    He told me to fix your typo :-D

    He's been in rare form this week, I think he's personally gunning to thin out the ranks. You know who he's targeting (MM), I think he's going to make him "submit a sample" and send him out the door. ;)

    Pet rock, from MG thread 156596 :-D

    What you need is a weather rock

    If rock is wet, it is raining.
    If rock is green, it rained a while ago.
    If rock is white, it is snowing.
    If rock is shaking, there is an earthquake.
    If rock is dry, the weather is fair.
    If rock is swinging, it's windy.
    If rock is warm, the sun is out.
    If rock is not visible, it's dark outside.
    If rock is under water, there is a flood.
    If rock is gone, there is a tornado (Run!!)

    It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

    This quote has gotten me through alot.

    That got me thinking of some of my favorite rap quotes

    Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight, Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight, Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try, Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die? someone tell me why” -Tupac

    since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we r*pe our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one” -Tupac

    we wouldn't ask why a rose that grew from the concrete for having damaged petals, in turn, we would all celebrate its tenacity, we would all love its will to reach the sun, well, we are the roses, this is the concrete and these are my damaged petals, dont ask me why, thank god, and ask me how” -Tupac

    You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'.

    Well you will have to wheel yourself quickly.

    Gets you aways from commiting to an idea.

    I had a little chuckle to myself when i saw your reply Karen (who works for the same employer as you) tells me of some of the blunders she has seen but Teflon man (the boss) always manages to come away looking clean.
