====================
 -> I think 4000000.00 a year is quite a reward, although the
 -> boon of not working for Steinbrenner might be worth 3000000.00
 -> at least.
 HN> I'd think the value of NOT working for King George (one of em at
 HN> least!) would be at least worth that amount!

Most of us here are working for King George in some way, though
we would perhaps rather not.

 -> I hate scalpers.
 HN> ditto! Here in Seattle last night was a Hannah Montana
 HN> concert....(whoever she is) and the tickets that originally went for
 HN> 60-100 bux...were over a grand a seat the day of the concert!!

Did you see that someone was selling tickets to Game 4 for
$17500 each? I think it was a publicity stunt, but it sure
was annoying to go on the secondary market Websites (stubhub
and the like) and see the tickets going for $500 and up,
when their face value was $65 to $250. And it has been
determined that the cause of the snafu was all the scalpers'
bots piling on at 10:00:00. I figure that the way to go
should be to have the person buying the tickets having to go
to the game with his party of no more than 4. If he can't go,
he should have to turn the tickets in and get a refund of
face value.

 HN> Scuppers is devastated, but will forgive you for a scupper snack,
 HN> Jones is laughing 

I was at the mall or someplace the other day and heard someone
say to his kids "ready to go!" and I nearly fell down laughing.
