chomerics Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yes, a man accomplished just that, and it only took him a little over a year.

Yeah, imagine what he could do with a a box of paper clips ... or a stapler ... I predict he makes a trip to Office Depot, and in 5 years he owns more real estate than Donald Trump. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashburnskinsfan Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I heard about this quite a few months ago when he was up to the recording contract. But is he sure a 1100 sq foot house in Kipling, Saskatchewan is worth more than a nice red paper clip? :whoknows: :laugh: Even in Winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will trade a canister of Playdough for 2006 season tickets to see the Washington Redskins in FedEx Field preferably in the 100's sections but as long as I have an actual physical stadium seat for the games with an unobstructed view of the field, it is all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
