Bet it all

I just made a huge monetary investment in this idea that I have. I realize that huge is relative, but based on my income level it could be all of the money that I'll ever have. I don't know if it's going to work out or not, but after a lot of contemplation I decided that even if I lose everything and nothing comes of it, it's still better than not having taken the chance and never known if my idea would have panned out.


My brother used to have this song of inconsequential title that started with a sound clip that said, "The funny thing about regret is, it's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done." Don't look up the context or it'll ruin the quote, but I still think it's true.

My legal representatives have suggested that I not disclose the details of the idea to any more people until the patent pending papers are completed. But for sure I'll tell details when I'm allowed to, because I'm pretty proud of it.

I know the whales probably won't steal my ideas, but if I tell you then I have to tell the whole World Wide Web, and there's no telling what kind of sketchy characters read this page.

As your legal counsel, I advise you to end this conversation right now.

as a sketchy character reading this blog, I would like to say that Bryant is right

Oh, and by the way, whales aren't make-believe, they're real people. I mean mammals.

I totally figured out your idea by what you said already.

You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em.

Oh my!! Lime's onto something. Imagine all the Natives in the Amazonian rainforest who have never had any contact with the white man/woman. We could sell them COY so they won't all die from our Great White Diseases.

either that, or you will kill them with our Great White Diseases
