Ever since the announcement of the
short story Enslaved by the Bonus Whores: A Corporate Man Adventure, Alaskans
everywhere can be heard shouting, “Bring on the Whores!” or “Give us the
Whores!” or just “Whores! Whores! Whores!”
Some Alaskans, eager to purchase new Corporate Man material, have taken
to uttering the phrase, “Hey baby, how much?” on street corners. Sometimes there’s even a bookstore nearby.
Anyway, it’s a phenomenon. It’s crazy.
We here at the Corporate Man Blog,
in our triumphant return to serialized publication of economic superhero antics,
are honoring those frenzied Alaskans with a three part Satisfied Customer
update. In Part One we met this woman.
We dubbed her Mama Alaska and chronicled
her chance encounter with The Tragic Death of Corporate Man text and the
subsequent benefits it wrought including wealth, loss of spouse, and whisper
calm canines. In Part Two we will
examine the wild-fire spread of the Corporate Man brand across the pristine
wilderness of the Alaskan peninsula.
When we left our heroine she was
rich beyond imagining, but desperately starved for human companionship. Remember, this is in Alaska where you can travel around for six or seven years and
never see another person. It’s that big
and that desolate.
She decided that what she needed
were business comrades. So she distributed copies of The Tragic Death of
Corporate Man around the region. It is
unclear how she did this. Either she chucked copies out the window of a float
plane and simply let the winds of fate decide what happened or she made arduous
treks to various ranger stations marked out on maps and littered those sites
with the manuscript. Both are
viable. We, however, lean toward the
ranger station scenario because of the following, photographic evidence.
Not quite the-smoking-gun concrete
variety of proof, but still fairly compelling evidence. We were also provided
with extensive ranger station documentation of sudden book appearances at
various locales throughout the state.
There was an alternate “tied books
to game animals thus distributing them to the Alaskan citizenry via hunting”
culture hypothesis put forth by this man.
He is Alaskan literary historian
and craftsman jardinière, a man whom
we shall call Bubba Alaska . He also seems to
be the sole owner of a mysterious glowing edition of The Tragic Death of
Corporate Man. Unfortunately, we
were unable to obtain Bubba Alaska ’s supposed evidence of game animal distribution as he was
forced to cut our interview short because of some urgent reading he had to do.
Join us next time for Part Three
of this very special Alaskan Edition of Satisfied Customers in which we will
examine the rampant commercialization of the Corporate Man brand throughout the
loveable 49th State of our capitalist union.
