That many Americans are experiencing financial challenges is no surprise to you, savvy reader. That they may be solved by arachnids could be.

Coming from a former collector, that was pure genius. I might have given him special treatment simply based on his creativity.
You should've seen Chips back in his collector days. He'd come in to work every day in overalls and a mullet and tell people things like "I don't care if you have to hold a bake sale, I need $20 on this account by Friday".
One time he called someone's house and the kids said they were at Fry's, he asked where and they gave the crossroads. He looked up their number, had the person paged to the front desk, when they answered he said "Hi, I know you have your checkbook with you, let's make a payment".
Once when a guy said he wasn't going to get his checkbook because he was still in bed Chips said "well maybe if you'd get your lazy a out of bed you'd get a job and could pay your bills".
That guy was ruthless. "Special treatment" means he'd only take a wooden bat to your legs instead of the lead pipe.
Awesome blog btw.
we need more some collector stories on pass the chips...
i may have to provide an anecdote or two from my days as a misguided young telemarketer, though those will mostly be about paroled coworkers and their misadventures with ankle monitoring bracelets.
You're funny and clever...I like you.
Thank you.
Now only if I were clever, good looking and rich instead of just clever and good looking :)
Sorry, Bubba. Daniel is actually all of those things and much, much more. But, I like your blog too. As evidenced by my lengthy one-time comment. (If I don't like you, I don't comment.)
Mike had a mullet? I met Mike when he was 20 and can't imagine him with a mullet. But maybe if I try really hard. Do you have any photographic evidence?
Don't pay any attention to my husband, he's just being his usual intolerable self.
I did have a mullet for about six months in high school. I do have photographs. My favorite is of the 1990 Christmas Dance where I had on purple pants, a purple shirt with black polka dots, and a black vest, topped with a mullet. I was 100% awesome.
