P.S. I was waiting for Rick to come on here and give a knock, Al. I thought you two guys burried the hatchet---or was that buried in each others back?

Thats true but in common usage insure means to protect from risk where as assure means to garner confidence.

We all look forward to another long post where you point out that I have an anger management problem, etc. Can't wait!

I don't know anymore. These days I think it is a substance abuse issue. I don't know if it is booze (you claim you don't imbibe, but so do all abusers) or you are an all-day toker, or if you're doing the Rush Limbaugh pain-killer addiction thing. But there is something going on with you... to be constantly on my back, as well as that of others... when no one has mentioned you in a thread... shows me something... and it's not pretty.

Rick, get clean. Take the first step.

Not likely. You wouldn't care enough to post. It's like looking for violence at a Grateful Dead show...

But you'd think about it a LONG time!

Good solution. I urge all of you who truly hate me (or what I post) to do the same. It makes sense. Why read postings that are only going to raise your BP?

Of course the better solution would be to persuade Sam to ban me from the venue. He's been approached on that before and maybe if you make a really good case you will be able to accomplish that this time.

I mean... it's what you right-wingers do... ban books, ban minorities from voting, ban women from terminating a pregnancy, ban condoms, ban rock and roll, ban anything and anyone you disagree with. (Of course when someone bans something that you are in favor of like prayer in schools, you go postal!)

I'm convinced that a lot of you shed a tear every day because you were born way to late to be part of Mao's Cultural Revolution. You right-wingers would have loved it. Art, literature, religion, politics, education, drama... nothing you (the Red Guards) were opposed to was allowed out in public (or even in private.)

Boy, did you guys miss your calling and a place in history that you can only dream about.

Al, I would ignore you but it's much more fun to get you to respond. You are so predictible.

I don't know. Rick seems to be the poster-child for predictability here. I think I could post five lines from the telephone book and Rick would make a nasty post.

Rick reminds me what LBJ once said about the Washington Post. Johnson said that if he took the presidential motorcade to the Potomac River, got out, and walked on the water to the other side, the headline in the Post the next morning would be: "LBJ Can't Swim!"

My advice is to finish junior college and then start your career in sales. You are going to get one chance to make a good first impression and often that will be via the written word.

I believe that if you can't write, you can't sell.

YMMV.

There's some guy named Bill, mentally retarded, sold real good, they made a movie about him. Plenty more examples in life, I'm sure, just don't hear about 'em.

What are the other Day 1 essentials that you have to have, to get started ?

-S

Air (free)
Water (mostly free)
Food (cheap can be .17 meal dry noodles)
Decent clothing, shoes for walk/talk
Somewhere to sleep at night (wife, girlfriend, friend, parents, shelter)

*an app (should be provided, else downloaded, printed, copied, faxed, or stolen)
*a black ink pen (cheap or accidentally "borrowed")

Fill out app. Sign. Submit.
Get (steal) another app.
Repeat.

OUTWORK everyone around you, DON'T hang out.

You'll know the rest when you get there. Replace what you "borrowed" with a case.
