Indecisiveness - I can't decide yea or nay

A Chip on His Shoulder - I figured it would of been "Sorry, I ate them all"

Meeting Across the River - if you're not raised to be cut-throat then stay out of advertising... maybe James made it as a back-up player and cover art designer 🤔

Me thinks young fella that ye enjoy this platform over that "middle" platform 🤪, I canned that platform but the run was good until_______.

Indecisiveness - You do suffer from indecisiveness. Or maybe you don’t. I don’t know, I can’t decide.

A Chip On His Shoulder - Just make up whatever words you need, it’s fine!

Meeting Across The River - Good luck with that guitar James! Also, I watched the video of the 1960s advertisement agency, and it was very charming. I know it wasn’t a natural way of speaking, but I kind of miss the transatlantic accent. Peak pulling power!

I may or may not have chuckled quite a lot at the indecisive one 🤣

I don’t know if I’ve ever commented on this, but I really like the structure of your posts, Mark. The two shorter pieces leading into the third works nicely for me as a reader. It’s almost like having an appetizer or two before the meal! (Sorry, I must have food on my mind for some reason, ha.)

Great stuff as always.

"A Chip On His Shoulder": I can see meetings spent arguing things like "Pringles — Are They, Or Aren't They?" with members coming to fisticuffs.

"Meeting Across The River": I feel like there should be more! To Be Continued or Part I or something. The further adventures of the man who keeps getting pushed in front of the karma bus.

The Chip Society piece reminds me of Monty Python's Royal Society for Putting Things On Top of Other Things. At least yours has a clear purpose.
