While at work yesterday this guy came up to me and asked If he could get some assistance with the basketball goals.At first I didnt even realize it was him until one of my co workers noticed him. He ended up buying a basketball goal from me and during the conversation I asked him If he would sign a football for my pops." Sure no problem" he said. I figured it will make a killer Father's Day present :D It was funny watching some of the customers walk by cos they didnt even recognize him but then again either did I :lol:

    I heard he stopped by after escaping from Lois Einhorn...
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    I know nothing about sports. I would have asked him how to prevent vapor lock.

    Chad is so much better, and has won just about as many championships..

    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

    and I'll overdo it'

    That's very cool!

    He's a pretty nice guy - my hubby & I met him at Primanti Bros once (a Pittsburgh staple.) He was home visiting family.
