Where's the Silhouette? Just joking! If you're happy, I'm happy...but I do miss that 1976 Grand Le Mans and the lady with the goofy scarf in the ad! I'm so low-tech, I can't change my sig unless I get help from Z-28 from Long Island. I'll have to learn Photoshop one of these days.

ser gut ... as long as it isn't Limburger (sp)...I don't get it...but it's making me hungry

razor, if you want to stay on my good side, you won't put together phrases like "blu and bob"....

I hate this condition but I run into it a lot, juggling a full time job and taking 2 tough classes at night. Usually, one of the two parts of my life slides a little bit and then I play catch up. I can pull a "marathon" and get it done, usually with decent results. The problem is that I almost always get sick right after making a big deadline or the end of the semester as all of the pressure lifts all at once.

Awesome! Is that animal (coyote, dog, whatever) yelping as it defecates?

Dog is way cuter than the car. That was a very vanilla Buick....I'm surprised they sold like hot cakes.

Every month at our firmwide meetings, we have a quiz or a contest. Well, in September, they had a "building name and architect" quiz for buildings across the world...I won with 46 out of 50 correct. The executive assistant to the Pres hands me a pouch. It had an IPOD Nano. People go: "ooooh" but I don't know what to do with it. I'm going to Montreal on Saturday. I want to put songs I have on my computer plus some selected songs from CDs. Is it easy to do? How does one do it at their computer at work? Can I listen to these songs from a rental car? Please help me out since I have always been a "late adopter" of technological innovation (as if this wasn't already obvious )

Ditto. Have a great birthday, bud.

Arizona's are ok...it used to be that burgundy/white made AZ and MO look an awful lot alike.The Ski Utah ones were simple...the Monument Rock ones are too much.

People get bent out of shape when the plates only show a segment of what the state is about. In the case of Michigan, the bridge at Mackinac (sp) which is so far removed from the population centers might bring on that reaction, though indeed a beautiful area. I think that the new one has a little bit too much going on, or it could have been composed differently. A lot of the new plate designs just aren't that good IMHO.

Oh, right, I agree, and I've never been called a "metro," though I think it is a funny word. I probably think it's the neat writing thing that contrasts with how messy I keep my place, how messy I keep my office, my coupon cutting for a haircut (and anywhere else I can save a buck)and the fact that people I work with have told me I ought to dress better to the office (OUCH)...I have the suit/tie wardrobe and it is conservative and very nice, I just think it's misplaced in architecture so I go casual (Costco has the Polo jeans for $21.99 or some Eddie Bauer slacks, an ok shirt and some loafers...no tie). Have always wanted to see the Hamptons...there is a mystique to them to those of us on "the Coast" who have heard about them...I did drive my Cutlass Supreme with a CA plate out the L.I.E. quite far once, but I think I would have known it if I was in the Hamptons!

Oh, you're a clever one. My response to thread: double entendre

Agreed. I remember in undergrad (yeah, that college...LOL) during a speech and communications class as a freshman, the prof. handed out a paper we had to read on androgyny stating that androgyny is actually more realistic/common than the extreme polarization of the genders. (The article was in no way tied to sexuality).That being said, I have damn near-perfect printing (I'm an architect) and damn near-perfect penmanship (all that Catholic school) and you would not believe all the stupid-ass bull$h! comments bordering on that it is gender inappropriate I have to listen to. I like my printing and handwriting, so I'm not changing it. It's nuts that neatness and cleanliness are considered "less than masculine."
