Or approximately 101 taco bell bean burritos. Or 5 lap dances from Domino at DejaVu.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1123523907958496812005-08-08T13:58:00.000-04:002005-08-08T13:58:00.000-04:00Yes, don't worry, it was sarcasm.

Obviou...that is sarcasm at the end of that, right? Obviously Gary is trying to say that he is the one everyone feeds off of. And he may be right. While I know he has competition, he is clearly the biggest asshole on the team. The leader is usually the one vibing off the most energy... unfortunately it doesn't matter what kind. Everyone can see that gary is teeming with negativity out of every pore. And since he is such a jerk, it's not surprise that he would be the one that opposing teams would be the most motivated to beat.<BR/><BR/>The tithe thing is funny. Possibly the writer and/or gary have no idea that this is specifically meaning ten percent. Plenty of people give more than that, in an income situation like gary's. Often not because they actually want to help, but because it gives them a tax break. Leave it to shef to brag on it. He probably actually thinks this makes him a good person.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998468496779667818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1123521914476441712005-08-08T13:25:00.000-04:002005-08-08T13:25:00.000-04:00Wow, it is, but I didn't know that.

So it's a weird sentence...But it does say he tithes a "sizable portion" of his $13M -- I'd think that's at least a few hundred G's, which translates as a lot to a church.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528300608952663063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1123521319302757122005-08-08T13:15:00.000-04:002005-08-08T13:15:00.000-04:00I have a question.

It states that "Sheffield tithes a sizable portion of his annual $13 million in earnings to his church."<BR/><BR/>Isn't the definition of a tithe 10% of your earnings. So wouldn't someone, by definition, either tithe or not tithe. How do you tithe a portion of you earnings?<BR/><BR/>If that is the case, then I could accurately claim that I tithe a portion of my salary to the american red cross since I did give $100 to the tsunami relief fund. Technically I tithed the first $1,000 of my earnings.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.com
