The Maturing of the "Cluttery"!!

Hi,

We live in a message-intensive word. I did a cute-little survey the other day. My neighborhood has 32 messages every kilometer. This survey was done in a residential locality. Each home has "No-parking" placards on its front gate "donated with love" by advertisers.

Fact 1: We live in a clutter-some world.

Fact 2: Our mind gets weak with these messages

Fact 3: It takes energy to have fun amidst this clutter.

Fact 4: Don't try to cut the clutter. Make it mean something. Truly something.

I had once doubled as a copy writer, primarily to bolster sagging personal fortunes. I could not allow writing die ever since. This exercise is to render a comical approach to stickers on cars / bikes / t-shirts.

The name Curtosis - is a morph of Kurtosis, a measure of the peak of a statistical (normal) distribution. Got bitten by this name owing to its inherent skew that beats the "normal".

I am glad to present the first set of messages. I disown all IP Rights of the contents and I also cannot be held liable for the effects (both good and bad) that these messages may cause, if someone dares to use them.

"I am a somnambulist!
I also drive at times!!"

"I am on liquid fuel!
Gimme something solid!!"

"I am a solar car!
But just can't give up drinking!"

"My mechanic has become a great friend!
Who wouldn't be, if you make visits often?"

"Beware! I changed 4 shoes in 6 months, pressing my accelerator!"

"Why risk seeing me on your rear view mirror? Don't overtake"

"Beware! My driving instructor was once a Formula 1 driver"

"Hate this traffic!
You simply dunno how much I wish to be a 2 wheeler!"

"I can actually fly!
But this driver is very mean!!"

"My car has 2 brake pedals!
I am a safe driver, you see!!"

"I quit smoking ever since my car began"

"I envy my car!
It can smoke and drink more than me!!"

"A sprain in the hamstrings can save a lot of fuel!!"

"I am actually a three wheeler. This guy gave me a hike for being good!"

For 2 wheelies:

"I am a 4 wheeler. I just don't show my true colors"

Happy cluttery!

Vijay

Curtosis will now be new way of life, indeed i should say that it adds great charisma and converts "T-shirts with boring colours" into "intersting captions with a T-shirt"

The posts were really great and expect many more :)

A small curtosis.. :)

"I like to read and smile
-Thats why i wear Curtosis T-shirts"
