Breakaway News Volume No. 17 Issue No. 1 January 2012

Happy New Year!

Well, we all survived the weather, the family, Uncle Ned’s same old jokes, the ungodly amounts of food and the alcoholic beverages, and made it to 2012. If you’re still feeling hung over from the New Year’s festivities, fer gossakes, don’t go out to get anything. Instead, call us. Our courier will pick up your favorite remedy from your local apothecary, and deliver it to your door. That way, you can have a lie down.

 Thanks for the Love

 We’re overwhelmed, we’re touched, we’re stuffed to the gills. Thank you to all our clients for the assorted gifts of cookies, pastries, cakes, and other highly calorific holiday goodies. Not to worry; we have our bicycles, and we’ll burn it all off in no time.

Reefer To This

 A couple of newsletters back, we reported that we had acquired a refrigerated truck, or reefer truck, for short. It’s proven to be so popular, that we’re acquiring a second one. If you have items that are temperature sensitive and need to be shipped cold, give us a call. From fancy beers, to delicate hors d’oeuvres, we can give your stuff the cold shoulder.

 Winter Retirement    

 Another reason you may want to call our reefer trucks is to ride in them, so you can feel what winter used to be like. The temperatures are so balmy that we’re officially calling winter gone. Done. Retired. Left the building with Elvis. Penguins are calling our reefer trucks asking for rides. You get the idea.

 Bebop Moment

 Bop-a-lop-a-shama-rama-ding-dong-scoodeleebop-ba-doo-wop-zebop-bebop-bada-doo-wop-a-lop (65% of all communication is non-verbal)!

Remembering MLK

 Breakaway joins the rest of the city and country in remembering the civil rights giant, Martin Luther King Jr. MLK day this year falls on January 16^th, the 3^rd Monday of the month. We will be open, albeit with a limited crew.

 Muted Season

An eerie silence has befallen the Breakaway offices as of late. We weren’t able to figure out what it was for a while, but then it hit us; the guys are quiet because the basketball season has started so late. They have nothing to talk about. So that’s how you keep an office full of guys quiet!

 ADD Epidemic          

With so many devices vying for our attention, it’s no wonder ADD is endemic. We at Breakaway wanted to…hey, look, a chicken…

Stump the Band

 Last month we wanted to know where Christmas is not a formal holiday, despite being the birthplace of a holiday favorite. Answer: Turkey, the birthplace of Saint Nicholas.

 T-Shirt Question

 On what U.K. building can one find a statue of Martin Luther King Jr.? The first person to call Gil Ortiz with the correct answer will win a coveted Breakaway T-shirt.
