Shopping Day

Today we went to the supermarket.   You might fink we are goofing off, but this was an assignment for school.  We are learning about monies, budgets and the effect ob adbertising techniques on the aberage shopper.  Ebaluating brand recognition and other types ob bisual appeal to encourage purchase.  Smart packaging helps its targeted consumers feel an emotional attachment to a brand.  One-third of consumer decision-making is based on packaging – that means elebenty people out ob like thirty will pick it first if it’s cute.


Did you know black, silver and gold are often used for luxury products?  Not many ob those in the snack food aisle…

Cosmo:  “Ooooh… look at all the different kinds ob popcorms!!!”

Augie:  “Oh look!  Corm cereal, we need to get some ob that for sure…”


You guys, we hab to finish our assignment…

Temmessee Bizness

We decided to catch up on our bizness trabels this weekend, then next week we will hit the school stuff hard!  Granulashun is only a few weeks away and we hab lots to learn yet!

Today we met our friend Shirley Loftin at the Great Smoky Mountain Natshunal Park in Temmessee.  She said there might be black bears there, so we had to hid until Shirley showed up to show us around.  Bears are serious bizness.  I know what you are finking, but it’s true, we did see a couple and they inbited us to hab snacks wiff them. I was really wary ob the inbitatshun, but we did it, and they were berry kind and friendly, they really like marshmallows, but they were too sticky for me. They told us about Clingman’s Dome, the highest place in Temmesee, they said it had a great biew so we went there and it was gorgeous!  We looked at the stars and talked to Milo ober Hype Radio and he told us what some of them were.  We saw the Marty star!!

The next morning we went to the aquarium and talked to the fishes and pondered some important life issues, then went to Chattanooga and saw the choo choo.  Trains are cool.

Fank you Shirley for the great bizness license and tour!  Make sure you say hi to Cleo & Chuck (the bears) for us when you see them again.  xo  Dis Bean.

Monday Pillow Sock

Today, because ob Monday, I am trying a new fing, it’s a Pillow Sock!  My friend Natalia made it for me, I guess they use these in Minnesota alot because it’s really cold.  It’s great!!  Like a pillow and a sock combined,it’s better when it’s just for one, wiff Bean in here it gets kind ob crowded.  Howeber if we can fit in the right way, it might really comfy for boff ob us – and wiff Cosmo too.  We would just cancel Monday like Marty and Fibbs did, but we don’t hab that kind ob power yet.  P.S. Dis Augie.

Fank you Natalia!!  It’s a brilliant inbenshun!

Printer Class

Dis Bean.  Today we had printer class at school, we learned all about the buttons, and the ink and what it means when it says “PC Load Letter”.  It also scans and faxes stuff, but we can’t learn eberyfing at once.  Printing is a berry important part ob Internashunal Bizness.  Right Augie?

“Hey!  Hab you guys seen this jar??” – Augie

Iowa Bizness (and corm)

One more stop before we head home for more school classes – Iowa!!  Mom talks about Iowa alot because her mom and dad were from there, and it’s really a beautiful state wiff all that CORM!!  We went on tours of the corm field and snacked on the different kinds ob corm.  We had corm chowder, corm on the log, pocket corm, corm pudding, cormbread, corm cakes and regular corms.  I fink this might be the best place eber!  We need to make a bizness here for sure.  Maybe Augie’s Pocket Corms. Would you buy that?

Fank you Christina Hancock!  We waited for you at the Smokey Row Cafe wiff some cheeseburger chowder but maybe we got our dates messed up, we will see you next time for sure.  xo

P.S.  I had to stop at the American Gothic house in Eldon IA to recreate my faborite painting.   – Dis Cosmo

Souff Carolina Bizness

As we left Connecticut, we called mom and told her we were going to stop in Souff Carolina, and she said be sure to say hi to Shep or Thomas Rabenel if we see them, but I hab no idea who she is talking about and I wouldn’t know who that is eben if I saw them.  So we just did some window shopping in Charleston, there were a few storefronts that would make for great bizness!  I fink we might start a bizness called Augie’s Pockets.  We might sell cheese.  It’s still too early to be sure, we hab alot ob school left to do before we commit to anyfing, but it’s good to scope these fings out.

Fank you Rebekah (wiff a K) James for the bizness inbitatshun!

Connecticut Bizness

Next stop on the trabel tube… Connecticut!  We spent a lubly day enjoying the water and watching the boats going out ob the harbor, then back in the harbor, some ob them went fishing and some just seemed to float around.  I fink we could build a bizness around this.

Fank you Paul Littlefield for hooking us up with the proper Internashunal Bizness credentshuls!

Michigan Bizness

You guys, we got a phone call from our friend Fran Hoffer to come get Michigan bizness, so we took a short tube ride to get there and explored Detroit.  We found this awesome Stargate!  Ebery city needs one ob these, it’s incredible!  We didn’t feel like going to space today, but if you see it, you can hop right fru and bisit a different galaxy.  I fink that’s how it works anyway.  That’s the big round one, there are lots ob other statues around too, but they don’t take you to space.

Fanks Fran!!
