FAMOUS IN CHINA! — by Steve Nadis
China, as everyone knows, is the world’s largest country in terms of population, and we should therefore pay attention to China, if for that reason alone. But China, it seems, is paying attention to Call Me Snake too. In my inbox yesterday, I received a cool dozen comments to this blog, about 10 of which hailed from “antique furniture chinese” — an exporter, retailer, and wholesaler of Chinese and Tibetan furniture and antiques. This company, a powerhouse in the area of MingQing style furniture, wisely concluded that the best way to reach a lot of people fast was to post multiple comments on Call Me Snake. With a shrewd business plan like that, how can this outfit go wrong?

How much for a pearl inlay chest? Also do you have tea tables available…they’ll need to match the drapes.
YES WE DO! As they said about Alice’s Restaurant, you can get everything you want at Call Me Snake. (Somehow that doesn’t have as catchy a ring to it.)
You inspired me. I posted my first blog last night. Now do I just sit back and wait for the Chinese to come calling?
They’ll call, if you wait. But I know so people there; maybe I can speed things up a bit.
Hey, I need a new couch. Can you hook me up?
Say not more. It’s done!
I think this works better as a jingle:
“You can get everything we make,
At decadent imperialist American dog blog
Call Me Snake!”
Pass it on to the Chinese and tell them I want 10% of the gross on everything they sell. (Unless, of course, everything they sell is gross. Then I’ll settle for a “I went to China and all I got was this lousy Call Me Snake t-shirt.”
Wow Gatemouth, you are talented! You not only do bumper stickers, you do T-shirts, as well. (And I love the “lousy Call Me Snake T-shirt” bit, by the way…)
“You can Get every Thing you want..
at Call-Me-Snake’s CHI-na… spot.”
Well, it needs work. (Hope I don’t
spill any of this coffee on the Stienway.
Back soon!)
Thanks Marco! It’s clear there’s a lot of talent out here. If we could pool it all, maybe we could do something useful. Nah, forget it. What was I thinking?
