would you share a room with Danny in Vegas or Clearwater???

would you hire him to clean for you???

is that a fake accent you speak with just to impress the less learned???

Is it true that you showed up on Jimmy's porch once?


Pretty much, I have a daughter in San Antonio and since Jimmy was right on my way down I told him when I'd be there and he graciously showed me around his "man room" and then we went for Ribs and Chunky Monnky Ice cream. The next time, a year later was the day of our flight to Vegas for Jimmy's introduction to Connections where you and many others met him.

Yes, I'd share a room with you Danny - it would be loads of fun watching your eyes trying to decide on what you could look at or not in Vegas.
I don't know if you could pass our employee's tests and my accent is just as genuine as is your southern drawl or is that cus you have to get drunk before you call me?

It's your board Mike but as it grows it becomes "our" board and at some point
as it matures into an Institution I think that a name that reflects that may be in order. I would hope a great name would come out of a contest when the time comes.

Something like Harvard or Yale, just has a better ring to it than Mikey's university. But the Bird room should always be the Bird room, IMO.

I'm sorry Mikey but I can't help thinking of the Goonies Movie where a kid called Mikey was being forced by some brutish thugs to help them.

Thanks to all of you guys for the questions, it made watching GW Bush tonight more bearable.
I look forward to meeting all of you at some event.

Take care and good night.

Tony,

All though I have never met you in person, I have talked with you by phone and email. I have to say that I am very impressed with who you are, and what you have done.

Thank you

Feel free to step through my front door any time.... the rest of you should probably go around to the back!

That's very nice of you to say Keith, thanks a lot.

Here is one picture for Brian Luddy and few others of my shop, office and rug pit.

Thanks for all you're doing for the industry Tony.

Finding a way to keep the "instant experts with a product to sell" and "shills with a friend that has a product to sell" off of this board is worth a pat on the back all by itself.

How do you manage it?
