Think Goes Bust

Back when electric cars were seen as a possibly viable method of ameliorating pollution in urban and retirement-home environments, Ford brought over some li'l 'lectric beasties from Scandanavia. It owned a company called Think, which like eight of you may recall. It later divested itself of the electron-motivated Norwegian concern, and the new owners found themselves fighting a losing battle. And now they're bankrupt.

  • Damn. I wish I didn't have to say this... but it's just the kind of word that's impossible to not be pedantic about: you spelled "ameliorating" wrong. But I prefer your version. It's much more difficult to pronounce.

  • Nice catch, Mojo. But yeah, "amerliorating" is kinda fun to say. Makes you feel drunk.

  • Oh, is that the next issue of Poof?

  • Well it just so happens I was drunk, so I was doubley fucked.

  • Damn. I wish I didn't have to say this... but it's just the kind of word that's impossible to not be pedantic about: you spelled "doubly" wrong. But I prefer your version. It's much more difficult to pronounce.

  • I know I did. But there's no edit function on here! Eggy face... that's me.

  • Some folks in NorCal probably woud've used the Th!nk for "Amerlotrating" at wineries up and down the Napa Valley...then get busted for DUI when they tried to sneak back into the SF Bay Area while going thru my home burg.
