Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Brian is definitely a marketing kind of guy. Getting past a little of his personal rhetoric I have had several (all) good deals with him. I do understand his personality has rubbed some folks the wrong way before....but he is a good guy when you meet him in person. I wish I had half his energy...

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>If you guys like the Sham-Wow commercials, you need to check out Vince peddling the Slap-Chop. I saw the ad the other day on late night tv and it had me rolling on the floor. Just a few of the choice quotes (you gotta YouTube it)...<br><br>&quot;you're gonna love my nuts!&quot;<br><br>&quot;stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life!&quot;<br><br>and there are more,<br>-Rhett<br><br><br>Edited to add: Is it me or does the Sham-Wow guy look like the mature version of Leo DiCaprio's character on What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
