  • It's an outfit that sells roasted Italian coffees, pottery and all sorts of other yuppie foo-foo stuff. Personally, I think it's overrated. x;-)
  • Ah, you poor souls with no exposure to the wonderful, enriching world of designer coffee drinks... I think I should quit my job and open an espresso bar in Arab, Alabama with a gift shop featuring "Made in Oregon" products. x;-)
  • I actually DO have a coffee bar, bookstore and brewpub within a few blocks of my place. You forgot to mention, though, Cinderella that in Oregon, we also call lunch "lunch" and not "dinner." x;-) Thanks for the chuckle. I have to go polish my dre…
  • Those Yankee retirees have to have something to do, Mel, so they imported cow tipping. x;-)
  • >There ain't no such thing as "lunch". There's >only dinner and then there's supper. When I was going through boot camp in southern Texas this rule applied as well. Confused the heck out of me as to why I was having "dinner" at lunch time.…
  • Works for me. I believe it. Where were you last week when the women were freely beating the guys about the head and shoulders over the apple thing and the garden of Eden? Could have used this argument then. x;-)
  • Well, maybe the lion's share of the credit should go to England. After all, didn't France just put up a few workers, some bucks, and then they all took their mandatory six week vacation while the Brits kept working? x;-) I'm going to get myself in…
  • It's OK, HS. I've learned that New Yorkers can get pretty testy. x;-) Hey, have you folks ever settled the question of whether the Statue of Liberty is really in New York or New Jersey? (That ought to get some NJ/NY rivalry going). x;-)
  • Well, I noticed HS has posted another ending, two posts after Paul's. Wonder if Don will try to resurrect the story from the second ending. Kind of reminds me of the Monty Python movie where the workers are hauling out corpses of those deceased fr…
  • Of course, that dream device is about as old as the shot ringing out device, so I don't think we're plowing any new ground with this story. My next goal is to wait very patiently and try to plant the phrase "it was Col Mustard in the den with the p…
  • I just looked at the thread for the first time a moment ago. Everyone's storytelling skills are astounding and it's clear to me that before it reaches 100 posts Paul will sell the script to the Fox network and they will run it as a summer replaceme…
  • ...it goes with my bag and my shoes. Although impeccable fashion sense is a crummy reason to keep it around, considering all the trouble it could cause me. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and...
  • ...Donald Trump. Once I'm heading up the new division, I'll hire Col. Mustard to watch my back and not even The Donald will be able to get rid of me while I build my little empire on the backs of the downtrodden, minimum-wage employees I'll hire fr…
  • ...to a fate worse than death. Suddenly, a massive hand came from just out of camera range stage left and broke he perilous, inexorable slide toward the pond. Stunned, exhausted and decidedly stinky the saved souls looked up toward their benefacto…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-24-04 AT 11:03AM (CST)[/font][br][br]...the words choked off in her throat as suddenly, A SHOT RANG OUT! ... and she crumpled to the ground, folding like a cheap deck chair.
  • I have become addicted to Monster House (sort of a This Old House on steroids, I think) and Mythbusters - two guys who go around trying to prove or disprove urban legends. I'd probably give up cable if it weren't for my Discovery Channel. x:-)
  • HA! I KNEW IT! I'm NOT Ray's twin - Slogan is! x;-)
  • Sort of like the "FBI Undercover Agent" t-shirt, huh? x;-)
  • See how he treats people, HS? Next thing you know he'll be trying to curry favor by offering to fax you chocolate. x;-)
  • Wow. I've never seen a thread take a left turn just out of the starting blocks like this - only two posts and we go from Southern engineers to car talk. x;-)
  • You guys ought to know by now that's my modus operandi - come in, stir the pot, blow outta town for a couple days... x;-)
  • Don't buy it, rad. He's already stiffed a bunch of women out here by not faxing them chocolate when he said he would. x;-)
  • Well yeah, I noticed, Ray. But I've been out of town for a couple days and didn't get an opportunity to get slapped around by these women on the subject, so I figured I had to toss in my comments.
  • Oh, none taken. I maintain, however, that since it's physically impossible to understand women that the most logical thing to do is blame them for something they perceive to be a man's fault. x;-)
  • ....aaaand... your point would be... ? x;-)
  • What a cool post. It's Men vs. Women here on the ultimate reality show, HR Har-de-Har. Personally, having just completed an investigation in which all the principals I talked to were women, I am judiciously reserving any comment one way or the oth…
  • HRQ, your kids just think of the VCR as a Hot Wheels garage, that's all. x;-) Really cool tip for guys: Your bathroom mirror will not fog if you apply shaving cream to it (the regular kind of shaving foam - not the gel type). Rub it in until it d…
  • Guess if Mel ever called me I'd have to change the greeting on my voice mail - wouldn't want to upset her. x;-)
  • You have to suspend your disbelief and broaden your imagination a little.
  • Of all the scintillating, fascinating things there are to remember about me and my career, you remember the fact that I owned a PACER???!!!
