I went today for the Carlton, Cepeda and Madlock Auto's. Walked around the floor for literally 3 minutes and ran into Joe who asked me what I had picked up. If I seemed a little out of it, I definitely was - I went out in Hoboken last night and came to the show right from there and, well, let's just say I wasn't exactly feeling alert (insert "hangover" smiley).

Anyway, I'll be there tomorrow for Marichal and Howard and will be back to normal so I'll swing by all the FCB dealer booths and hopefully increase your weekend stacks.

Was there a lot of vintage at the show?

There was actually less than I thought. It's like a 60/40 split towards modern IMO. It's usually the other way around.

Messier = Keyzer Soze?

Messier's supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody ever believed he was real. Nobody ever knew him or saw anybody that ever worked directly for him. But to hear FCB tell it, anybody could have worked for Messier. You never knew; that was his power. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

One story the guys told me, the story I believe, was from his days in Turkey. There was a gang of Hungarians that wanted their own mob. They realized that to be in power, you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't. After a while, they come into power and then they come after Messier. He was small-time then, just running Bowman Chrome, they say. They come to his home in the afternoon, looking for his business. They find his wife and kids in the house and decide to wait for Messier. He comes home to find his wife ***** and children screaming. The Hungarians knew Messier was tough, not to be trifled with, so they let him know they meant business. They tell him they want his territory, all his business.

Messier looks over the faces of his family. Then he showed these men of will what will really was. He tells him he would rather see his family dead than live another day after this. He lets the last Hungarian go, waits until his wife and kids are in the ground, and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids. He kills their wives. He kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in, the stores they work in. He kills people that owe them money. And like that, he's gone. Underground. Nobody's ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'Rat on your pop and Messier will get you.' But no one ever really believes.

I once said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him."

Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Messier.
