Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for May 08, 2021

And I’m thinking of kuhscheisse in suspenders!! That will be $10,000 please!!

/SNARK/

I’m thinking of $100. Are you thinking of $100? Yes? That’ll be $100, please.

American suspenders or British suspenders? It makes a difference.

Brilliant! Elon Musk will start a company to monetize that.

Mind if I pay you with digital currency?

Brewster: “Imagine that I’m paying you $100.”

I’m thinking of kicking Dr Mel into one of next weeks panels!

That will be 7000 QuatBitLooCoins!

I’m thinking of Monopoly money… are you thinking of Monopoly money? Here’s a $500.00 bill, keep the change.

NFT really stands for “No Functional Thing”

“I’m thinking of a hundred dollar bill. Are you thinking of a hundred dollar bill?”

“Yes!”

“Consider that your payment.”

In Brewster’s case it follows ‘A fool and his money are soon parted’

The next step by Apple?

If anyone demands payment for their idea it isn’t worth buying.

“It is the court’s judgment that the punishment shall fit the crime. I have decided that the price of the smell of food shall be the sound of money.”

— Judge Ooka (I.G. Edmonds, The Case of the Marble Monster and Other Stories, Scholastic Book Services, 1961)

Imagine I gave it to you.

He’ll have to charge you a storage fee for putting thoughts in his head.

And a lot of you people thought saving baseball cards and comic books were crazy.

Dr Mel has it backwards. People won’t pay for to think of an idea, they’ll pay to get that earworm out of their head.

The amount to be paid should be based on the value of the idea. Dr. Mel now owes me $100.

A study in suggestibility.
