That, was an understatement.

I watched both. I, too, am now shocked.

You must be so proud.

About 4-5 years ago, I worked as an Art Department Manager for a direct mail house. Over the course of my employment, we had whittled down the staff & formed a close-knit team of Art and Proofreading employees.

One of the "artists/proofreaders" was named Bob L. Bob was an older gentleman, maybe in his 70s, who on smoke breaks, he would tell others about his stints in New York as an actor and as a ballet dancer, etc...The managers dubbed him "Stinky Bob" (in private) because we constantly had to drag him into private to talk about his hygiene. That's neither here nor there, but the gist of the story, is that no one quite believed his glory "stories."

He passed away about 2 years ago in the month of September. No one knew he had died until another co-worker tried to reach him through his sister. There was no obituary and practically no funeral. (I would have gone if I had known.)

I got an email from one of my employees (and personal friend) that included a youtube link with an email entitled "MUST SEE!!! You HAVE to see this... he wasn't lying... (you'll see what I mean)."

Link that was provided.

The guy in the red plaid (and clown mask) is he...

I also found him here.

Needless to say, I was shocked.

Did you buy the movie?

Why on earth would you be tempted to smell the dirt?

(That may have been rhetorical, depending on how bizarre the answer is. )

She can smell uncleanliness from a mile away!

She is actually going to try to fix it.

Yes, she has.

think about changing a vacuum's bag, for a vacuum with a bag. You can't help but smell it. especially if there's a lot of dog hair or cat hair.

Well, whatever it is, it won't be "normal", "sensible", "rational" or "intelligent".

Hiya Ace...still kicking but not posting much.
I still check out the product almost everyday, just don't have as much time to visit the forums and make pithy comments.

I know what you mean....I check out the product when I think of it and occasionally read a couple of threads, but I don't have the time I used to have.
Maybe after football season.....

And I for one miss your pithy comments!

I've been out of the loop around here, I'm afraid, but something mysteriously prompted me to do some all night shopping...

Hope all are well and are in the pursuit of happiness.

Hi, Neo, hope you and your family are all doing well. We do miss you.

Regarding football, please use whatever powers you have to ensure a OSU victory and shut up my whining Longhorn fan colleagues who think they should be playing another opponent.

Biggest game should be between the top dawgs....Utah and Boise State.

Hi poof!
Yep, all well. I've been able to spend more time at home for a change, leading to less time here though.
I still check in from time to time, but it's hard to keep up with everything.

Your reasons for not being here are good. Been in the area lately?

Nope, not out thataway.
My brother that lives there is trying to get rid of our family's piano and wants me to come get it...I don't really need it but it's been around for 70 or 80 years. Know anyone local that wants one?

No, sorry. You could PM Tall, she has an extended family that might.

OK, may do that if we can't otherwise find a home for it.
I'll wander off again now...y'all have a nice sleepless evening and good luck with the Christmas shopping!

Peace to all.
