  • Thanks for gift of Apropos of Nothing

    Thanks for the fun Apropos of Nothing discussions. Personally, I think Kringle Global Enterprises (KGE) is a hidden fourth credit reporting bureau and provider of background checks. Revenue is not reported because government customers prohibit it. Also expect that Deep Throat was a KGE employee; however, his leaks from the naughty list were directed by the "big man" himself.
