    In college I went with a buddy to look into a side job delivering newspapers to various vending boxes around town. As the guy explained the gig to us, visions of people like you appeared in our minds.

     

    We never went back. 

     

    You’d probably stand there and sell the whole pile for $0.10 each.

    What's money! Arm yourself with knowledge!

    There was a video of Joe Mixon punching a woman in the face, and he was still drafted in the second round.....I would rather see a guy like Mixon go undrafted once in a while to send a message.

    Yeah... But that doesn't exactly effect the product on the field.  Sanders might be unplayable.

    I only dealt in Marvel. Anything after 1972- 75 are fun but not valuable. Just like collectors cards - too many were printed.  I still hold onto Star Wars #1 (1st edition) as there were many reprints. Ultimate favorite - Iron Man #200

    Comic Book Vending Machine

     

    Cool!  Is it like the old newspaper boxes, put the $0.12 in & take the whole pile?

    My favorite Pope Francis quote:

    "It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help...if I say I am a Christian, but I do these things, I'm a hypocrite".

    A quote which is very much in line with the virtues espoused by Jesus Christ. Generosity, kindness, and charity toward fellow humans -- particularly the vulnerable and needy. A concept which is worth trumpeting, and which is worth pursuing and adhering to. 

    May Pope Francis rest in peace.

    R.I.P. Francis, you were fresh in a stale world...

     

    Old Testament addressed the hypocrisy too...

     

    "The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God."

    ~Leviticus 19:34

    What’s the difference between grits and polenta? 

     

     

    About $5. 

    One's sold in a tube and polenta will probably give you worse pellagra if that's the only thing you eat in your diet.

     

    Throw some beans in there and unlock the niacin, for an extra $2. 😉
