We had a little fun late one Friday afternoon. We thought we would use marshmallows to practice pronunciation and articulation. It got a little crazy and VERY funny!
Chubby Bunny participants in order of appearance, Kimberly Cortes, Kelly Schaefer, Robert Thayer, Mike Teshuba, Mike Goulas, Steve Perakis, Ryan Whalen, and Joe Garofalo.
We were so excited to be featured in the Detroit Free Press a few days ago.
Jason Teshuba, the Mango CEO, shared how the company got started and some of the character building moments for the company!

We recently welcomed Jamie Zhang to our team as our new accountant. Jamie was very excited to join the Slice of Mango DJ’s as we learned how to say “Happy New Year” several different ways in Mandarin. Here are a couple of ways you can say “Happy New Year”:
过年好！
Guò nián hǎo!
Happy New Year! (This is the more traditional greeting and can only be used for the Chinese New Year)
过 (guò) – to spend time
年 (nián) – year
好 (hǎo) – good
—————–
新年好！
Xīn nián hǎo!
Happy New Year! (This is a more generic greeting and can be used on January 1st as well as the Chinese new year)
新 (xīn) – new
年 (nián) – year
好 (hǎo) – good
——————–
过年啦 ！
Guò nián la!
It’s New Year! (this is said with enthusiasm to exclaim that the new year has arrived)
过 (guò) – to spend time
年 (nián) – year
啦 (la) – grammatical particle
Take a listen as the DJ’s “learn” a bit of Mandarin!
Recently we were honored to be in Time Magazine on their Detroit Blog. This year Time has dedicated staff and article space to Detroit. They have a reporter living here for a year to see what this city is really about. We are excited to have them here as they will see Detroit for more than the sensationalized murders, run down factories and tough times. We wanted to share our view of this wonderful city and Time let us. Click here to read our version of the Detroit story.
I didn’t really think anything as I returned from lunch pulled into the parking lot and saw Dave driving away. Well, maybe I thought – “hmm he’s eating even later than me.” Regardless, I would have totally forgotten about it had it not been for the [Dave OOTO] email sitting in my inbox. Likewise, the email would have soon forgotten, had it not been for the sales fax that came in addressed to Dave. Finally, I would never have noticed the fax had it not been followed by Drew’s suggestion that I hit the gong for Dave. That’s Right! Today, at 2:30 I got the call. Nervously (in my head) I quickly debated, -Do I hit the gong with a series of subtle hits ala Ryan, multitude of powerful hits ala Marco, attention grabbing spectacle ala Bob….. Finally I decided short, sweet, and to the point, a single strong blow to the center. Thanks Dave!
When is the last time you rang a gong?
