        pavy,
        Anything gaming related is run out of Costa Rica and all news out of Texas. We wanted a presence in Costa Rica to be able to communicate better with the industry. Its one thing to work thru email, mssgr, ect., but much better to meet in person with the books as needed. And they appreciate our effort to go down there and be a part of their world.

          For those who need to be in the know, SBR's main office is in Costa Rica. We do still maintain a news office in baking hot Texas.
          Pass by them when going to visit the folks ... probably stop by one of these days and grenade the place (just kidding) ... but will stop to say hello and meet you all.

              Industry has given tremendous development to the working bilingual class for the last 10 yrs. I would say 30-35% of the costaricans that can speak the language work in the industry.

                    Damn Shark ... guess our "security system" needs an upgrade. The howler monkey we keep in reception to chunk poo at unwanted visitors ain't gonna stand a chance against hand grenades.

                          When these guys visit it is like it is the most important trip they ever went on, AOO did you steal anything? Why would you go there on your vacation? I guess whatever floats your boat.

                            Yes...From what I saw it was a pretty solid operation...Texas was great the people were great...the only thing I didnt like was how hot Willie's Chile was...I had to drink a gallon of milk after every bite.

                              Costa Rica is colder than most people think. I went swimming once in an unheated pool and that lasted for about 9 seconds. The afternoon rain is annoying and its a cold rain. But up until noon its paradise and the evenings are great too.

                                Meant to tell you that the gardener found the testicle that shot out through your nose when you jumped in the pool that day. Whaddya want us to do with it? It's in a jar in the back of the office fridge right now but we really need to clean that thing out. Let us know ASAP.

                                  Mr.Hanks,

                                  You are a very inspirational and excuisite person. It was a shame you had to go so fast...We could have gone out for a beer. Where did you end up going anyway? I heard you had to go meet Spiro from the Greek? You always have your eye on these books. How did the meeting turn out?

                                        1. I didnt go to CR. I went to Texas(Like I previously stated)
                                        2. Who says I cant afford a trip to CR? I might not be loaded but I could most certainly go to CR for a week and not have a problem.

                                          Willie Bee- Reminds me of Al Borland from the show "Tool Time"

                                          Will post pics later.

                                          Thanks SBR.

                                            Good job Sharky. Everyone knows Bill and John are in Costa Rica hiding from federal agents yet AAO met them in Texas. What a phony he is.

                                              We move around like a 3 card Monty game.

                                              It was 104 in Texas yesterday. By next year I'll have figured out how to be somewhere, anywhere, except texas in the summer.

                                                ...the only thing I didnt like was how hot Willie's Chile was...I had to drink a gallon of milk after every bite.
                                                that proves he wuz there, how else would he know Mrs. Willie's pet name fer Willies "little feller"?
