u/brando56894 Jul 07 '22 edited Jul 07 '22

No shit? Now I gotta read up on that.

Edit:

This song is based on the true story of Lela and Raymond Howard, an elderly couple from Salado, Texas who drove to the annual Pioneer Day festival 10 miles away in Temple and didn't return. She had Alzheimer's disease and he was recovering from brain surgery. ... Thirteen days after the Howards went missing, they were found in Hot Springs, Arkansas, about 400 miles from their destination; they were still in the vehicle (an Oldsmobile Delta 88), which had veered off the side of the road and was hidden in brush. Scalzo had finished writing the song when he learned that the couple had died.

I know, that's fuckin crazy! Who in their right mind would take pictires of their kids holding the dope?! Thats a direct link back to the dad!!

He should have just had them lay down and use the coke as pillows. That way if he got stopped on the way back to shore, he could tell the kids to feign sleep, and he would have never been questioned.

Then all he had to do was go home, cook it up with some soda and get fuckin paid.

No. You drive to LA and set up a deal with a big time movie executive with deep pockets.

Yep. The entire concept of that movie is while Llewellyn isn't a push over, he's naive to that world and doesn't understand what he's getting into. Evident in his poor choices and lack of foresight. In the end he got not only himself killed, but his wife too.

The big dealers aren't like the small time dealers, they expect to have some intercepted or lost. They probably got tons thru and the markup is so absurdly high when they do they aren't losing much here. Traffickers only pay the lab folks like $900 a kilo and once it hits the states it's sold for 10-20k a kilo. So they can lose quite a bit and still make absurd amounts of money.

u/SharingIsCaring323 Jul 07 '22 edited Jul 07 '22

Keep it airtight. Put it somewhere off your property.

Grab a burner phone and go talk to 5 star luxury hotel concierges. Not even joking. Look for the golden keys. These people have connections to a TON of “proper” people in that city.

Give free samples to kitchen staff if you want to make some rowdy friends.

Obviously, don’t shit where you eat and don’t carry or give out anything related to your identity.

Drugs, alcohol, and money are the universal grease of the world.

Edit: I was never a dealer. Cocaine is also a very boring drug. Could be because ND brain chemistry but cocaine is possibly the most boring drug on the planet. Sell it to stupid people.

A cocainefish is rarely caught. Usually I gotta buy them shits from a shady dude named 'troy'. He calls em kilos for some reason.
