			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>So&#8230;what did you do to have a little fun?</p>
<p>Here are a couple of examples:</p>
<p>One of the many coffee shops that I prod now and then came up with this (among other things) for Halloween.</p>
<p>Note the R.I.P. sign, then check out the 2nd image.<br />
<img class="colorbox-2912"  src="http://www.rescuemarketing.com/images/RockCreekHalloweenScary.jpg" alt="Having a little Halloween fun at Starbucks' expense" /></p>
<p>Below in the hand of the chalk outline, a familiar green logo. Who could it be?</p>
<p><img class="colorbox-2912"  src="http://www.rescuemarketing.com/images/RockCreekHalloweenChalk.jpg" alt="Note the familiar green logo on the cup. Refer to the display board in the prior photo." /></p>
<p>Wonder how many people commented about that when they got back to their office?</p>
<p>But it wasn&#8217;t just retail and restaurants getting into the act. Major colleges did too, like LSU who remade the Michael Jackson Thriller music video:</p>

<p>Good stuff and just a few of the creative examples I&#8217;ve come across this week.</p>
<p>PS: For those wondering about the highest adult spending holiday, it&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s Day. Get a head start.</p>
