Sherpas

[TunaSlayer]

So I won the powerball jackpot and was wondering if there was an AT sherpas union to carry my gear and maybe me too. Or do I need to look for some undocumented illegal aliens for this position.

Other positions needing filled are massage therapist and chef, although Rachel Ray is considering this position.

[lukabrazi]

I don't know whether or not to believe you. The odds of us both winning seen slim.

[Dogwood]

You aren't going anywhere with or without sherpas, Rachel Ray(actually I'd choose Giada, she's a hottie and seems like she would be more fun, she's got a knock out smile too), or shi tzu massage therapist until the gov't takes a BIG chunk out of change out of your so called 550 mill. Wouldn't mind having that problem though.

Your tickets must be bogus, I am the winner, and chef Emerill has agreed to come to my new hiking hostel along the CDT, and spread his sunshine. Also Mags has agreed to host a beer tasting weekly for newbie hikers, and which pubs love thruhikers.

...except her head is too large. She'd probably get tired of carrying it the whole way...

If I won, this is exactly what I would do (sherpas to carry my gear) but my celebrity chef would be one of the Voltaggio brothers, maybe they could take turns every other week.

I'd send Victoria's Secret Angels to cooking school in France.

They did pretty good on that one. Every time I get one, something is spelled wrong. I guess you better jump on it.

Who the hell has personal letterhead anymore? 47 million down the drain.

[hikerboy57]

what do you stamp the letterhead with

[Rasty]

what do you stamp the letterhead with

It's almost like something from the 50's. They really need to upgrade their scam letter. Does he really believe that a real civil servant would give a crap about not being allowed to have a foreign account. We have Timothy Geitner for gods sake.

I think his friends call him "Turbo"

I stamped the letterhead with the total amount in my bank account. They will be impressed with the six figure number, too bad it's all ZEROS!

I can't wait to get the 47.5 mil, I've already spent half of it on ultra light cuben gear!
