Only the Space Station is green, as they recycle "pee", for drinking...for example. What does Rev., Dr., LLC, Harris have to offer? The promise of GREEN money for investors? HAHA! Wood....WAIT! What color is a troption? And what Star Trek episode was it on? Never mind, that was the "Trouble with Tribbles" episode. Damn, Sorry
Grifters tone their art. It's survival for some of them. They may, and/or not have made JV aware. But JV originally believed in FC. It drew in capital. So he may have been drawn in, and JV swore he didn't know. He knows now after the fact. Is he guilty? THEY are trying to fix it. Let's see. JV had his share of court appearances, for sure. So we need to kick back, and let GH spill his guts, so we, the investors can say to each other, that, yea, this is going somewhere. Maybe. I want confessions. And I want the website updated....just because for them to get rid of the GRIFTER rumor. WOOD
I know. I have been well aware of the "transformations" of the Reverend Garland. It started out as him being the recipient of some porn site, by default. Worth millions of dollars. Who knows? ...He himself could have made it all up, to get more sought-after exposure, since he realized, after maybe reading somewhere... that 'PORN' could be considered the most sought-out item on any search engine? Let him suffer; as he himself has lost faith in humanity, and lost track. And that with his 'brilliant' mind, might we be too many steps ahead of him? Good grief! GRIFTER? WOOD
Hold your horses,(including our beloved Big Brown...), just because people stray from a hypothetical business plan, doesn't mean they want more free money, without putting in any apparent effort. We'll just send them troption-options! A promise to produce more options to buy any troptions! Damn, won't any of us get it? WOOD p.s. Safia and Mark read this:http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=754749
(tried to remove the excess "P" from appoligies, sorry.) But I had to "p". But hey! Did Garland ever even think of a FREE OIL CHANGE? Have the customer bring their own fresh oil, and DRMF will change the oil for every customer, who buys a pizza! It's great! Austin will be swimming in CRUDE OIL! @ $135 a barrel, GH WILL be RICH! Someday.....) WOOD, ...(SEE , I'm NOT always crazy!)
Is there any Bassist to all this Violinist? I guess any four-stringed, hallowed-out gourd will do! We have GH singing "If I WAS A RICH MAN..." from FIDLER ON THE ROOF! But , haha, I see a CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF! CHUCKEE CHEESER (Wood) LOL..(Appoligies to all our Jewish brethren)
*A troption is a financial derivative that derives its value from the underlying goods or services of member companies. Troptions can be exercised for the goods and services of member companies or traded for profit. GTP will act as a market maker for troptions enabling GTP to facilitate potentially millions of transactions for member clients....(In other words, if there are no member companies, you're screwed. Stick with good old-fashioned cash dollars, cause you can believe me that G.H. converts his 'Troptions' instantly to cash, ASAP.) lol Wood
I agree. But there aren't enough crazy people out there. I suppose that is why they refuse to update the 'LOCATIONS' menu on the "Website". Are they genius or clever or what? (Or just PLAIN FRAUDS?) Wood
1st stage: Go forward w/blinders on. Don't use common sense, or register securities with Penn. 2nd stage: Get sued. (JV played this step perfectly) including this: http://tinyurl.com/6nfujb 3rd stage: Spend all the money before you lose it to lawsuits. Step 4: Beg for more........Wood
Johnzee, Unique in Oconomowoc is for sure open. I had to call them up up, and I explained to the phone answerer that I was just testing his phone line. He did say a friend of his had difficulty with calling in from a Vonage account, which could explain the blogger from "MilwaukeeWorld"'s problem. But good work on finding the article, though. Wood
Oh, BTW, Barbaro....The name you picked for yourself, the clever reference to a dead horse, didn't escape me, lol And PA, Sagebeech wants to PM you, as he wants to contact you via your e-mail. I think he wants to take you up on the free dinner you have offered ? I still am not sure who he is...could be Jack Carrol? Beemer? JV ? Anybodys guess, right now! Wood
If you ever get bored of the new b.s., just listen to this, the old b.s. ( I like the "35/1" PE ratio quote, it's my favorite bogus statement of all time, next to the "we were shorted 8 to 9 million shares, by some off-shore companies". It should have have been 21/1 PE ratio by the competitors, and only JV knew secretly he was planning on dumping the "8 to 9 million shares", as provided by the insider disclosure form.)http://realityceo.com/video.asp?File=video4 Wood

Hang on now! Maybe the folks at Austin will someday realize, that some people get paid on the 1st and 15th of the month, not just on Fridays. We then would have a whole new ballgame! Ya think? lol Wood
It's helter-skelter. Today a dollar and eight cent trade managed to drag the pps back to sub-penny @ .009. It's like the old Spike T.V. show, "The Joe Schmo Show", where "Joe" says: "What's going on around here?" lol Wood
Where were you then, if you are going home? Heck, I just sat down to figure out "the bottom line", and all I found was a "skid mark". Have a great day. Wood
Duh, we know that already. If you are a serious investor, and have some beans invested, sure. I was a newbie,here,originally, and I made a lot of queries, to people involved. A 'muck raker', so to speak. Pay attention, and don't listen to me. I just sought for the truth, and it is forthcoming....we hope. They already know they can't lie any more, and let's go from there. Thanks. Wood
If what you say is true, more power to you. Rumors go on in all parts of life. And IF JV reads this blog, as rumors may have it right , sometimes, I hope that "THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE OIL" theory will work your way. Maybe JV will offer you a free franchise renewal, when and if that time comes around. A token for dropping the ball, on his part, to make it up to you, if he chooses to do so. IMO WOOD (Goodwill goes a long way in the business community, and wouldn't hurt the UPZS image at ALL, and would be a welcome attitude change.)
