Abstract

"Don't even get me started" is a powerful and direct, yet vague and meaningless, expression. What if you reply: "By all means, please, get started". I believe that this will stun your opponent (it may be a friendly discussion, but if you don't believe the other person is an opponent, you will never win.). Then, you can quickly grab his/her nose and yell: "Twos before eights, and one bird in the bush". It can be very entertaining unless the other person is your boss or your psychiatrist. In any case, this column dares to go where no column at CCR has gone before. It is all about getting started. And by that, we mean starting start-ups.

Warning: the content below is not suitable for small children or adults with common sense.
