food, bad year, security, privacy

I’ve mentioned all the times that Tampa Bay has played Philly’s sports teams in the playoffs.  Well just as many times, we’ve had the local media run the “Cuban Sandwich or Cheesesteak?” article, and this year is no exception.  Riveting stuff.

***

Speaking of sandwiches…  It’s been a bad year for oldies DJ ‘Marvelous’ Marvin.  He got a knuckle sandwich in March, and this week, Mason Dixon downsized him from Q105.  You can hire Marvelous Marvin to DJ at your wedding reception.

Speaking of job searches…  He could apply for a job at the Super Bowl.  S.A.F.E. Management wants to hire 2,000 people for Super Bowl security.  The local jobs will pay $8 to $10 per hour.  (I’m pausing here to give you enough time to consider this).

They are looking for any 2,000 people to fill a security job that will last a week and pay 10 bucks an hour before taxes.  Don’t you feel safe?

And assuming 40 hours at $10 for 2,000 people, you can be sure they are including $800,000 in those calculations for “Super Bowl Economic Boon,” even though about $250K of that will go straight to the IRS.  And who knows how much money is headed to Detroit, where S.A.F.E. (Security, Athletic Facilities & Events) Management is based?

Speaking of security…  If the TSA assures us that our nearly-nude images cannot be copied, stored, or transmitted, then how did they get photos of the images printed in the newspapers?

    Super Bowl security guards at $10 an hour. Yeah, I feel real safe!
    As for the TSA checkpoint I’m gonna attach something to my weeble to make it look even funnier when some assclown puts it out on the innernets.

    We all can agree the superbowl comittee is the true ruling body of Tampa and we must all bow before their power!
