Morning, Fellas. Hump, hump and away

Good mornin Steve

Good day, Shaun. Looks like there was more info on your Geno Smith story last night... apparently he 'owed' the guy $600 for a plane ticket to attend his football camp in Texas... which he didn't go to because of the passing of a friend in FL. So, he decided to tell him he wasn't going to pay him by sticking his finger in his face with a few choice words. Six hundred bucks... how much do these guys make again? Yeah, don't remind me.

Happy Wednesday Everyone....  It is Wednesday, right..?

The director's here. Are we still waiting on the fluff girls?

Fluffers are on their way(aka: Biker Lady's siblings).  Good mornin Raz.

Morning, Shaun.

According to NFL.com, Geno didn't go to the camp because his brother broke an arm and ribs in a bicycle crash.

I have no sympathy for either player. Coupla divas being stupid.

That's an interesting thought.  But they should have been here at 8:00am when I first woke up..

Indeed, bastiges.  Predictable exit.  At least one poor sucker fought back, though:
Despite its popularity and seemingly irresistible deals, Columbia House eventually became reviled for the terms concealed in its fine print: Though members could nab a stack of albums for 1 cent, they had to buy additional albums over time -- at a high markup and with exorbitant shipping rates -- to fulfill the membership agreement......Though scores of members were burned by Columbia House's fine print in the '90s, one New Jersey man bilked the company out of 26,554 CDs over a five-year span by setting up 2,417 customer accounts at 16 different post office boxes.

There have been no official statements as to what it was. It's all speculation from rumours, and guys trying to break a story... just like anything else.

Now, if you're a Jets fan... the fact he played, shall we say, not so good last year, this may be the silver lining for the new coaching staff.

I have mixed feelings on it though.  Sure they fucked me out of tons of money (and BMG too), but it still makes me feel nostalgic.

Hmmm, wonder if this business model would work for cigar sales?

It's part of the exclusivity of our little club. You don't really belong unless you know the codes.

I joined that club about 10 or 20 times.  I bought my kids a kick ass stereo (CD's) when they were around 9 years old for Christmas.  I think it was an Awia and was on sale for $350.  Then I joined the club and let them split the free CD's between them, then they took turns getting the ones I had to purchase.  Once the obligation was done, I'd cancel and rejoin.  I thought they had some good offers at times and that's when I would join.  Get 12 CD's Free, and purchase 4 with the first purchase at 1/2 off.  My two sons must have collected 100 to 150 CD's each and still have them in their collection.  So I'd get about 16 cd's for around $52.  I did that to the RCA club too.

That was a standard of a generation....even though they ripped you off.
I think I still have some free CD coupons to turn in...
