Is there a prime window of bribing? Should I start now for next year?

Hey, speak for yourself Dan. I can totally be bought!

...it's just unlikely that anyone could actually afford me.

I got an email from Team B&S recently asking for my address.
I accused him of planning to mail me Anthrax as a way to eliminate the competition.
The reply stated, no, that they were sending a t-shirt.
I then accused that this was likely akin to the small pox blankets the Calvary gave the Indians.

Sure enough. A shirt arrived yesterday.
I'm not sure when the small pox will really take effect...

If it's anything like the SARS episode of South Park, start your chicken noodle soup and sprite diet immediately

No good. It's only 98% survivable. Time to euthanize.

I re-read my post again today and realized I may have been a victim of auto-correct.

What I intended to write above was:

This guy is a crass hack!

And I thought that no more bribes would be accepted after one of the Hongs gave you guys some very questionable "adult literature" a few years back.

No, I think what you are remembering is that we stopped really touching the bribes after that. And started carrying hand sanitizer.

Unless the bribe is in the form of a big bowl of chocolate chip cookies. The guys were all about that in 2013.

Didn't Karl break the bribes one year with a pig head or something equally disgusting?

You really fill that shirt well, John.**

**(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

And we wouldn't think of using smallpox to deter your efforts. The event is in Florida...Zika baby, ZIKA.

It's a mounted wild boar's head. And yes, it's disgusting--it has big, gnarly yellow teeth. Tim loves it, however, and put it up on the garage wall at the cabin. I told him it did not come in the house.

In reply to Marjorie Suddard:

I bope the swag cheered you up a bit, Marjorie. Seems like you were having aspartame withdrawal now that you've given up Diet Coke.

You'll need to log in to post.
