Breakaway News Volume No. 10 Issue No. 12 December 2006

Huge Holiday Cheer

So you ordered the giant stuffed panda for the little one and the home gym for your significant other. Now all you need is some way of getting them to your doorstep. Well, as it so happens, we are more than ready to help out with all your Christmas deliveries, especially the giant ones! Our trucks, including our  14 ft. lift-gates, are ready when you are.

Warming Watch

Fact or fiction? With global warming continuing apace, one NYC billionaire is determined to do something about it. He’s bought an apartment for $24 million and is stocking it with two of every type of animal known to man. Hope it has high ceilings for the giraffe.

BioFaire

New York City was the host this November of the BioResearch Product Faire, and Breakaway played its part, shuttling the boxes of free giveaways, biotech company literature, and props to and from the shows in one of our lift-gate trucks. We’re proud to report that it went smoother than the skating rink up at the north pole (Santa, hint hint!). Trade show deliveries and logistics is one of our big strengths, so next time you and your company are doing the Javits, give us a call.

Tuttle, Not Buttle

Ever have this happen to you? You receive a bill for someone that sounds a lot like you, but who isn’t you, and, furthermore, doesn’t even exist. Sound crazy? Maybe, but it’s happened to us. We’re calling the NYS Department of Departmental Redundant Redundancies to straighten the mess out.

Bonus: Free coffee mug to the first person to get the title reference.

Online Ordering

Land’s End and other e-tailers aren’t the only place you can order online this holiday season. You can also order online with us! If you have a million and one things to do this holiday, and can’t get away from your computer at work for a moment, you can always order your Breakaway messenger via the Net. More than that, you can track his progress online as well. And you thought the Internet was a time waster.

Stump the Band…

Last month, we asked you to tell us what CBGB/OMFUG stood for. A lot of people answered this one, with the winning answer coming just one day after we sent out the newsletter. The answer: Country Blue Grass Blues/Other Music For Uplifting Gormandisers.

T-Shirt Question

Legendary Boston Celtic coach Arnold “Red” Auerbach died this October. Famous for lighting a cigar when victory was certain, he led the Celtics to nine NBA titles (eight of them straight victories). What Boston law mentions Red by name? The first person to call with the correct answer will receive a Breakaway Courier t-shirt.
