Its a pretty tough go out there for business owners.I havent gotten the numbers yet but Ill bet my business is off by about 40% this year.Im even cosidering closing for Dec/Jan because its been so slow,even for the off season for me.

I am really going to miss Piercing Pagota!!!

Bing

I'm really hurting about the Linens & Things closing.

You know, I like to go there when I'm bored.

I am pretty bored right now, but not that bored.

Bing

Bing, I know that you are a piercing fanatic, and that the average person, when seeing you, would never know it; it's fine to keep those risque piercings to yourself. We don't want to know.

Freak.

Your timing is good Sunil. I was getting ready to post pictures.

Bing

Business is actually up for me this year.

Go figure...

...for fear that we might discover the TRUE meaning why he is known as Bing

Harsh.

no South American Freak comments needed

No worries Bing, I've been taking a piercing & tatooing correspondence course. I'll have my certificate after 4 more on-line lessons. I've been practicing on the neighbor's dog and I'm getting pretty good. I'll give you a 50% off - first time on human's special at the next Pond Boss conference.

Nothing below the waist though Bing. JHAP don't play that.

JHAP:

What can you possibly be thinking about? Is this a California thing?

I thought Piercing Pagoda was a spicy Chinese Restaurant!

Bing

Now that's funny right there.

Sure is, just don't order the Szechuan-ed Pork.

As the dreads in Jamaica say when you order a Dragon Stout beer..."ya man, good for the old bamboo."

Same here. I'm so far behind I feel defeated. Which reminds me, I need to pick up the shadow boxes so I can get something to you.

Oh so what Bing now you're trying to back out on being my first human test subject client?
