I think I read somewhere that Marlboro is the most popular brand, but that may have been a while in the past . . .

Law & Order had a segment on someone bootlegging cigs in NYC, I think.

Paul and Susan Messina are not "brave", as some have asserted, to have their tale of stupidity printed in the Observer, they are just a couple of morons.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: By and large the yankee transplants who come to Charlotte aren't the cream of the crop. They are the ones who couldn't make it back home. What makes them think that they'll be successful here?

Throwing out those two professions is just a snide, stupid answer from someone who claims to really want a job.

You're wrong on your ranting again.


I left a great job in NJ w/huge earning potential for '07, but the quality of life for my wife and kids was more important than that.

I made the right choice. Life is short. I'm enjoying it.
