Marvin really knows how to impress the ladies. So, when  swimsuit model Kaleigh Brooke drops by the show, what do you think he would feed her? Caviar? Lobster?  No, not Marvin. He knows what swimsuit models really like. Pig Feet. Yes, that’s right. Pig Feet.  While these models are used to guys falling all over themselves around them, Marvin takes another approach and treats her like a family member. Will she eat the pig feet?

If you missed The M-A-R-V-I-N Show last week, then you missed Daffy Duck’s revenge as Marvin managed to give himself 3rd degree burns.  While  he cooked up Duck Cordon Bleu, he did not miss a beat with his verbal assault on the camera.   Marvin managed to juggle the pan of hot grease without losing the duck, pulling off a save that would make the Harlem Globetrotters proud. It was painful to watch, especially the slow motion instant replay.  All the show needed was maybe Marv Albert & Howard Cosell doing a play by play as the grease splashed across his hand. I can almost hear Marv Albert explaining how it was a beautiful save and a moment that will earn him an honorable mention in the history books.

I Asked Marvin for the menu this week: “Steak Quesadillas” What? Are they deep fried steak quesadillas? No grease? Don’t worry. I’m sure Marvin will keep us all entertained while he allows his hand to recover. He has not let us down yet. I’m sure this week will not be an exception.

What is the best deal in real estate? If you are handy with a screwdriver and can  use a hammer, you may want to look at a fixer upper. Also known as distressed properties, fixer uppers sometimes only need a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint.  When looking at distressed properties, it is best to have a professional home inspection so that you will know if the needs of the distressed property are more than cosmetic.  If you think a Fixer Upper might work in your near future, take a look at what is available. Call Carolina Quest Realty at 843-455-8671  and ask Brian Jordan for assistance.
