BEER Group Read. Empty packages. Why?

[Robin Landseadel]

Welcome to the hall of mirrors, try not to get lost in the labyrinth.  
The "Crazy Eddie" ref /parody [a meme that should get frequent flyer  
miles] all goes back to previous presentations of the ad-soaked realm  
of the televisual. As regards "Packages Unlimited" two things, I  
suppose there is something along the lines of "Packages" for data— 
somebody hep me please.

But of course, a "Vacancy" in UWS? Rare, pointing to some well known  
curses for locations, like sites for restaurants that always die  
within two years. Perhaps some locations have bad karma, like any  
place that ships packages, no questions asked, with a couple of  
menacing mooks guarding the door with UZIs? Not to mention the whole  
UZI thing in TRP anyway. But the shipping of packages that are empty,  
the "Dizzy Cubitts scam, all pointing to the larger scam, ponzi  
schemes already in progress all around us.

Maxi is the sort of experienced broad who can smell fraud. Problem is— 
finding a place where she doesn't smell it.
