Excellent!!! Love, love, love, the Onyx theme. I hate the blue stuff.

^I agree. Are there really that many IE6 users here that are regular posters? I realize there may be more posting from IE6 during the work week/hours - but at home, everyone has there personal machines. Incidentally, I have no problems with mine. Tested on Firefox, Safari, and Opera - granted, not thoroughly.

Good thinking

:o

Love the stairs and the shot with the power grid in front of the skyline

Funny, I've notice in the past week or so, a major advertising push by Sears on TV. I guess they have a computer set up in the home appliance section where a salesperson will help you compare the product you are thinking of buying with the competition's. If it is lower, I think they match it. Pretty cool idea.

History's cool

Too bad they don't use that old logo, "The city is our Classroom."

That which I have chosen to be the item you must read. :D Actually, it is what appeared to be most relevant to the thread.

The water hose was not rewound.

I had an appointment on West 15oth yesterday and drove past the NCB building. Noticed a parcel with major demo work going on next to it. Anyone know what used to be there and what may be going up in its place?

Concrete porch w/cheap railings

I think everyone is getting a case of mob hysteria. I agree with everyone's comments regarding the blatant negative editorializing of most every article; however, you cannot say that the entire rag is a piece of trash. HJG, for example, is not part of the cancer. Steve Litt _although I may not agree with everything he preaches, is a good writer, too. John Pectovich is entertaining as well ,and does a great job sharing the love of Clevo-land. I think I have said this before, but I'll say it again. What the PD people need to do is add some of the features they used to put in the paper that was fun and educational. I used to love reading the "Today in Cleveland's History" bit. Perhaps they could have a weekly piece where they highlighted some public art display. There is so much freaking public art here in the city (as us UOers know) they could do something different every week for the next ten years and not run out of stuff. Maybe do a contest like Games magazine used to have: Eyeball Benders. Hell, there is a whole bunch of content here on UO that they could use (with proper licencing, of course) And for god's sake - get rid of some of those comics that have been around since Rob was a kid. ;)

Too bad I might only have three weeks left due to lack of work. Bad enough I'm the only full time employee here.

;D

I knew you would like that one.

notalwaysright.com Rudolph The Boob-Nosed Reinder Medical Supply Call Center | California, USA Me: “Thank you for calling ***, this is Bill in the breast aesthetics department. How may I help you?” Customer: “My left boob popped.” Me: “Okay, so the implant failed?” Customer: “Yes.” Me: “Are your implants silicone gel or saline?” Customer: “The water kind.” Me: “So, we’ve had a saline deflation. I need to ask you some questions in regards to how it may have deflated.” Customer: “Why, don’t you believe me?” Me: “Of course I believe you, but as part of making our implants even better and evaluating where under the device’s warranty this falls, I need to know what may have led up to the implant’s leak.” Customer: “Oh, so you think this is my fault?! You make a crappy implant and you have the nerve to blame me?” Me: “Wait, wait. First, I didn’t make your implant, my company did. I’m here to help you get this fixed in the fastest way possible and that starts with finding out how the implant deflated.” Customer: “So you want to know what I did to screw them up, is that right? I spend a fortune on these things to be walking around with a flat tire of a tit and you think it’s my fault?” Me: “No, ma’am. I simply need to know how to cover this under your warranty, to see how much money we are going to give you to fix the problem. We give you a check for money to fix the problem if you’ll just answer my questions. What do you remember doing when you first noticed the deflation in your breast?” Customer: “Me and my boyfriend were playing sex hide-and-seek in the house and he thought it would be more fun if my boobs glowed. So, he used a needle tube to insert little red lights into them… what do you call those little glowing lights? It’s like three letters?” Me: “… A diode?” Customer: “Yes. He’s a trained professional… he uses them on animals at his job all the time.” Me: “So, your boyfriend punched a hole in your chest and tried inserting a diode inside the implant?” Customer: “Well, not in my chest. Just on the top side of my boob so it wouldn’t hurt. He numbed it first.” Me: “… And this is the implant’s fault, how?” Customer: “It started leaking and getting flat.” Me: *laughing* “I’m sorry, can you repeat that? I’m recording this and no one is going to believe me!” Customer: *click*
