Ginx snewx Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I like the way he talks and he likes the way I talk, ha-hum I want to party with Bozart, probably my biggest disappointment about not being able to attend the Conf is his presence. Somehow I think his highbrow act disappears after a couple of highballs and a good cigar. Meeting face to face melts away preconceived notions rather quickly. Pete is a major league ball buster and often pushes the envelope but as you and I know he is intelligent, well rounded and forward thinking. I actually believe Bozart, Pete, you and I are much alike in our belief system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If any of you hot weather lovers really want to get a good dose of summer fun you can help strip the forms off this latest foundation. Then, once the flaming sun heats the new concrete and the blasted rock to incinerator temps you can help coat the foundation with hot rubber. After lunch, when it's really hot you can help prep for the radiant heat by putting down the reflective insulation that goes under the ground level slab. At the end of the day, should you survive, you can tell us all about how wonderful the heat is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Bozart doesn't really get that we've all met in real life and have had a great time together. I'm sure Dave knows I'm kidding around with him as this is what we do in here. I'm not so sure about Bozart. He could be cool though he has been a d*ck to me. That probably has more to do with his allegiance to the hive or whatever cutsie little name they have for themselves. I've tried to be civil with him but, like most of them, he seems to be only interested in fomenting discord. It's funny, I think the olive branch is their kryptonite, as soon as I extend it they flee back into the woodwork. Luckily, if I want to see them, all I have to do is taunt them with pics of snow.

I just want to be loved. Is that so bad? Seriously, I do love being a Dad (most of the time). I would be at a total loss though if I didn't have such an awesome wife.

I can still feel the sunburn on my shoulders at night lying in bed as an 18 yr old home for my first summer in college. My dad was a hardazz, but I am certainly glad he was, he still has an incredible work ethic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
