Yeah, trust no one. Scurvey f-ing pirates trying to loot my talent.
We need to get back to fifties-style loyalty. Maybe you guys should institute team uniforms and team-building exercises like loyalty oaths and early-morning singing of the corporate anthem. I pledge allegiance the shoe and to the corporation for which it stands…
Devo corporate anthem.
I don’t think this is quite what Jay had in mind.
They (existing Team Estes’) are all getting a sit down talk……..and its going to spelled out for them what will happen, if I scare them to death-then fine, that proves they are not cut out for this industry. I’d like to thank a certain young man from Seattle for screwing everyting up and yeah, lying to me. Who else had a rider stolen?- I’m sensing more than one has recently happened.
and what would Team Estes’ be without me, oh wait, it
would be Taestes’.
Is that english? Please translate for us.
Aaron was telling me isn’t riding for duffs anymore, which is a shame, i saw him do BS boneless to BS revert to fakie today, he has been killing it lately.
