Default Unicycle Shop


Good News!

Having working with computers for a long time. My girlfriend is hoping
to secure a Vacant Shop here in Toronto NSW Australia to sell Adult
Products (Don't Ask) and possible Unicycles. This will be a good
experience for me. These are the ones I will be selling.

*Brands.*
GP Unicycles
Semcycle Unicycles
Torker Unicycles
Savage Unicycles

*Available Size's.*

16' Wheel
20' Wheel
24' Wheel
26' Wheel
28' Wheel
29' Wheel
Giraffe Size's available in 5" 6" or there abouts.

The name of the shop will depending if we get it or not. If everything's
is going right, we will name the shop either be these.

Coyote's Unicycles
Infinity Unicycles
Unicycles Foreshore
Coastle Unicycles

I don't know if my business will be on the net to buy these unicycles
it's just depends if my business is a success or not.
Feel free to have your say and what I could improve on my first ever
business in for a long time. That's about it for now..... if you have
questions about it, don't be afraid to ask.

David

Wouldn't most adults hesitate bringing their children into an adult
store to look at unicycles?

u know, i never thought of unicycles as 'ADULT PRODUCTS' before
but it does make sense
esp when u fall off, at high speed, without any protective gear
whatsoever

and if u dont seperate the juggling/unicycling section from the other
section, so will your bussiness be

mind u, it may be the way to get a certain age group's attention
bribing homeless guys to go buy them a copy of universe...

I read the post as "Girlfriend opening a store to sell adult products
(don't ask) and unicycles...." My first thought is x-rated. Maybe a
clarification is necessary?

Must have been too much of an inside joke for this american so I did the
google search thing. Unless you're referring to the Koi fish expert all
I've got to say is I'll take a savage seat over any doc johnson product.

Here some responses from me to answer your Questions.

Sendhair: ENGLISH only mate. Sorry. Call me David.

Dirtsurfer and Others: Good Question. My girlfriend wants a Adult shop
but I want to sell Unicycles instead of selling Adult Products. By the
way I'm not against it but selling unicycles in an Adult shop seems to
be weird. I'm more frighten for the kids to come in and browse at the
Unicycles instead going in the illegal section.
I'm going to find out this morning if the shop is still available. I'll
keep you posted. Quite Frankly I have a funny feeling about this, Having
a mix business with this. Ooooh dear.

David

Sharing a P&L statement is quite a bit deeper than sharing the
toothpaste tube, not that it's any of my business. The couple
cases I've seen of that ended up just as deep a commitment as marraige,
and equally difficult to get extracted from once things went south.

Question: in the US, the term "going south" means "taking a turn for the
worse". Do those of you in the southern hemisphere have a similar
definition for "going north"?

not that i'm aware of
then again, i dont think your 'going south' has it's origins in
hemisperic crossings



(from the 'word-detective.com)
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.


Dear Word Detective: When my first computer broke many years ago, the
technician told me it had "gone south." I have since heard "gone south"
applied to all kinds of mechanical or project failures, and each time I
have asked the speaker where that phrase came from. Nobody knows. The
best guess I've heard is that it's from the seasonal migration of birds,
that the working of the thing in question has simply "flown away." That
seems like a stretch to me. How would you explain it? -- David M., via
the internet.

Yes, I know first hand about computers "going south," because my ancient
(1996) machine finally went south just last week. So now I have a brand
new super-fast computer with all sorts of snazzy bells and whistles
which I have methodically disabled so that it will run just like my old
one.

According to Robert Chapman's Dictionary of American Slang (Harper
Collins, 1995), "go south" (or "head south" or "take a turn south")
means "to disappear; fail by or as if by vanishing," which certainly
seems to cover a computer or other device that simply stops working and
cannot be revived. "Go south" can also mean to abscond with money or
loot, to cheat at cards, or simply to sharply diminish, as in "Enron
investor confidence went south after Ken Lay sold his personal stock
holdings in the company."

Mr. Chapman's dictionary dates the first appearance of "go south" in its
primary sense to the 1940s, and the "to abscond" meaning to around 1925.
But the indefatigable word sleuth Barry Popik has found a citation from
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of May 1903 in which a glossary of slang
heard at the St. Louis fair reported that "gone south" meant "left the
town; not heard of; to steal." So we can safely assume that the major
senses of "gone south" were already in use by the beginning of the 20th
century.

There seem to be two theories about the "south" in "gone south." It may
simply be a reference to the map-making convention that "south" on a map
equals "down," so to "go south" would be to head for the metaphorical
bottom. A more intriguing theory is that the "south" originally referred
to Mexico, to which one might well run in the early 20th century if one
wanted, or needed, to elude legal pursuit and "disappear."

join your girlfriend in setting up an adult shop and work really hard
at making it a success
u'll make much more money from an adult shop and in a year or two or
three u can diversify and open the unicycle/juggling shop
i suspect that right now, the best bussiness decision here would be to
go for the adult shop
and for u to write all the promotional material
your unusual use of english is bound to catch the attention *



I'm taking your advice Dave and Thanks for the complimentary.
You're right......I will set up a Unicycle shop in a year time or two or
three and well see what I could improve my new business.
Oh and for the others Thanks.

David.
