Apparently sports stars and marginal celebrities aren't only offering phone conversations for a nominal fee--Thuzio is an online service that connects fans to their heroes for a variety of activities, including, in Rich Franklin's case, a 2-hour lunch or dinner at the restaurant of your choosing in the general Cincinnati area for $1,000. Franklin also offers private training lessons for $600, group lessons for $3,000, and personal appearances for $2,000. Franklin is also open to other "custom" requests, no homo?, prices to be negotiated. http://www.thuzio.com/rich-franklin.html# Not into MMA? How about $6,250 for an hour of Larry Holmes' incomprehensible mumbling? Wolf down a meal with competitive eating champion Kobayashi for just $1,500. Listen to all of Rick Barry's black jokes during a round of golf for $2,500. Always wanted to have Dante Culpepper speak at your wedding for just $2,000? These stars are waiting to get paid.
