Kick ass job.
The amazing thing, you are an excellent blogger, with a Professional touch for the markets, yet you never check your fucking email.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:47 amHey Fly, you can’t send emails to Brian Shannon and expect the the A Dawg to get them. So sorry.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:51 amNah, that was only once. Jeremy and I both have emailed Alpha, to no avail.
Without a doubt, alpha has to be the only man to be on the internet, all the time, yet NEVER check his email.
A new type of internet surfer, if you will.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:53 amIf A Dawg is greater than 47.5 in age, that would explain it. I thought we vetted him, prior to employment?
June 6th, 2008 at 8:57 amHahaha. Sorry, I’m terrible about reading my e-mail. But, I’ll have you know that I check my emails on weekends and high holy days. Otherwise, I’m busy eating pastrami sandwiches and watching MLB baseball.
As for the 47.5 thing, I’m pushing the envelope, soon to join mrkcbill and chivas.
