Welcome to the lair of that psycho scarlet sorcerer known as Crazyredwizard. He just hangs around here working on spells and incantations, trying to mesmerize anyone that passes by.

Will work for beer
A friend of my cousin's husband is trying to get connected to Xbox Live. I told him what he needed to get but he keeps running into problems and he has no experience with this type of thing. He finally asked me if I would go over his house and set it up for him for $50 because the cable company told him it would cost about $300 for them to do it. I said, "No man, I work for beer. Hook me up with a six pack and I'll take care of it for you." I've never seen someone so excited to buy a six pack in my life.

Just don't drink and drive! Dee and I kick people's asses for that offense.
Aaaah, Christmas time. The only time of the year when a techhead can make some moolah.
But then again, they expect you to setup a continuous support contract after that... especially to fix the trojans, virusus and 'those pictures' that they 'may' download 'by accident'.

One of the reasons I work for beer is so it doesn't feel like a real transaction. And the person knows that they're gonna have to go out and buy the six pack instead of just handing me some cash as I head out the door after fixing it for them. I don't make the beer purchase very easy on them either. I showed this kid one of the bottles from my collection and told him that's what I'd like. He asked where I got it from and I said, "I don't remember. That was about 4 years ago." But that all makes it nice even trade doesn't it?
Rene, good rule!
