i was envisioning a hotter version of the ‘Amazonian Guard.’ maybe like the ‘Swedish Bikini Team Guard’ or ‘Washed-Up P@rn-Star Guard.’

They need not be washed-up though, except in the literal sense.

^Yes, not because I was laid off though. I already wanted to get out, but also saw some bad undercurrents going on. It was a horribly frustrating and demoralizing experience. Never said it was easy. But if your job goes, what really are your alternatives besides living in Mom’s basement?
Oh man - I want, nay, I NEED VIP membership to IEV’s joint. The most beautiful women from across the globe, you could check off 10 countries in a night if properly medicated and motivated. This makes me want to work harder. Gotta get back to the grind - need that Richland money. I would think CT3 would have to be there, given his in-depth understanding of the best of everything and vast job expertise. BB’s could outsource dealmaking to Richland - the decision-makers will be there anyways.

CT3 will be Supreme Court’s Head Justice AND QB of the Richland Shareholders (An NFL owner will move his franchise over there).

Not sure if we’d want the NBA, that would run up security costs too much.
if we had the same laws as the open seas we could have some of the greatest fights, gambling and trading operations known to mankind.
