There hasn't been a good FLAME-WAR here in some time I'd bet

[DanC]

So - Who's up for a good fight?

Just kidding....
Remembering the days when we went at each other like some members here would NOT BELIEVE.

Not that I miss it - but I made some great friends that way.

Hey Bob... YOU BITE!

 

[Reel]

what a stupid thread! What kind of moron would think of this?

(am I doing a good job?)

 

[RaySun2Be]

:Q

I remember those days. Sometimes it seemed there were more flames than a California brush fire. :Q

 

[osmo]

DanC-

You rang? :Q

osmo.

 

[DanC]

Heheheh.... OSMO!

How are you Bud? I figured I'd reel you in with that one.

 

[Wolfie]

I still think DanC and Russ was tring to take over the team. Thinking like the Borg. You will NOT assimilate these fine people.



And there is another OSMO sighting!

[JonB]

I resent this thread. Do you think this was funny??

You can't call me that and get away with it. You'll be hearing from my lawyers!!!!!


oh, wait, that was something else.

sorry for the confusion.

 

[Poof]

LOL JonB!

So here's a DanC sighting! (as if I'm here that much either...lol).

So how the hell are you doing?????? Most importantly, how are the trout???? :Q

 

[DanC]

Poof!!!!!

HUG!

Sorry - I couldn't resist.

edit:
Sorry - the trout are dead.

Been busy being an unemployed former "hotshot" who's learned a thing or two about humility.

Dan - you are a very resourceful guy. And a tough one too. I know you will succeed. Sometimes it takes awhile and that's the toughest part. I wish you all the luck in the world.

 

[DanC]

Thanks Poof.

Not feeling real "tough" right now. The unemployment rate here in I.T. probably exceeds 10%

I'm finding out what "Age discrimination" means... firsthand.

 

[Poof]

Oh yeah.... Right when a person is at their peak of knowledge and maturity. :|

I really do hope this downturn is brief. I think the industry is not done growing. Just need some sort of trigger to get it going again. Hope this is VERY temporary for you.

 

[SWScorch]

I havent been here that long, so I am out of the loop in all this... whats this I hear about trout? you a fisherman, or raise trout, ot what? Either way, sorry to hear they died... poor fishies

Maybe you can move your official place of residence to Mars, where years have more days in them "Well, yes, as a matter of fact I am only 20 years old. Long story behind that..."

I'm still at half-employed status myself, but I like my job and that's a real blessing (not to mention getting away from constant exposure to solvents). If I see any employment opportunities arising in our IT area I'll let you know. LCSNW employment page

 

[DanC]

SWScorch,

A tad bit before your time, kind friend. I used to have a trout pond. I'll see if I can dig up a URL... had a whole site dedicated to it.

It became something of a point of humor around here - what with people being "slapped with a trout" - and all.

Even the Dutch Power Cows knew of my 'trout connection' heheh. It was back in the "old days"...

edit:

Hey Tom... sorry - didn't mean to ignore you. Hey - at this point I'd take "half" employment.

 

[Poof]

And it was a gorgeous pond too I might add.

I just have my little half-barrel with 2 Comets in it, but one would be surprised how relaxing it is to raise the fish... Almost lost those 2 the week I got them (almost 7 years ago). They decided to jump out and one of them was about 2ft from the edge of an 18-story drop! :Q

 

[DanC]

Some of the links appear to be broken on the pictures... but here ya go.

Hey Evadman,

You bite, you're lame - and I'm better than you because my hair is grey.

:Q

 

[Poof]

Ahhh... the pics.

ROFLMAO Evadman! I need to save that.

And Dan - you ain't gonna "Wash that gray right out of your hair?" hee hee Luckily I only have a few lost in the back somewhere... lol

 

[DanC]

Poof,

Let me say this... I've considered trying "Just for Men" - but I think Rogaine is more appropriate at the present time.... :Q

 

[Poof]

LOL. You got that sexy look then...
