This is my little story of how Special Reserve came about. Its not true and not intended to be taken serious. Please don't be offended by it.
We start with a young boy named Tony, quite a quiet timid boy who had alot of free time on his hands. In between plotting to take over the world and going to school he dreamed of one day owning a little corner shop that sold boardgames at discount prices. As he grew older he thought more and more of this idea and started to decide how to turn it into reality. First of all he would need a new idea that would sell so he could raise the money to start his shop. His first thought was a lemonade stand but everbody was doing that so he needed something new, something fun. He designed a small game that was cheap to make and he could sell for a profit, as time went by he managed to raise alot of money, as more money came in he thought of new ideas to help him make money. About ten years later he decides its time to get the ball rolling with his shop, now video games are starting to become popular so he decides to get involved and sell them as he sees them as being big in the future.
He realises its alot to do on his own so he gets together with a friend (a lady friend with a few bob of her own) They struggle for weeks over a name for the shop, Tony wants it to be called "Tonys special shop" and his "lady friend" wants it to be called "reserve your games here" so they decide on special reserve althought Tonys game shop would have been better. : )
Years go by and the shop gets bigger and better and they feel its time to expand and branch out and offer more and more services. They hire more staff ( some are slaves brought in from overseas as they are cheap workers). Together they all work as a team creating one of the most succesful enterprises of the present day. So what to do next he thinks, why not give away prizes and attract more customers by finding out what the customers want.
This makes him even more richer and what does he do with the extra money? He decides to set up a website where he gives games and DVD's away each day (he must be mad, but we like it)
So as he sits at home drinking his whiskey beside the fire he ponders on the past and how he became so rich and succesful and he remembers this and thinks to himself "man Im good".
The end
Well that kept be entertained for a while, releaved some boredom there.
