I like the Mauschwitz moniker, very clever  |
Totally ! When I first moved to LA 13 years ago I roomed with this adorable grip who worked for Mauschwitz. They hired him every Monday and laid him off every Thursday to avoid paying his healthcare benefits. When I saw that I was convinced the entire country was going down the ****ter.
