"sorry, off topic, but what do you guys DO for a living?" Topic

Can you explain the concept?

I've forgotten what it means, this "living" you speak of……

Former Marine, did some contract work on the intel side, now I work for the Gub-mint. I'm 100% with the guy who'd like to be an eccentric millionaire that plays with toy soldiers. Then I'd let folks see pics of my toys on TMP, because I would have paid someone else to paint them and they'd be beautiful!
