PLFKING

Jess ! You misspelled "volume" ! (....airhead....) Don

I'll be there, if I REALLY can show Lisa some 'Southern lovin'. If I can't, then I'll just stay here, and send good vibes to y'all.

"Ladies and Gentlemen -- Clay Fowler......giving the phrase 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass' an entirely new and disgusting meaning."

Bwhahahahahahaha. "He SCORES !!" There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a 44-year-old man possessing a large collection of pop-up books. Better than your collection of "Farm Animal Monthly" magazines with all the pages stuck together. Don

When exactly IS your funeral ? I'd love to be there.....do I need to R.S.V.P., or just show up, or what ? (...one more OSU fan eliminated....) Don

1) Be prepared to discuss EVERYTHING you did in the job you were hired to do, and EVERYTHING that you do in your current job. When you get into a pressure situation such as a review, you will tend to focus on the more important aspects of the job, but as a manager I know that the little things are just as important to keep things flowing on a daily basis. 2) Got a friend in middle-management ? Buy him lunch in return for giving you a mock-review....it may help identify which subjects you're most nervous discussing, plus may help you get a good rythm going....there's a rythm to every review OR interview, whether it's good OR bad. Bring light-hearted is not necessarily a bad thing either, if you pick your spots. You should know this person at least somewhat....it's not like a job interview where you're going in cold. If your manager has a sense of humor, use a little of yours -- you know you have a great one. The key here is picking your spots....you still want him to know you're serious, but a little humor can be huge in defusing negative feelings. 3) Take your "Kudos" file with you. i alweys encouraged it of my reports, because managers forget things about individuals when they're responsible for large departments. Plus, kudos from other department heads will let your manager know how highly others think of you, and may even open his eyes to some accomplishments he didn't know you had achieved. 4) Lose the "Jessicakes".

I always thought Remi's first action as a Greenie would have been to obliterate your a**......I can't believe he isn't abusing his power.

The answer is "Jessicakes" -- she fits all of the criteria you've listed above (except for the symmetrical name -- but her nickname could easily be "asshole"....and an asshole would be considered symmetrical, so that fits too). Luv ya Jess ! Don

See ? My lawnmower answer wasn't so far off after all. Don

I don't have any more money to send you. Don

That's me.....funny, but stupid.

A riding lawnmower ? Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Well, I'VE always wanted to see someone drag a toe through the lip of Niagra Falls.....how good are your swooping skills ?

Tell me about it. Gone all week, and now there's 418 threads and 7988 posts to go through....and that's just TALKBACK ! I can remember a day when 7988 posts would have comprised a whole year's worth of action. What a bunch of whores y'all are..... Don

But how is the smell Around 13,000 feet ? I guess I'll find out. Don

From what I've been told You haven't missed anything -- Lots of DZs though. Don

I wonder if you could do the same to Seth ? I'm sure he'd feel right at home... Don

Business trip for me All next week in New Jersey. May sneak some jumps Fri.

MIB, indeed. You definitely look like a Secret Service agent. Glad it went well !

Or....there's more than one use for a hot fork. Don

Amen to that....always has been, always will be. Bloody hell !

Linda Ronstadt. If you've ever seen that poster of her in her tan jeans, you'll know why.

I used to play 2-3 times a week before I started jumping.....now it's down to once a week, but i still love it. Usually shoot in the low-to mid-80s. It just doesn't give me the adrenaline rush like jumping does.

"Beautiful Girls" by Van Halen -- at full volume. For some reason, that starts my day off just right. Don

It's all fun and games until the flying feces or projectile vomiting puts an eye out. Don
