Reply With QuoteOne of the young Turks sat on my sunglasses and broke them. I hate when that happens, but for some reason I hate buying sunglasses even more. Good thing they were only a pair of $15 drugstore specials.

Many times the young'uns weren't in the mood for it and demanded just my "normal" voice. Other times, if they wanted a story I hated, I would open the book, and start "reading" a completely different one that I knew off by heart and liked better. The other stunt I'd pull with memorized stories was keep reciting and to "forget" to turn the page and see how far I'd go before they noticed and start flipping to catch up. And when they got bigger, I'd give them the choice - "Who's reading? You or me?"

It's that low? I'm not sure I concur with your math.

It's so hard to get rhetorical with numbers, eh? So compared to a HOF poster like DDeac, we would be talking about .0000000000000006%, I suppose...

What I lack in quantity, I more than make up for in quality.
If of course, by "make up" you mean "fictionally represent"

HOF? Hah! I'm barely 1st team AA (but have been made so 3 times by having made post #6000 on three different occasions Originally Posted by Turk

) and I'd reckon I'd have to reach 10K or 15K posts to achieve that status, if it even exists...
Nah, that's just crazietalk...

I think that happens more often than people realize. Once upon a time, Mrs. Turk was in charge of figuring out cost of goods sold for a bumbling bunch of idiots. When she told them that they were indeed losing money on every sale on two key products, and she had the data to back it, she was told, "never mind, we can fix that later." Needless to say, "later" never came...

I realize I'm going out on a limb criticizing female appearances, but I find that Progressive pitch-lady with the garish red lipstick very creepy and weird-looking. Makes me want to run away from their insurance, not buy it...

That's OK, I find the Cavemen creepy.

ooh, good call, the cavemen are even worse. What a bi-polar marketing strategy. They have that cute little lizard with the English accent (the young Turks love him), and those bizarre cavemen.
But that overexcited Progressive lady is all over the WorldWide Leader. I can't hide from her as easily as the cavemen...

I concur. Why they use her in those commercials, I'll never know. Perhaps I'm not in their demographic. Originally Posted by Turk

Hmm... Looks like they're trying for the demographic of "anyone who drives a car and has a job"

Gah what a day. Reminds me of Cheers when Norm comes into the bar.
"How's it going Mr. Peterson?"
"It's a dog eat dog world, Woody & I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear."
"Hey Norm, how's the world been treating you?"
"Like a baby treats a diaper."
"How's life treating you Norm?"
"Like it caught me sleeping with its wife."
There's a going-away happy hour for a guy at work. I think I will enjoy a coupla pints of Guinness...
