You should promote @swaye to Director of Sponsorship and give him One job.
In a private ceremony, he was named Chief of Staff
@swaye is working on getting Rolex as an advertiser.
if I had been the screenwriter, that movie would have been so much better. (I say modestly)
When I was in high school, we drove over to Olympia to find someone to buy us some beer. At the time, we were drinking Schlitz malt liquor - must have been the low quality of the Shelton public school system or something.
We drove around yelling at people until we found a guy, and we dropped him off at the Safeway downtown and he went inside to score us our case of the Bull. About 5 minutes later, he came back out the doors and yells at the top of his lungs "They ain't got no Schlitz!" We all freaked out because everyone in the lot was looking our direction and we're a car load of highschoolers - clearly not of drinking age.
We motioned dude to come back to the car, and we blazed out of there - and told him yelling about buying us beer might not be the best idea. We went up to Ralph's Thriftway, scored the Schlitz malt liquor, and dropped dude off out at the Evergreen Ballroom. What happened after that is kinda blurry. I now think how many times I would have been busted if there were cell phones and social media back then. Today's kids got it rough in that respect. Lying to your dads without getting caught was easy back then. I know - cool story, bro. Swaye's mention of malt liquor brought us here.
Next time I'll tell you about when we picked up a couple Koreans to buy us beer and we wound up on a log ship down at the Port of Olympia.
Nice work on the views, Derek. Maybe a little story time here and there will bump up the numbers a bit more.

In high school my best friend had this older dude he knew kind of who would buy us shit at like any time we wanted.
Of course my friend didn't actually know tis guy's name. He was in his phone book as "shit man"
Like he would get us shit. Fucking weird. Never figured out that guys angle. 5 bucks or so wasn't worth it.
But you know, don't look a gift horse in the mouth and all that.

Those were the days. Buy and underage kid a beer today and you probably do time
There was a little grocery shop on the west side where as long as you had a fake ID no matter how shitty he'd sell you beer. We're in high school with cheap ass fakes and it worked. Pretty sure he made a lot of money off that

But back on topic. It's clear that the spike in traffic is due to obks return.
1,773,380 page views for January 2019. We did break the January record. On previous occasions, I accidentally announced that January 2018 was 1.9 million, but that was actually for December 2017.

Of course, all of this sounds very familiar.
Earlier, in middle school (we start early on the Harb), there was a run down apartment building next to the A&W, practically a flop house. There was this old fat dude who mumbled incoherently who was always in bed. We'd go up to his studio, he'd be in bed half naked (this is actually true), didn't ever seem to know who he was or where he was or who we were, but someone in the crew knew his name. The deal was he'd buy us beer and he could keep a six pack. Sometimes we'd rip him off, other times we wouldn't ... he could never remember. Looking back, the guy was in terrible shape and had all kinds of issues, so sad, sad, really, but the fucker bought us beer every time. It was just such a process to get him coherent and coax him out of bed. Sometimes took an hour, sometimes he wouldn't budge, but when he did, it was 100%. We always got the beer and, when girls were in the picture, wine coolers (though he fucked that up a time or two).
My kids don't know a fraction of the shit we used to do.
