So, I've been working for the Browns the last few years. This year I finally got bumped to stand management. This means that I get a commissions check and a year end holiday bonus.

Now, I've got a job. I'm stably employed, paying rent, etc. This money is pretty much free game. I'll be getting a check for around $800. I've got a few purchases planned, but was wondering what you guys would do with that money if you forgot you had it coming, then it just showed up? Is there a special mod you'd get? Would you buy new tanks for everything? I plan on playing with half of it, then stuffing the other half in my savings, just for due diligence.

Me? I'm planning on getting a ProVari Mini in black with green LEDs (+2-3 batteries, and a charger.), A 25mm IBTanked for my Lavatube, A Tatroe cone and pro-ring combo in brass (for my full size ProVari. Going for black and gold), and an IBTanked in 22mm, gold caps, gold and black swirled paint, and a gold rook tip.

And maybe one or two of the 9mm bullet drip tips from Loki Lab

What would you guys pull the trigger on?

Reo is a great choice, I don't think I'll ever buy anything else. Got my first one at the end of May and now I have 4. Your going to love it.

I actually intend to get the one in your avatar. The wrinkled black with a copper veined door. How does it look in person? I loved the on-site shot

I would like a job working for the Browns, as I bleed Orange and Brown.

I've been working for them for 7 years now (since I was 15). It's seasonal work, and only during home games. The temperature is never good, either scorching or freezing (but that can usually be said for Cleveland. The stadium just magnifies this), and the corporate side of the Browns drops the ball more than the team. Way more. There's never enough beer to last, and other inventory is just as bad.

The real icing on the cake though, when you're in that stadium, every single concession worker you see is a VOLUNTEER. It's all NPO groups, not employees. I've been working pretty much for free for the last 6 years. AND THEY MAKE THE VOLUNTEERS PAY FOR PARKING.

Somehow that just doesn't smack me right. You show up at 8am and work until 8pm or later, you get paid in tips and 5% door commission to your NPO, the Browns don't have to pay you to get pretty intense work out of you... And you still have to pay them for parking.

I live in Columbus now, so no more of that for me

Edit: Oh yeah, and if you want to see the thing that diehard Browns fans love more than the Browns? It's Bud Light. When you've had people in the line at half time for 20 minutes jjust to get a 20oz Bud Light (for $10, mind you) and then your last keg runs out because the warehouse said "nah. you've got enough" so you have to tell the hundreds of customers there's no more beer?

It's pretty scary. Pretty, pretty scary.
