INTRO
Oh hi,
This week on Filmsack we put on our murder money, pushing boots and go simple when we throw away all of our bedroom window blinds and head over to HBO Max for some “ceiling fan set on low” deep thought staring action deep in the heart of 1984 Texas. Deep. So hop on the bar Blood we about to drop some Tops “Same Old Song” into the jukebox and bury this first of the Coen brother’s movies alive.
Anywho, I started a new side hustle this week. It’s kind of a niche market though. Yep, for a few thousand dollars I will pretty much do anything you want…so long as what you want is taking photos of people sleeping in beds next to windows with no blinds or curtains. Hell…even if you don’t want the photos I’m going to take them anyway and show them to you..but I’m gonna need ’em back …ok…oh..and I do some photoshopping on the side of my side hustle…so if I paste a dick butt meme on the ass cheeks of your cheating lover that you can’t unsee … well, no extra charge.
Randy, you got anymore of that Alka Seltzer and Milk you keep on your desk next to that photo of your wife and your hairy chest…WHY SO MUCH HAIR! BARF
