Hey 'Spaw -- You had a great idea there 'If we can get Rick to act completely crazed, spout off random nonsense in copious quantities, not bathe on a regular basis, and scratch like a man with jock itch, chiggers, and head lice...'; however, I'm afraid it's been done -- I don't know whether it was the US or Canada, but some woman just came down out of this tree that she's been sitting for two years protesting some lumber company's policies.

But, on second thought, the tree-sitting thing could be worked out, if we could wire Rick to the 'Net, then he and Max and Bert could do 'live from Rick's Tree' broadcasts on Mudcat Radio! Yea, that's it! See, that would still tie in all the great marketing ideas we've come up so far -- and I'm sure that YOU can think of some wild-a**ed thing Rick could be protesting up there in the tree. And himself really shouldn't mind staying up there a year or two -- Think of the song possibilities!!!

Wadya think??