Wow, above a penny, finally! Nintey-nine more cents, and we can smell the Nasdaq. (Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"): ....because shares of a common stock had closed at a per share bid price of less than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, it faces de-listing, but has 180 days to correct this. To do so, it must have a close of 10 consecutive business days above or at $1.00. Rule 4450(e)(2). Wood
And don't ignore the new feature on the "something old, something new, something BORROWED, something blue :(... " website. It's the HALL OF FAME! Congrats to Mark R. from Arizona, and Don J.,from Wisconsin, investors in UPZS who made ALL the difference! (PICKED out of a hat, from ALL the OTHER idea filled investors? Or randomly picked out of a phone book?) No matter, I will just be scorned as being JEALOUS cause I was left out of the fold. Boohoo, sob and darn it all! Maybe next time! L.008NG on UPZS! WOOD
Amazing. They were able, or had the gall, to raise the menu prices an average of 70% from the 2006 Official menu, and yet cut the overhead by +86%. We have seen the future, and it is here! SQUEEEEEEEEZE that dollar! Open only 52 days a year! The next move, I guess, would to take that extra time off to scout out the other 119 locations! IMHO.lol
Thank you very much for your post, Rookie. It was enjoyable. I could easily tell that you spent considerable time, energy and focus for the wisdom and wit that was consumed! I was taken aback when I heard, second-hand, that the Brady Street (Milwaukee) store had closed. Sad, if true. When a person invests in a company, like UPZS, one could only HOPE and TRUST, that the money invested, would be wisely used to create more value to said stock. I guess we'll wait and see. And if JV does read this BLOG, I just HOPE that some of our positive ideas, although admittedly few, will not be looked at in vain. And where's the Beemer? I wanted to know what he thought about the Henderson/E-Bay store idea.http://tinyurl.com/4nbzua Wood
PA, wasn't there a post about a California store being ready to open? Did we not see a photo submitted? What ever happened? And was it mentioned in a recent CC? Thanks, that is all I want. Thanks
To be neutral here, I don't know, as a percentile, how many pinks have the CE rating? And I'll admit that I don't know how many non-english speaking folks called the CC. Sarbanes-Oxely takes care of the accounting aspect, for taxes..etc. And if Austin opened earlier, the non-English folks would have been invaluable. I guess the CART was put before the horse, here. No one is at fault. If you make less money,than you're outlay, you are not required to even file Fed taxes. There is a threshhold. IMHO...Que Pasa? (Ich sprecha deutch, Papolsku und ein bichien Espanol!)lol...or as JFK once said: " I am a doughnut!"
And yea...let me go one on one with Garland. When his fountain capital dude tried to sell me a discounted price for upzs one day... I knew there was something wrong. Instinct? Like when I told Dahmer to go home alone? As friends,Garland, God is good. We are GOD. He is not invisible, he is IN our hearts. I thank you for repenting for your previous misjudgments. I hope you do well. Sorry for exposing you, than again, you can thank me for exposing you. Good luck. WOOD
(heck, the purchase would DOUBLE the corporate exposure in Vegas, and help out our looooooooooong stock positions, LOL) JV, in advance, you're welcome! WOOD. (AND LET THE GAMES BEGIN!)
