Cob: sacrilege

[baco@pacinfo]

Well maybe we have discovered a whole new impediment to natural building. I
was telling my wife how interested I am in building a cob studio and setting
up my kiln, wood working equipment, and music stuff in it. She said "why
didn't you tell me about all of this before I married you?"

Maybe I have been misdirected in my concerns over engineering standards-
what cob needs is a concerted marketing campaign. How can we use Product
Positioning to associate cob structures with Tommy Hilfigar sweatshirts?

Maybe we could grind up the designer clothes to supplement straw.

Any other ideas for good ol' American marketing?

There is an aerosol product on the market purely intended to reproduce that
"new car smell" - I can't imagine how toxic it might be.  Just goes to show
how far our species has "evolved" ...maybe not... ;)
