1848

Chewing Wax:
It would be an excellent benchmark test.

Decoy:
They do let them take them home at night. There was an article in the paper apparently. I'm told that since the airbases are so busy, they let the guys fly home to visit their families if they have an airport near that can handle the plane.

What do you want that for, kid?:

(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:49:05 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Looks like a little Buscaglia child.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:51:20 pm)

Decoy:
Heh heh.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:52:49 pm)

Decoy:
Those were the days:

(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:53:18 pm)

Decoy:
"... F-18 Hornet, which happened to be parked at the airport. Its pilot, Marine Capt. Clay "Jungle" Berardi, a Greece native who attended McQuaid Jesuit High School, was allowed to bring the plane home while visiting his family. [for Thanksgiving]"

Chewing Wax:
These are the days. Think how sweet victory will feel. By the end of that run people were jaded. They didn't even sell out playoff games. Fuckers. Bandwagon jumping cock suckers. How I hate them.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:56:15 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Maybe you can get Jungle to give you a ride.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:56:52 pm)

Decoy:
Never mind that, where do I get a VanPelt game jersey?
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:57:35 pm)

Captain Clay:

Sure I'll give him a ride. Hop in and strap yourself in good. You might want to throw-up first.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:58:51 pm)

Decoy:
I wanted to call the radio this morning and explain that it was good to loose, don't you want the young players to develop a seething hatred for Miami? This is a good lesson and it sets the seed for sweet victory when they come of age.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:59:11 pm)

Decoy:
lose.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 12:59:54 pm)

Chewing Wax:
The crowd was old fashioned crazy loud. The rookies probably never experienced anything like it. They should have felt the hatred for Miami pouring down in deafening waves upon them.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:00:27 pm)

Decoy:
That, my friend, is how we teach them to hate. Its a beautiful thing.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:01:03 pm)

Queenie:
Christmas is cancelled. The client who was going to make our season merry has decided to get two more bids from other people. There are no words to express my despair.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:04:42 pm)

Chewing Wax:
For a second I thought Decoy had posted that last message. But now it makes more sense. Sorry to hear that Queenie. Who knows, maybe you'll still win the job.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:07:24 pm)

Queenie:
Most likely. They're probably going to get bids from big companies that will be a zillion times higher than ours and they'll come running back. But will it happen in time?!?
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:10:11 pm)

Queenie:
Every year the same old thing.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:10:29 pm)

Decoy:
Don't be too cheap, we are never the lowest bidder and we get just about everything we bid on. They need to see the value in the markup. Merry X-Mas. I almost never go with the lowest bid, something about it that always makes me suspicious.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:18:30 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Like they'll suck and never finish on time. We're expensive but we're good. You get what you pay for.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:23:14 pm)

(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:23:36 pm)

Decoy:
I bet you Steve and Rick learned that a long time ago.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:24:07 pm)

Decoy:
Don't forget the part about "we won't let you go over budget unless you tell us to." They love that.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:25:18 pm)

Queenie:
We've already contracted a lot of work from them so they know they'll get good work from us. I think they just had a little sticker shock with this latest upgrade. But I know for a fact that we're waaaaaay cheaper than any "real" design firm out there so I think they'll come back to us. But godammit I really wanted it before christmas!!!
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:27:06 pm)

Queenie:
What I meant was "they've already contracted a lot of work from us"
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:27:24 pm)

There's always the tobacco to fall back on.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:28:52 pm)

Decoy:
That's different. Well, good luck with that.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:28:59 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Yeh. Good luck with that.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:35:09 pm)

Queenie:
No tobaccy crop in the winter.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:38:56 pm)

Chewing Wax:
You can raise marmots for the pelts. That's a good winter time money crop.
(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:40:12 pm)

(Mon Nov 26, 2001 - 1:42:07 pm)

Decoy:
My neighbor used to trap for muskrats in the winter. $6 per pelt!