May I offer a "truce" token? A distraction perhaps? There currently is a pizza shop for sale, on E-Bay, in Henderson. They offer subs,too. The seller is apparently a used car salesman. The latest bid is at $13,433.00. If JV was smart, he would be ALL over it! (seeing that the corporation has turned into a cyber "laptop" business model, I see a perfect fit!) Plus we all can watch with amazement as the clever and deft JV somehow gets his hands on this gem! Lets all sit back and see!http://tinyurl.com/4nbzua
"Mr. Budzinski has been working with a commercial real estate agent to develop a list and visit potential locations for new stores. With the help of UPZS' senior management, the entire Wisconsin market will be a strong focus for new stores and conversions of existing pizza restaurants over to Unique Pizza and Subs. ``Our plan is to continue opening as many locations as possible within the Wisconsin market. We have confidence in Unique's product to get us there,'' stated Budzinski."....LOL.....Now read this:http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=738102
Than I take it YOU didn't listen in on the call? A simple NO would have sufficed. If I lose my $10,000 investment in this "venture", I just want to know how I did it. Than I can look my kid in the eye, and say: "I believed in a stranger. Thats why you may end up working for him." (instead of going to college) IMHO
Well P.A., what actually WAS said during the last conference call? I was too busy helping a friend of mine move all weekend, and I was hoping someone here would enlighten me.
No, he could have been. I like him. Believe it or not. He knows his business. And coming from a BIG family myself, and how I know that we didn't all agree on every aspect of life, he shouldn't be persecuted. I wouldn't....(get it? Wood! lol) get carried away with responsible investors just trying to get straight answers?!?! Crap, Jay Leno just announced something about 'Pizza Beer', and you can pewk with chunks already added. Hell, his writers must own some stock, here. lol
How about PIZZA FACE? Damn, that has been there, and done that, also?.........signed, POCKED FACE:( p.s...Is that where JV got the idea of having mashed potatos on pizza? God bless John Belushi!)RIP!
Cripes, I felt guilty today for 'letting it all hang out" last night. And I see there are no responses. Good. You want excitement? Check this out, (and you might wish YOU ran the company!) I wish JV was there, he might LEARN something. I hope to God the guy isn't addicted to cocaine or some crap!:http://www.pizzaexpo.com/2008/exhibitor_list2.cfm (IMHO)
What we have here is a HUGE generation gap. Initially, JV hired has-beens in their field, (albeit experienced), whom you would assume would expect a salary commensurate with past success. (and we know they left) Then you have the Garland Harris side of things....wannabees....who hype for a living. JV didn't know what hit him. OBVIOUSLY, the wannabees continue to hype, and dropped the BALL, when it comes to being team players. They knew how to get the Austin name on the new/old web site, but didn't realize the importance of continuity, as far as the UPZS bigger picture is concerned. It spells of SELF, and no one else. I feel bad for JV, as he has to deal with total idiots, who can't see the bigger picture. Yea, you Mark Ellison, you were assistant to the produce manager, of a grocery store? If JV would wake up, and hire real college grads....you guys would be history. A REAL WORD to the really wise! It's not too late. Sue them! Get them gone! And start the company of YOUR dreams. How much wood CAN a Woodchuck chuck? LOTS! ALL OF OUR OPINIONS! (except maybe RK's....he's tooooo long on something!)
Next cc, according to the old/new website, is Tuesday, April 1st. They managed to add "Austin", to the "site" (oh, but of course!) And the coupons mysteriously disappeared (who would have thought?) If I order my MagicJack in time, I'll attend. (I haven't been posting, lately, since scrap aluminum cans went to a dollar/lb., recently. And believe me, I make more money on discarded cans, than I ever did on UPZS!) Wood
I am a very religious person. I am a sinner. I will never use the name of God in vain. I like people. And people who know me, like and respect me. The point I am trying to make, is...thanks JV for recovering from an ugly situation. I'm sorry for laying the truth out there, but God loves us all, and you don't own it. We have ALL been affected by your dream of success, and wish you well. It seems we have a lot of experts, free of charge, to help you out. I hope you sue the crap out of the Ellisons, for using the corporate Logo, as if they owned you. I bought stock in UPZS, not DRMF, GTPO or any of Garlands failed Companies. I know they stuck you, we'll help. Me
There are two stores, but the Austin crew won't update that fact, on the website. They are too involved to be team players, they don't realize that promoting others will help them. IMHO
A guy like Garland doesn't have a garage. Or need one. God made him "RICH", so may I assume he hitch-hikes around this good earth, spreading the TROPTIONS to one and all? (or he changed his legal name to RICHARD, to avoid prosecution...? That's the ticket!)
Johnzee, you can't "get blood out of a turnip". You know first hand that the company's cash-flow was based on a "our needs come first", model; Not yours, not mine, nor even a "leaky" roof. The real leak was in JV's pockets, spending like a bigshot show-off. There is no money to pay you guys off, not now, anyways. It was spent lavishly and foolishly. And we both know it. Saint Patrick came to Greensburg and ousted the snakes! PS....the latest "marketing" strategy : http://www.myspace.com/uniquepizza_austin
The devil's in the details! lol That stock symbol should stand for Don't Release Meaningful Financials. WHY? (We'll Hijack Yours!)
