I think Eddie has some " Vinnie and Vito" sort of guys who negotiate prices for him based on things I listened to in North Carolina. That could render him tax-exempt even at the gas station...lol
But like I said, "I think it is currently impossible for most of us to know whether what we see or read on the internet is authentic or fake." It is also currently impossible, or a least very difficult, to know whether what we see live is authentic or fake.
How do I even know for sure if that was really Eddie? It could have been Vito dressed up in an Eddie costume. Even the dog could have been a robot.
Even David Snider put some electronic thing up against my head to see if I was real. You may think I am joking; ask David. Man, I just saw the other day in the National Enquirer.....

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig? “Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
It feels a bit like the Bible is true because the Bible says it is.
Funny you should mention that, I was just the other day arguing at the dog park with a guy who was saying just that. He seemed to find the circularity comforting. I said, but Bob, I could write a book and say "everything here is true" and that wouldn't make everything true. He replied, but you're not God, and I gave up.
Man, Mark! A similar thing happened to me the other day after coming ashore from a sailing trip!
Well, I rapped upon a house With the U.S. flag upon display I said, "Could you help me out? I got some friends down the way" The man says, "Get out of here I'll tear you limb from limb" I said, "You know, they refused Jesus, too" He said, "You're not Him" "Get out of here before I break your bones I ain't your pop" I decided to have him arrested And I went looking for a cop

Good timing. Maggie says that many say they must bust in early May. Orders from the DA.
Trev, sales tax doesn't count. I don't pay income tax.
Hmmmm... That'd be neat. (Although I know you gave plenty previously - in more ways than one.)

And just how to you plan to verify the authenticity of Illinois?
I cross the Mississippi river every evening when I come home from downtown St. Louis and there's this big sign that says, "Welcome to Illinois, Land of Lincoln". I'm pretty sure that's an authentic Illinois sign. The governor's signature is on it too, so it seems legit.
You have something that to me is just a book of stories. Your belief system makes it "the bible".
The point of that post slightly left turn of a post was to say that people can believe what they choose to believe and like something they choose to like. Like Drake AI, Kanye AI, Usher AI, McCartney AI, Dylan AI, etc... Everything in life is optional. (Except that it eventually ends.)
I understood your point, I was making a bad attempt at a joke. Whether you believe the stories or not the book exists and it is call the bible or variations of that anyway.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
