Although I might make it cheesy anyway, just to keep 'em guessing ;-) I mean, can you imagine anything worse than if I got into the whole sincerity thing? "Hugh MacLeod, the Michael Stipe of Corporate life." Yeegads. Sure, Foo. Demotivators was talked about in the last post on this subject. Though not for long.
