    Love that clip. Really wish Lebron had taken the Jordan route and let his basketball do all the talking for him. NBA is like nascar now, guys are concerned with how to market their image into a brand.

    That LeBron gif is old as fuck and comes as no surprise to NBA fans. There's numerous stories of him tipping like, 10 dollars on 900 dollar bills and shit.

    I've also gotten asked to sell insurance. And they always imply that they actually read my resume.

    Well yeah. I mean as an insurance agent you cost most shops absolutely nothing, and in some cases even generate revenue by existing (They can charge you rent for your office, you entrepeneur, you.)

    If you desperately sell life insurance to your family/friends and then die in a fire, they still made out.

    I... I don't understand this. Was the author of the post in question angry that he only had two romance options and that it sucks because they should have dumped some of the homosexual options to provide more straight options?

    I mean, at first I read a complaint about the "exotic" choice in Isabella and Merril and assumed maybe he just wanted to bang Aveline because she wasn't "Hooker Pirate" or "Slender Non Human". You know, a normal human player. That's kind of valid. But then the rest of the article is all... say what?

    I remember a night when Wayne Gretzky insulted Michael Jordan at the table. It was a private salon game. Michael had ordered a drink from the cocktail waitress, and he gave her a five-dollar chip. Wayne took it off the cocktail waitress’s tray, gave it back to Michael, grabbed a hundred-dollar chip from Michael’s stack and put it on the cocktail waitress’s tray. Then he said, “That’s how we tip in Las Vegas, Michael.”

    Man...a 5 dollar tip on a single drink is ridiculously good. Just because you got money in the bank doesn't mean you have to dole out 100 dollar bills to everyone who comes within 10 ft of you.
