I had just come back from an all-night blackjack gig on the Strip, and was checking my email before hitting the sack. The sun was just poking above the buildings, and it was so bright, it was hurting my eyes!
There was an email with the Subject Line of - Canada Needs You -
Strange, I thought, so I double-clicked the email. The message was the famous Bender the Rubber Chicken. I had been to his web site, and admired his determination and courage to promote the honor of all rubber chickens of the world.
In his email, Bender explained that he wasn't able to travel as well as he used to due to age, and would I be interested in continuing his work. Although he couldn't pay me, he would be my mentor, and would promote me on his site.
Since I was just kicking around, unemployed, barely making ends meet playing blackjack at the casinos, I thought this could be a step in the right direction. Plus, it would be in Canada, were no one knew me! It was like starting a new life!
To make a long story short, within a couple months, I was living in Canada, working for a rubber chicken I admire (plus the chicks up here are really cute!)
