    - It's still abhorrent to take their money. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 13:41 8
      - It is. But he can either take their money or try to sell T-shirts on a beach. Might as well make the most out of it. - Marlowe Dec 7, 13:49 7
        
        I'm guessing he's likely good for life and doesn't need the money. I'd find other work rather than take Saudi money. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 14:05 4
        
        I get it, but I also have sympathy for someone who doesn't want to give up their life's work and passion because somebody came in and took it. - pmb Dec 7, 14:43 3

Obliterated (Netflix) is very juvenile in its comedy, but at least it doesn't pretend otherwise. Almost entertaining enough to be worthwhile, but not - prayformojo 🐵 Dec 7, 13:06 13

Even though I don't live in the country, one of my neighbors recently got a rooster. That MFer is crowing constantly. - Inigo Dec 7, 12:41 8
- We have two (Richard Gere and Lord Featherfoot). They crow when they have company as well. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 14:46

There's misuse of the company CC and then there's this guy: - JD Dec 7, 12:28 2
