Portmanteau

So there I am, asleep, and yet another great idea pops into my head -- better than "Rosencrantz' Underpants" but maybe not as good as The Original PaceWheel (which was recently endorsed by the Chair of USATF Coaching Education).

No, no...my dreaming self came up with a clever new Portmanteau. A portmanteau is a combination of two existing words (or word parts) that makes a new meaning. For example: guesstimate combines guess and estimate and gives a new word loaded with more meaning than the other two.

Now, before I head to my psychotherapist to figure out what I could have been dreaming about to bring about this new word, let me get it out on paper...er...whatever.

My new portmanteau combines the words caboose and bustier. One is your rear, and the other lifts and separates. What better way to accentuate the junk in your trunk than the combination you'll get out of a pair of low-rise jeans and the caboose-tier (or is it ca-bustier...or caboostier)?

Top this slogan:
"The wonderbra for wonderbread."

Triple Digits

Success! Today, a handsome and intelligent man in the great state of Ohio purchased PaceWheels number 99 and 100.

There hasn't been a holiday shopping frenzy like this for an item since Tickle Me Elmo (round 2). Okay, so maybe it's nowhere near a shopping frenzy...or feeding frenzy...or even napping frenzy, but I feel pretty confident that my goal of being a Thousandaire could be realized...after I pay back my investor, pay the "man" (actually, it's the "men") state, county, and "Rural Transportation Authority" sales taxes (at least there's no redundant, ridiculous and redundant stadium tax on an unnecessary stadium), another "man" self-employment tax and income tax.
