if I even begin to start thinking of the decisions and social connotations involved in how people interact with the BMW brand, I find myself becoming angry and depressed, desiring to go and live in a cave for the rest of my life.

You can be my creative director. I'll wheel you out, blind drunk, and barely coherent in front of top clients saying "This project is really important to us - I'm going to put my top guy on it. He's a fucking firework this guy. You just give him the concept and... BAM! He's like no-one else in the business. Ok. Steve... Steve... can you hear me? Mr Abbott here is looking to drive home the BMW identity. He wants it to be manly. Not like, boy band pretty, or hipster cool, but some thing that says 'I am man at his most man'. Something like that. What have you got for us?"
And you'd reach across the table, grab the wine, drink straight from the bottle. Wipe mouth with the sleeve of your badly stained Paul Smith suit and smack your lips.
I'd be nodding and raising my eyebrows at Tim Abbott like, "this is going to be it!"
And Benway says... "Ben... Benicio Del Toro punches Scarlett Johhanson in the face and drives off in a BMW. The strapline just reads: 'CAR'."

What I find more incredible is how unimpressed and disinterested the crowd look. Some of them aren't even looking. That's a lion! In a sidecar! on the wall of death!

i like the chick at the end with her head resting on her fist. 'lion.. in a sidecar... on the wall of death... on surface of planet whirling through space at 1036 miles per hour... oh, when will this banal indignity be over...'
i am STILL feeling wan, feak and weeble after my intestinal upheaval on thursday. is that normal? i honestly dont think i have vomited more than three times in my adult life (if of course you ignore the many, many, many, many occasions on which i drank too much boozy pop and a little bit came back up again to say hello) so i dont really know how these viral things work. i feel like a terrible milksop and have no appetite and cant even get excited by the thought of a pieminister pie.

i dont have aids, thankyou, doctor belushi. i know this because i had a series of aids tests in 2005, shortly before richard pryor died. i think i might have had about seven, all of which came back proudly negative. i want a second opinion. what is your second opinion?

It sounds like you just got tested for normal AIDS dd but that wouldn't pick up on seasonal AIDS. Perhaps you picked up some Christmas AIDS?

I've spun the wheel of diagnosis, and it's come up with AIDS again, I'm afraid. What are the chances of that happening.
I had some AIDS tests once. When i had the clap. I had AIDS, but I managed to beat it by eating more fresh fruit, cutting down on caffeine, swapping the tube for walking where possible, and trying to relax more during general day to day activity, such as looking, holding, and listening.
I also went on the "terror chasm" ride at Alton Towers about 300 times in the space of month. Don't know why, just developed a weird mania. After that I got the all clear. One theory was that the intense G forces pushed all of the AIDS through my scalp, where it was releases in microscopic particles.

I have a lindt chocolate bunny in the vegetable crisper section of my fridge that is still wrapped in lovely gold paper with a ribbon and bell around its neck. It has the best before date stamped on its bottom of august 2008.

Get a BMW, then. Apparently that will announce to everyone that you've 'won at life' in some completely incoherent and meaningless way.

I'm still reeling from the BMW marketing student. I mean, if you were to say something like that, you've mistaken yourself who can analyse marketing and actually just become the exact target audience you think you're looking down on. It would be like CiH having a really tense poorly conducted argument with a member of staff about how terrible their call quality is over the phone. In their world it consists of being asked to go fishing by their neighbour, but they decline or recoil in horror when they start to wheel their ford out of the garage with a couple of kayaks on the back as duelling banjos plays. They look over to neighbour number 2 with his soft-top down, with some massive titted playgirls in the backseat and he nods on in approval, because they both know that's where the ultimate lifestyle shit is at.

I have a colleague who's dating a BMW employee. This apparently means he gets to lease a brand new BMW every six months for a very low price. This is supposed to 'stimulate the used market'. I'm pretty sure he thinks he's won at life. Whenever he gets a new one, he offers me a lift home to save me the indignity of public transport, and to 'show me what it can do'.

Ride a BMX into work and offer him a backie every single day even though he declines. Keep asking. Do this for years until eventually he caves in and agrees. Then do a quick endo and cycle off really fast.

My bosses own two BMWs. And at one point my mum and dad had one each. This is pretty much means I would rather be dead than own one myself. I would rather transport myself across Oxford by climbing into a series of catapaults and being flung 300 yards at a time, than own a BMW.
