when i came to america i only had 2k in my pocket. i rented a house in san francisco for 5k a month. it was the house used in the 'full house' exterior shots, and this was back in 1999 when the minimum wage was like 7.50. and you can trust me on that--i asked a guy who worked at safeway and he told me he made 7.50 and he didn't seem like the type to bullshit a brother.
i met this guy named pete at the gay bar, somewhere close, but i don't remember excactly where it was; it was within walking distance because i loved to walk back then, it tightened the quads and relaxed my asshole. he was still doing that whole leather and chains thing that was popular in the 80s--maybe you've seen 'cruising' with al pachinko or seen the music video to YMCA--and we had this great idea: what if you could make instant payments online?
i'd often have discreet hookups with 9"+ black bulls i met in the classified ads and feel cheap when i had to pay them in cash afterwards.
what if there was a way to pay upfront--but in cyberspace to abstract the entire experience?
but let's get back to pete. i'd often suck his dick and swallow his ENTIRE LOAD, and let me tell you it tasted like grandma's gravy on the best thanksgiving. after one of these meals we came up with the idea for paypal in our playful pillow talk. i told him how much i enjoyed his cock and he said to me 'i love my playpal,' and paypal was born, just like that, after we discussed the financials and the split for a few hours.
we hired a couple of asian nerds to code up paypal after we enslaved them in our basement (they were on VISAs and we threatened to report them).
we got all the money for this from our dads. but if you talk about this in media or wikipedia act like we worked minimum wage for a few to to fund it or just ignore these details. thanks.
