Plaque #1 Available For Pre-Order

The Original Patient Compliance Commemorative Plaque
In response to the pleas from the populace, The Heck OF A Guy Blog, in association with AlignMap, the Internet’s premier site dedicated to optimal treatment plan adherence and implementation, has commissioned a series of artistic memorializations of DrHGuy’s walker exploits in the service of Patient Compliance, achievements initially reported in Awaiting Weight-bearing - Still and Walkernastics.
Pictured atop this post is the first offering from the series, the descriptively entitled Triumph Of Patient Compliance: A Tribute To DrHGuy’s Performance Of A Unauthorized Alvin Ailey-Inspired Choreographic Sequence Adapted For Adherence To Post-Hip Pinning Rehabilitative Instructions For Avoidance Of Weight-Bearing On Right Leg With Physician Prescribed Accompaniment By Assistive Walking Device, which captures the courage, aesthetic integrity, and athletic elegance of DrHGuy’s dynamic adherence to treatment in a compelling charcoal on marble etching.
The Only Authentic Patient Compliance Commemorative Plaque
To protect buyers from product devaluation secondary to fakes and cheap knockoffs, these limited edition pieces, each signed, dated, and numbered by DrHGuy himself, are distributed exclusively through the Heck of a Guy Mercantile and Schwag Emporium. Each plaque is accompanied by a Certificate Of Authenticity establishing the item’s provenance, including the stipulation that the artists, designers, subjects, and sellers have no connection to known terrorists, foreign or domestic.
is the ONLY patient compliance commemorative plaque
with documentation certifying that no profits from its sales
are sent to known terrorists1
To assist buyers in demonstrating their fiscal savvy to spouses and neighbors and provide documentation for those so imbued with altruism that they purchase a plaque with the intention of donating it to charity, the Certificate of authenticity also alludes, with an ambiguity that itself approaches artistry, to a True Market2 valuation at least sixteen times higher than the incredibly low price actually charged in this special introductory offer.3
Pre-ordering The Patient Compliance Commemorative Plaque
The production run of these limited edition pieces will be completed soon, at which time these items will be offered to the general public. Prior to the shipment’s arrival at our retail outlet, however, Heck Of A Guy and AlignMap readers have the exclusive opportunity to pre-order this especially significant First Edition Of The First Patient Compliance Commemorative Plaque.
Viewers can pre-order a maximum of five plaques at the opening list cost - a price guaranteed regardless of the spiking that is all but inevitable as demand for these highly desirable collectibles drives up the frenzied bidding in the secondary markets.
Further, only pre-order customers can reserve the lower numbered - and thus far more prestigious, and obviously more valuable - imprints from this numbered set.
Investing In Family Values
Imagine the delight your family will experience when these investment-grade emblems of heroic patient compliance grace your home, destined to become family heirlooms so treasured by your children that, following your death or institutionalization - whichever comes first, fights will break out and irreparable psychological damage will be done as those covetous offspring battle each other for the chance to once again cash in on your efforts by selling the complete set at an outrageous mark-up on eBay.
Footnotes
- We were, as readers may well be, surprised and appalled to discover that commemorative items sold by our competitors don’t carry the same guarantee that profits from their sales won’t be used by terrorists to buy weapons and toxic agents with which to attack the country we love, especially since their products are, ironically, purchased in disproportionate numbers by the most patriotic citizens. We certainly acknowledge, however, that customers have the right and the freedom to purchase the kind of items we sell from anyone they like - as long as they don’t mind possibly helping the terrorists win and being enslaved to godless, non-English speaking foreigners.↩
- The True Market is a self-contained, fully regulated marketplace, which, by virtue of its residing exclusively on the hard drive of the laptop which produces the Heck Of A Guy Blog and, in one of those cosmically serendipitous coincidences, rigorously micromanaged by the Heck Of A Guy Blog, is uncontaminated by other exchanges and markets↩
- While including such a document with commemorative items is not unusual, the Heck Of A Guy Patient Compliance Commemorative Plaque #1 package goes beyond the industry standard by adding a second Letter of Attestation, issued by the Independent & Prestigious Heck Of A Guy Bureau of Attestation and printed in an typeface with no affiliation to that used in the Certificate Of Authenticity, attesting to the certification and authentication of the Certificate Of Authenticity. The panel of Heck of a Guy experts are confident that, had they actually spent hundreds of hours researching the tax codes, pertinent statutes, and appropriate rules and regulations, they would find no specific prohibition to the plaque purchaser-donor challenged by the IRS to respond by contemptuously exhibiting before the Federal agents the referenced Certificate Of Authenticity and the Letter of Attestation, both of which are impressively replete with colorful seals, all manner of embellishments, a variety of adornments, and indecipherable quasi-legalistic terminology (especially “herewith,” “forthwith,” “pursuant to,” “once upon a time,” and “when pigs fly”) set on paper of distinguished appearance and high rag content.↩
