Possibly the biggest shipwreck find ever, the San Jose offers potentially upward of a billion dollars in treasure. In only 700 feet of water. And despite the article, the finders face a long battle with the Colombian Government for their fair share of the loot.

I recognize him, somehow, the bat-shit-crazy-stoner eyes. Don't know from where...
Anyways, he's had a bit of a rough go of it, a day with Alberta Conservatives, (and he lives here, where does he hang out, I wonder?).
Trust me, His day is nothing compared to mine. Every day of my life at that restaurant is like his day in Mount Royal, Times Ten...
I think I should meet him, and buy him dinner...Then he'd have an article, so far, he's had it easy...

I've been the victim of more of these than I can count. And I'm not even on Facebook. Finally, an article that confirms my every suspicion:
The Quartering of G***

And it's begun, the quartering of G***. Some of the customers, a lot of them, they're going to miss him. Not so much that they'd boycott the place, after all, why confuse ethics with good food? But still, they liked him.
Others are a little less kind. They're the sycophants that declare to the owner they never liked his style of service, found him rude, abrupt, ill-timed, too aggressive, all of which can be forgiven if you know where he worked. They're shitbags, we keep our mouths shut, but they're not our favorite customers...
The owner, he's rejoicing, these post-mortem testimonials, they're all he needed to indict, condemn, him, meanwhile he'd tolerated S** and Z** for years, servers who'd polarized the customers far more than G***, a lot of our customers liked G***, the Nephew, his replacement, is easily more despised by a long shot, but nobody's complaining about him...
...and lets be real, if everybody likes you, we've a thousand regulars, well, if everybody likes you, well, something's wrong...
And G***, he's calling A******, wants to talk, about the restaurant, about nothing, he's in despair, and I can't help but think how fucked up do you gotta be to miss this place? Really?
