      obviously, the mello-yello pages book zone would be a hit with the teenz. and then, additionally, if people started donating old phonebooks for membership then it could be the mello-yellopages book zone.

      but i think it’s fine to accept money from whoever. just not your parents because then that means you’re a loser. i live in my grandma’s basement.

      It kinda tastes like Coke mixed with Maraschino cherry juice. It’s super sweet and it tastes way better than it should.

      They could sell fresh roasted peanuts in bags decorated with broken stanzas of timeless poetry. Or just the bags so you can get your fresh roasted peanuts form the guy further down the block but get them in a reusable, literary bag.

      It’s “from,” jerkface.

      But, Gene, your olive oil “business” was just a front named after your childhood friend and consiglieri.

      Has nobody suggested Jell-o Pages yet? Really? Is it too obvious? Then I think they should just go for tobacco money. Mellow Pages Library by Newport.

  20. January 17th, 2014 / 3:22 pm Give & Take: A Conversation with Exxon Mobile/Mellow Pages | HTMLGIANT—

      […] When news broke about the Mellow Pages “hoax,” I wasn’t laughing. Actually, I was downright pissed. After a few days, though, I realized that my anger didn’t lie with Matt and Jason—or Mellow Pages or Exxon Mobile or Kanye West—but with myself. I reacted in a very solipsistic way: I had contributed to their Indiegogo campaign; I am a member of the library; I’ve donated (and will continue to donate) a copy of a Big Lucks book to the library; I’ve recommended that people check out the library and contribute to their campaign and visit the space and get to know those cool bros. I wanted them to stay open. But why hadn’t I done more? Do I even have a stake in Mellow Pages? Would things have changed if I suggested something besides “take the (fake) money and run?” And why does my opinion matter in the first place? […]
