Boyardee is bringing the food, don't worry! < | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Wow, after reading this thread, I'm actually happy to be unemployed right now. I actually have a lot of skills besides public drunkenness. Count me in to whatever you want.  Who Wants a BEER? CantHandleMyBooty and TankGrrl24 are my Newbies!! | ||||
| TheGooch Mullet Master Yo Gooch, Moron here... how's that for some fucked up shit... Fez is giving you status... Karma sucks, huh? | posted on 04-03-2001 @ 3:24 PM | | |||
| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I'm interested too. Though I do have a full-time job, now that they cut my overtime, I'm available to work on freelance stuff (Graphic Design, Art Direction, Web Interface Design, Website "look and feel", Start-up Magazine and print work, writing, etc.) Plus, on another side note: there has to be a few headhunters that are fans of the show.

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: I agree Spit, if there is something that holds my interest then I put my effort into it wholeheartedly also. Like Dana I also have little to no computer experience but I am willing to learn anything. In fact I have been pondering the idea of going back to school to learn web design. I'm unemployed at the moment and I'm on disability for another 4 weeks. Once I go back to work, it will only be on a part-time basis. I would love to get into something totally out of my field. Let me know if I can be of any help. =) Care to stick your hot dog in between my buns? | ||||
