Sorry, Tracey, but I've been slammed around enough today. I need a drink or three too, DaniV.

eta: Meet y'all at the bar.

etaII: Sorry to hear about your nose, April. Sounds painful. Here, let me put a frosty beer up to it to reduce swelling. Better?

Dani

Gawd bless you, Wendy! You're a trooper. Thank you.

April, take care of that nose, you poor thing.

Mike, that's quite a post (a good read too). How long did it take you? One, two hours to cut and paste and type?


Tracey

*Stands up and applauds* Mike, I adore you. Just sayin'.

That part about the crew sounded rather familiar...

Din0

PS...c'mon Wendy, I'll buy you a beer.

I haven't contributed to this thread so far, mainly because I'm not sure what I have to say would be worth reading.

But, Mike, after reading your post all I can say is you MUST run for office yourself! I'm confused by what point you were trying to make in your post (somehow the word "confused" and politician seem to go together!), but at least you already have the part where you distance yourself from a supporter who would be detrimental to your winning the election out of the way! *snort*

(Nola should contact Rev. Wright about starting up their own political party! )

But, what exactly is your "platform?" We know you believe in "brown before green," but how will that translate onto a bumper sticker? Actually, I'm kind of partial to Go with the flow, win with Rowe!

Frankly, I think running for office would be a piece of cake after the schedule you've had!

Liz

Thanks Dani *chugs beer* I needed that too


April

April,
I think the bar operates according to South African Laws. Legal age = 18. It sounds as though you need a drink.

Karen

No one really decent will EVER run for president in this country because why would they want to put up with the BS from the media?

Kathy

Din0, you're always so sweet, but since Wendy let me smack her, I'll buy her first drink. You can buy the second, deal?

Tracey

Send that letter, Send that letter, Send that letter

Cherry

"This is what I would do if he really wanted to be a citizen with celebrity status:
Mail an autographed photo with your letter and the required money to get the politicians to sit up and take notice."

What? Nola, are you kidding? That's it? That's your advice?
I'm sorry, but I feel compelled to begin the search for a new publicist. Consider this your two second notice.

"NOLA, I find it incredible that you have such a low opinion of Mike yet you have 6716 posts on his messageboard. If I felt like that, I wouldn't spend my time here."

Kay,
I find myself in consistent, violent agreement with this and most of your comments.
Nola, you're fired.
Empty your desk. Leave the restroom key on the file cabinet.

Kay, when can you start?


*****************************************

Mike just enclose $.50 and a SASE and I'm sure they will be happy to send back an autographed photo with you photoshoped on it.


Love,

NOLA

You got served nola admit it


ha ha

bad movie reference

April

Hey Kay, congrats on your new job! Hope it pays well, at least more than you are paid now!

Enjoyed that Mike - needed a little pick-me-up this afternoon - now back to work.

Susan

You know just when I had a witty contribution to this particular thread, that might have actually gotten a response, I got completely swamped at work, had to devote my afternoon to the ever changing, multi-layered factory of fun that is the practice of divorce law and completely forgot what the witty contribution would have been in the first place. It's been a long day.


Sarah

Since you are on a hiring/firing spree there Mike, how about adding another attorney to your growing list of support staff? I work cheap, real cheap.

Upon returning home from yet another week from ill-h@ll at that hospital, I read this from the new "Camelot?"

Liz you're so d@mn right. The political arena is the ultimate dirty job and he should take that shot. Unfortunately, we have way too much honesty riding on him. But then, what's the risk factor here. He has fail (as he points out in the past). Look what we have out there. How much damage could he do.
Maybe, just maybe the 'blue collar' America just might be ready for honesty. Anyone I know who pays taxes(and drives a car), is very much ready for HONESTY.

Nola, no matter what the others say--you're OK in my book and and should be his Hilary......
The two of you could WHIP is place into a frenzie.

To be consided for nomination.

It was all rather anticlimactic though wasn't it NOLA.

Love,

Um….so I guess there really isn’t a letter. It was just another “show-biz” story. Okay, that’s cool.

You should consider re-hiring NOLA and have her start promoting you as “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business”. The title is still available since James Brown passed on a while back.

Have her put your new title on all letterhead and stationery in case you decide to actually write the letter. It will give you the street cred some people think you lack.

Moose

Excuse me please.

I have a footnote to my earlier post here regarding our candidate.

There will be NO, I repeat NO hiring of interns without a full screening from this board and final decision will be cleared by SBTB.

Thank you for your time.

momac

Uh...I'm not a Hillbillery whatever.

Mike...wanna see what I probe my questions with?



NOLA

"And though I probably couldn't do your job, I'd trade schedules with you any day..."

Mike, it's a deal. I'll even pick you up at the bus station. You could fake it at work, it's everything else that you're going to struggle with.

"Um….so I guess there really isn’t a letter. It was just another “show-biz” story. Okay, that’s cool."

Hi Moose,

The letter is both real, and written. I finished it while talking to the reporter. (Yes, I can multi-task.) As I explained, it's not a question of sending it. It's a question of publishing it. I'm still kicking it around.

"You should consider re-hiring NOLA and have her start promoting you as “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business."

No thanks. Once bitten, twice shy. I can't afford Nola's brand of public relations. And James Brown is still the hardest working man in show business, even dead.

Mike
