Network/inside connection, Gary. I never really wanted to believe that, but it's true. At least for me in my last two jobs over the last 14 years.

We'll be "keeping an eye on you" there, Mikester...

Interesting postulate. But maybe the aliens haven't seen our warp signature yet. Once they do, I can see your position. We need to be assimilated. Or be extincted.

:lmao::lmao: Darla is precious! "All my dreams are dead."

You *know* you're living vicariously thru me on that one, don't you?

:sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

Or pin it on your chest. *tap* "Picard to Bug! WTF is my Earl Grey?"

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeee-it! Double sheeeeeeeeeeeeee-it!!!1

"I luv animals. They taste great!" "Earth first! we'll strip mine all the other planets later "

I sure would. I have not forgotten your generosity, as much as it may seem that I have. Can that stuff be shipped in the mail, or do you prefer a delivery service with that personal touch?

I agree, Steve, Ms. Jones attempted to maintain at least some modicum of decency by fessing up, but do you think it might have been because she saw the posse closing in? If you're gonna get busted, would it not "look better" to sing first, instead of continued steadfast denial and then be proven to be a liar (which seems to be the tack MLB players are taking)?

Oh, now that's nice... havta remember that one.

My pair before my Rambo 2's looked an awful lot like what you've pictured there. They were Camp Ice Invaders (basically Lowe Foot Fangs without that stupid big red sole plate). Same thing happened to my buckles. Got too damned cold and they just exploded into pieces. Glad we could help you out.

OK, Jason, here's the deal... The "no-name" carrier is made by Tough Traveler out of Schenectady, NY. This is a pack that, had it not been given to us, I never would have considered (no name recognition). However, it rocked. Both of our kids found it comfortable to ride in, it balances on the parent's back nicely, has ample storage capacity for diapers, wipes, bottles, clothes, etc., plus a little bit of your own shite. I fashioned a sort of stirrup set-up for my "vertically-challenged" daughter rather easily, although my long-legged son found it easy enough to use the frame as "morocycle footpegs" by hooking his heels to the inside and duck-pointing his feet outwards. It has well-padded shoulder straps, a foam-inside-mesh backpad with a central aluminum stay, and a really comfy waistbelt. The suspension system sort of seems to have been modeled after the Lowe Alpine style of system. In short, the whole family enjoyed trips when we took it out. I can't find a model name on it, but it sure as hell looks a lot like the Stallion. Ours looks exactly like the one that the snow-shoveling woman is wearing in the Stallion linky. The colors and some features have changed (ours is a teal color, without the open mesh pocket nor reflector strip ). Like I said, at ~$200/pop, I never would have looked at this thing. But friends whose kids had outgrown it bequeathed it to us, in the sure knowledge that we'd put it to good use. We have, and will continue to do so until Elaina gets too big (Nicholas doesn't need one anymore). Then when we got Elaina, we bought a Kelty Kids "Tour" model so we would have two carriers. Not such a good purchase. No storage capacity whatsoever, she hated sitting in it, and we hated the ride. In short, it was always a painful parental experience to try to take the two of them out together, and we can't even bring ourselves to take the Kelty out again. I wouldn't even give it away to anyone I knew or would hope to remain friends with. It's that bad. HTH.

Me neither. I think that getting trampled counts against you. Shows a distinct lack of agility and rapid advance planning in high-stress situations.

I never knew Dan Lepeska, but I remember well when he premiered on this board. What a class act, that guy. I really hope you catch up with him. Same guy, maybe?? (requires sign-up)

Mikester, I especially like your autosig... A Buddhist walks up to a hot dog cart and says, “Make me one with everything”. That's rich!

Was with a girl that could do that, properly motivated of course. Only once, though. Man, she was awesome. Turned my face into a freakin' high-velocity glazed doughnut!

They asked me what I liked. I'm just sayin'...

Been there, done that. Goes back to that "sharing" comment I made upthread... sexually deviant

This oughta help...

got it... Here's another: playing catch

Does the "OI" refer to "objects inserted", by chance?

That's a good one! Saw it abbreviated "ATM" somewhere. Now every time I go to the cash machine, that's all I can think about.

See people? Now we're gittin' up to speed. Just took a little nudge in the right direction...
