6 Weeks for my wife to recover from a C-Section / 1 Really cute baby : 0 : 0 Justin

Admitting you have the problem is the first step on the road to recovery. Justin

I have a Tom James suit. My boss decided to give a "clothing bonus" and the guys all got suits. (Not to be left out, the women got gift certificates to Nordstrom.) Honestly, I don't think I would spend the money to buy that kind of suit myself. I don't think the quality is substantially better than a suit from someplace like Land's End, if it is better at all. Same with the shirts. In my opinion, it is all about prestige and convenience, rather than value. Having a "personal clothier" come to your office and deal with everything is nice. But if you aren't trying to impress anyone, you can get much more reasonable prices elsewhere. When I got this job, I got familiar with the Land's End website. I'm not trying to plug them or anything, but it is super convenient. Once I had my shirt and trouser measurements, I could order whatever I wanted online, hemmed exactly. No, I didn't get the cute clothier that Chromey had, but my stuff cost about 1/3 as much, and I doubt he hooked up with her anyway.

Andy, At the top of his post, Scratch did say "...don't know how true..." so clearly he had his own doubts about the accuracy. Just pointing it out. I think he put it up for humor value, regardless of truthfulness.

You let me borrow the Camaro, because your new, upgraded jeep put it to shame. The jeep has velcro all over the outside and a winch for the stubborn ones.... Justin

I am probably wearing sleep-drool as I doze off with my head on my desk.

Clay, Your man-tits are so big, it is a miracle that you can work on a car. Oh. I guess that is why you bought a jeep, for the extra clearance.... Drags a keg of Guinness over to ringside and puts a 5-spot on Chromey. Justin

That was very stream of consciousness. Care to give us the translated version?

Yes. Justin

To bring up a silly point, I don't see how there can be much spoilage no matter what we say in this thread. Didn't Lucas pretty much guarantee that by going 4,5,6 THEN 1,2,3? Come on now! Like we think Yoda or Obi Wan will die. Not to mention, the Star Wars movies have basically sucked starting at Return of the Jedi. The ewoks spelled doom. What the hell was he thinking? I let myself get dragged to Phantom Menace and was severely dissapointed. Sadly, it seems like Lucas might be out of creativity regarding this series. I'll probably get flamed by the legions of Star Wars faithful, but I see the whole series as a long downhill slide after the first two. It isn't about art, or the story, or Jungian archtype characters. It is about the money and merchandising possibilities. Instead of buying into Lucas' "vision" by standing in line for tickets, buying paraphenalia and going to watch this at a digital movie theater, I think I'll wait for it to be shown on the cheesy basic-cable stations after reruns of Gilligan's Island or something worthwhile.

Like your first 0 in your weekend numbers? Justin

FallRate, I live right outside Washington, DC, and I can't get DSL. Still too far from the stupid substation. I've been getting ads and offers in the mail for several years, and they always fall apart when I say okay. "Well, we thought you were in our service range, but you're actually not." Bastards don't know asses from elbows. When I can get your service, mail me, but until then, leave me the hell alone. High-speed teasing bastards! At least I have a T-1 at work so I get my net fix during the day. I rarely ever surf at home any more. Justin

It would only take like $5 a pop from a few of us to buy Kevin a webcam. Justin PS If the windows are that big, the buildings that close and the blinds not pulled shut, I kinda figure she has the exhibitionist thing going on.

That is true to a point. But if a woman rolls over on you and you suffocate to death, you know you went too far. Justin

Generally, I don't tip housecleaning staff. I see little reason to do so. My average hotel stay goes sort of like this: Drop luggage bag on floor. Sleep. Wake up. Shower. Pack bag back up. Leave. Other than the fact that I slept on the bed and used one towel, basically nothing changes during my stay. I barely change anything in the room, much less trash it. There is no garbage to take out. No mess to clean up. They have to change linens anyway, and that doesn't take them long. I guess I see that minimal level of housekeeping as something I've already paid for in the room rate. If I threw a wild party in a hotel room, I'd leave a substantial amount, but I never do. Since I see hotels as such a functional service and simply a place to crash for the night, I also usually pick cheap ones. As long as there aren't major bugs crawling around or mattress springs poking out, I don't much care. If I'm forced to stay at a pricey place for a wedding or something, they had better not try to pull crap on me. When I was unloading stuff from car one time, the porter snagged my bags and loaded them on his cart. I told him I could handle it myself. He was insistent that they did it for all their customers and it was customary to tip him for it. Hell with that. If I ask for help, I'll tip for it. When I told him again that I wasn't interested, he tried to launch into great detail about how that was how he made his living. I really didn't care. I just took the cart with my stuff on it and rolled it on up to my room myself. God, I was annoyed. Like $180/night wasn't bad enough, I had to deal with moneygrubbing staff. Justin

Damned full-face helmets! Yet another reason that Pro-Tecs rule. Justin

Merrick, Here is a lesson for you.... You can't show off a custom paint job with flames by photographing it on a comforter with flowers. It just doesn't work. Justin PS The exception would be if the helmet with flames were being worn by an otherwise naked woman lying on the flower comforter. That would work.

Skydiving goals.... Get up to a 1 jump/100 post ratio. Sadly, I'm nowhere close. Keep up my record of never landing off near sheep/Skreamer/Clay.

6 diapers changed : 0 : 0 Justin

I think he'll have that position for quite awhile, Sunshine. And don't ask him about his other whoring positions. Sadly, I'm sure he would tell you. Justin

The bitch of it is that the pre-op nurse probably gave him beans for his meal the night before..... Justin

I'm with the Remster. I'm a jet snob in denial. While I will jump anything I need to in order to get on a load, my preferences of the things I've jumped (which is a short list): C-141 Starlifter C-130 Hercules DC-3 Twin Otter Skyvan King Air Justin PS I like hop n pops, but I've actually never jumped from a little Cessna. Some day....

Right up there with swearing to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me god. Justin

Dave, You made that into 8 pages? Were you using like 2 inch margins and 20 point fonts?

It is unbecoming of the office. But then again, sadly, he has proved his daytime television qualifications. Justin
