All The Good Topics Were Taken Started by: Zig-Zag on Jan 30, '08 23:35
Zig-Zag stands before you in all his brazened glory. Or not. He may be standing in penny loafers and a shabby suit. But, that's for you to decide. Brazened glory, or penny loafers. Either way, it doesn't matter. Why do I talk all the time? Why is the sky blue? How many gumdrops would it take to get to china....


erhrrm... Do you mind?

Oh, sorry, go ahead.


Thank you. Now, yes, all the good topics were taken. Which, it seems, is a topic upon itself, that which has also been taken, and retaken, and done again, many times over. Therefore I decided to do something completely different. Bare with me. It may be worth it.


I'm going to....


Not ... Talk ...

Zig-Zag smiles as the crowd gasps in surprise.


Exactly. What I'm going to do is say one word, and with that word you can discuss it in any way shape or form that you see fit. It will be a word that should strike fear into your soul, warmth into your hearts, and deep thought into your brains.


What is that word you ask?


Business.

Fisk raises an eyebrow


"You're gonna do your business right here in the streets? Well, use this"

He hands him a small plastic bag

Laughing as he receives the bag, Zig-Zag says:


And our first response: Comedy, thus is one type of reply that makes most smile, and others attack with claws at full tilt. Thank you Fisk, I shall use this bag later on when I'm shopping.

Zig-Zag waits for more responses.

"'Business' he says. Well what business would that be my friend? I am personally involved in several endeavors of my own. All legitimate of course.

Spike makes a few quick glances over his shoulders then winks at the Zig-Zagish one.


Perhaps you're in the business of getting people to talk? Well talk is cheep, but getting folks to talk... there could be profit in that. I'm game, consider me an investor friend. I'll have my accountant forward you some fund immediately.


I trust you wont disappoint.

SuperSao walks down the street and notices his dear friend's attempt to create activity.


You are a genius my friend. You said one word and it stirred some commotion in these here streets. Genius I say...Granted you are insane but a genius none the less.

Rushes Zig-Zag and takes the plastic bag.


I can use this sooner than you can.

SuperSao rushes in the nearest gas station to pick up some groceries.


Business.



Sorry thought I'd at least try and stay on the topic.

Zig-Zag takes the money, and smiles to Spike.


It's my honor to take this wad of change, err "money", and get people to talk. Seems with one word you can get a conversation started. One word.


Isn't it funny, SuperSao, that with one word I've done this much? Imagine what would have happened had that word been a phrase? Or, *le gasp* an entire speech based upon businesses. It seems like there could be something to this.


I don't know about you, but I'm tempted to start speaking in the streets more often to test the waters here--what if one really did write speeches about something new?
