Rich, all I’m saying is that you can probably get this shipped here in time. Wear it by itself and I’ll give you $250. Hell, people would probably give you double that not to wear it.

Sorry, Fritchey, I’m gonna pass on that one.

Also, get a haircut, hippy.

Touche. Although haircuts haven’t been an issue for me for quite some time. Looking forward to seeing you Sunday. Hope you can join us for some festivities afterwards.

With all due respect Mr. Fritchey. I read this post and clicked on the link five minutes before noon. No longer hungry.

Interesting the number of pols who are putting up $$ to see Rich become a human popsickle!!

Not sure about motives but the cause is the best for our challenged children and adults.

Get a shot of bourbon after your plunge to warm up the insides. Might need more than one.
