i get these jokes from friends all over the world - I do not intend to offend - if I do, I am sorry and will try to be more careful.

Good - I try to be friendly, easy-going, and a little off the wall here and try not to make too many people upset.

962- thanks! If you scroll back a few pagesI think DamlMissNamm did make a reference to you... you weren't mistaken!! :-)

Happy Anniversary to Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby(?) for NEARLY blowing the Houses of Parliament up 399 years ago!! I think I have the year right, not 100% sure after a couple of glasses of wine!!

Zinc: Happy 500! Keep those jokes coming but it would be nice to erase the joke about the african kid because its sad to see a baby who doesnt have the previledges we grew up with. That could offend some people :)

do the stu: always great to see you come back with such force. As 962 pointed out, you take things very literally. Not once, but on many occasions you have done so. Its ok, but I dont think you can digest sarcasm. As for my posts being insensitive and intolerant, where the hell was your post to DammMissNamm when he popped up and started almost teasing that Bush won. I guess thats not insensitive and intolerant. I dont expect you to tell anything to DMN simply because I do not expect you to be telling me what to type. If you dont like my posts, kindly skip it unless its something thats very very offensive. When Suppadave talked about pissing on the Koran, you lips were shut. Isnt that pretty intolerant for some people? huh? I know you belong to the extreme right wing even if you disagree. You have made it clear several times. I know you have a grudge on me, but I'm not mad. Just wondering why you love picking on 962 and me everytime.

962: Thanks man! I've got your back too. Nepal is a good country. Its got its shitty parts and its gorgerous parts. The himalayas are incredible. Its just the most beautiful thing in the middle of all this chaos. I want to settle down in a tropical island. That will be my dream. Its so relaxing and away from all this shit facing us.

Michelle: The country I like the most is of course the US. Its my home and has many wonderful people. Outside the US, Amsterdam for all the obvious reasons!

Alexandre: Thanks man. The election result was not about "I win" but about everyone winning. It wasnt a soccer game. I dont believe that our country is going in the right direction and I hope President Bush becomes a little more responsible with his decisions.

Clarky: Ty Oliver is, as you said, a very tidy guitarist. He's got great ideas and his recording is top of the line. But if you listen to Lost in Thought, there are some parts in the lead where I believe he's following his influences too much. The intro to the lead is great, but from there he needs to be Ty not Vai! I think he is qualified to create some very unique leads. He posts here sometimes under the nick Fretslayer. I wish he posted more often.

Song of the day: The Darkness - Love is only a feeling

Cuth bert No I anm definately not a veg-head. I'm just a softy that likes to get his meet at the store. I'd be more than happy to help you devour an elk (my favorite) I just couldn't pull the trigger. I just get into arguments with people that say they hunt for the sport yet don't give the animal a chance. To me the definition of sport is that there is an eveness of the playing field. That is why I said if you (not you personally) are real bad ass you would hunt elk or moose ... with a knife. Makes it a bit more fair.

Zoning was originally put for health reasons. The idea of factories next to a residential area was not good. However, the original planners went too far. Planning now is trying to correct some of these issues. The down side is that planning reactive. So we won't know if the changes we have made are working for many years. Zoning, at least in Oregon, is not arbitrary at all. Of couse we also have some of the strictist land use laws in the country. People complain about Urban Sprawl and long waits in traffic. This is the effect of weak land use laws. Ther eis also the protection of our farm land that comes into play. But we can discuss that later.

hoiguy79 The webmaster does a great job with this site and from wha I can gather is a pretty nice guy. With pics it is a better use of his time to load a bunch at once. So be patient. Plus calling someone names that you want to do you a favor is not the best method to get things done. We don't pay him for his service so we don't have the right to put him on our schedule. I was also in Oaxaca last week. What was that smell? : )

Understanding Marketing

You see a fabulous girl/guy at a party. You approach them and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Direct Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a fabulous girl/guy. You have one of your friends approach them, point at you and say, "She's/He's fantastic in bed."

That's Advertising.

You see a fabulous girl/guy at a party. You approach them to get their telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Telemarketing.

You're at a party and see a fabulous girl/guy. You get up, straighten your clothes, walk up and pour them a drink. You open the door, pick up their bag after it drops, offer them a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a fabulous girl/guy. They walk up to you and say, "I hear you're fantastic in bed."

Off to the Dominican Republic for a week of R&R. After that, a lot more guitar playing in my future... My company (or at least the American parent company) is folding up shop and packaging off the veterans here in Toronto LOL.. Oh well, all for the best, in the last coupla years the company was not successful in landing any major projects commensurate with my management skills (self-pat on the back)...

I'll be ok (sniffles!!!) Seriously, I was due for a change anyway!! Now I can get my music database up to date !! Approximately 4000 pieces, CD's, DVD's and LP's plus a load of guitar instructional videos... That'll take me a day or two when I get back from down south...

NJ Beast........happy birthday bro' !!!

Zinc Master...no need to apologize, I was just being a smart-ass ;) Laughter is always the best medicine....
