Groucho Marxist - obstacle study

 

 

Obstacle?? Ummmmmmmm, no.

Groucho Marxist - barrier study

State-of -the-art, easy-to-use, money-making, crowd control barriers... cuz' you just never know when throngs of people are going to cut their toes on your old metal barriers or someone is going to whip out a boom-box and spin on their head 'til they catch on fire!  I am not making this up---see below (and order yours, today!)

Tamis Corporation introduces the new standard in crowd control barriers. Steel barriers ideal for line delineation and crowd management.

OTW Safety has the safest and easiest barricade to use, not to mention these barricades have legs that fold flat and stay attached but they also have room for advertisments (sic) so you can make money while keeping the flow of foot traffic at you events in order.

An animated look into the reason why crowd control is so important---why crowd control equipment is needed at your event. You may have come across this situation during the following times: March Madness, College Campus, Sports Championships, or Backyard party.  No matter the situation, we want to make sure you have been properly educated by an (sic) Crowd Control Expert @ DiscountDirectionals.com

inspired day @ work

can not begin to express how great it feels to work with peers who share similar ethics, values and ethos.  great respect for one another.  joking, sharing stories, generating ideas in a creative process, comparing work boots.  we're gonna make something good.
