Ok, I've been the butt of every Thighber Monday joke since the beginning of this whole money-wasting exercise of giving out free gifts. I will take it no longer. I've cc'd the whole team so everyone can see how you guys treat me.

>>Hey ERRBODY - sorry I'm sending this out so late, but here's the final board presentation for Thighber Monday (11/28). Thank you to all who participated (except Dave and his negativity about "numbers" and "dollars and cents." Dave, giving away free gifts with every purchase for 12 hours doesn't have to be a "viable business model" - whatever that means - it just has to be freakin DOPE. And guess what? It is.)

>>>>>>>>>So it looks like the board is not super on board (ayooo) with our plan to do Thighber Monday again. They don't think it's a good "business practice" to give away free gifts with every purchase for 12 hours on the craziest internet shopping day of the year. Again. They said something about fool me once… fool me 6 times, you'll have to look for a new job. Anyways, I'm sending you guys the presentation so you can help me get it right.
PEEP THAT PREZO
Thanks for the help, fellas.

==============================================
There's gonna be a lot of free gifts dropping tomorrow, so it'd be a bad time to unsubscribe, but if you must, here.
