You know, for an elegant weapon of a more civilized age her saber seems rather impractical and inelegant.

That looks like an ergonomic nightmare when folded up. Nice reference and info though!

I’ll go even further and say that I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they worked out a way to not only pay no tax but also get the government pay *them* money on top of it.

They don’t talk about it much, but very few of those Bud bottles get adopted after the game. A lot of them were put down.

There’s gift tax exclusion which only takes care of about 10 million. The rest of it has to be estate taxed before it goes to all of his various trusts and such. This will be taxed(Current Tax Guy here)

Pro-Tip: If you want to increase traffic, don’t call it an Oakland Athletics blog. Say it’s a very early blog about the 2022 Yankees.
