Part Two...

March 3rd, 2008
This is the second half of a two-part article featuring a mock speech for the 25th anniversary of an event that has not yet been created.

What can be said? What hasn't been thought of? Dare I ask?

I love the 'out-of-the-box' attitude behind this sort of thing. There are so many pre-engineered products out there to be rethunk. Ok, so 'rethunk' isn't a word but surely there should be a campaign going on somewhere to add 'rethink' to the 'reduce, reuse, and recycle' mantra. Its integral that we rethink a whole lot of s ...
