Criss Angel Risks Job Says Hobo Joe
We know what you’re thinking. Didn’t he just start a new job? Isn’t it somewhat soon to take a vacation?
When we began work at the now famous Hobo Hot Kakes (“HHK” to locals) eatery in the old Sun Coast Shopping Market in West Palm Beach, Florida back in 1974, our family wanted to take a long-planned vacation to Valdosta, Georgia for the annual festival of agriculture and innovation. This is long before Valdosta became the international city it is today.
Our new boss at HHK said no vacation or no job. Even though we had a whole ten days tenure on the HHK bus/dishwashing crew, we couldn’t take a vacation until we had worked at least a year.
Our heart told us to go with the family to the Valdosta fest, but our brain said we could be messing up a job with enormous upside potential. In the end, we stayed while the family went to Valdosta. They had a great time, we got ringworm — for reasons unrelated to our work washing dishes but directly related to busing tables.

Hacked but We’re Back!
Hacked!
Some have noticed that Inside Magic has been apparently dormant for a couple of weeks. Perhaps, they thought, it was due to the holiday break or maybe Tim had gone on another bender. Nay nay, we say.
We were hacked by someone, someone bad: Someone with too much time on their hands and technological sophistication sufficient to turn idle hands towards evil.
The site was hi-jacked by the hacker person so that the dedicated and decadent staff at Inside Magic was unable to get in. We received a horrifying screen image each time we tried to enter and notification of our own impotence — a status about which we need no reminder, ever.
Finally, we restored the site to status quo ante, or so we thought. As we attempted to enter the latest hub and bub from the world of Magic, we again met failure and our screen displayed the horrible image and notification that our expenditure of great funds for cleansing and refurbishment was for naught.
We hired a second team of specialists.
They were able to trace the ne’er-do-well to a country that is also an island and is also a continent in the Southern Hemisphere and with “A” as the first and last letter of its name. Unfortunately, our site was not the only one hacked by this son of unmarried individuals. Big sites with big names and big databases were also hacked and their security teams were able to identify the country but little more.
