If he can catch a pigskin reliably, that would set him up for a very hefty payday.

And the new way of making meth makes all that paperwork we fill out at the pharmacy to buy Sudafed moot.

Quite frankly he's 23, makes truckloads of money, and doesn't get lit up by DB's - I bet he's happy enough with his current job.

Thanks. Looks like unfortunately I'll only be able to do two props, HP on 9/8 for $80 and the remainder of the week at the nearby HIX (HP was sold out). Have to get to Opryland early every day and also be close to c:rolleyes:-workers.

I didn't realize that would run on a Commodore 64. :-:

I have my copy upstairs in the closet next to the C= shrine. :cool:

MBM3, pleasant surprise on the trip-it connection. Thanks, I accepted :-:.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons should consider branching out beyond license-plates. Put the people who come up with these ideas to work solving issues like how to dispose of nuclear waste and how to cheaply mass-produce carbon-neutral fuels.

I would tell the co-workers where to go (and it's not Opryland). Hopefully, I'll get to earn FFNs again this year with HP Franklin, HP Brentwood, HP BNA, HP BNA-NE ...

You think he makes more than a superstar Wideout?

I was working on contract to BoP back during the anthrax scare - in the National Letter Carriers Building ...

I think he makes about $4 mill, which ain't bad. He could get a nice signing bonus from an NFL team (even without the ability to catch) but would have a target on his chest any time the ball was near.

He doesn't strike me as the type that shies away from competition, and he seems to enjoy the spotlight. The NFL can provide a much larger and longer-lasting spotlight than track & field. You know whatever team he signed with would automatically end up playing in the London regular-season game. Huuuugggeee Jamaican Population there.

Some publicity-seeking owner (Jerry Jones) would pay him a mint, just for the novelty factor.

I was also with BoP the day word spread that one of their wardens had been murdered in a home invasion (2001 or 2002). :td:
