Hey, those would match my Sony waterproof Walkman too!

Is this an obscure reference to Monica Lewinsky? Although to be truthful, I would pay cash money to see that while working out at the gym (or anywhere else, for that matter!)

Nice! I have come to believe that there is not one life situation that cannot be served well by at least one quote from that movie. One of my favorite quotes of all time is "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son". I use it often.

Do we actually have any female participants on the forum???
Thinking about it, didn't you scare away the last one!

We used to have a couple. Mo got scared off, but we also had a regular from down around here. She worked for an indian reservation back then. She got an opportunity for more money at a bigger company, and we told her to go for it. I guess she did, and now is too damn busy for us

Margo isn't very active on Facebook. I did learn she likes colours from there though.

By "we" I think you mean "blindman" and by "scared off" I think you mean "hounded incessantly".

FlyGirl was around about 2005 or so I think - that is how little oestrogen there has been round here.

Still who needs women when we have each other?
Hmmmmmmmmmm.

She still asks questions but we don't see her here often. I think most of the recent ones have been Access or SSRS.

I just had a memory come back to me of camping in a reservation in South Dakota. I was sharing a spot with one of the locals who was camping rough for the evening, it turned out he worked as a lawyer for Indian rights and was as camp as Christmas - the guy was a laugh a minute! A while later a weird German biker joined us, he had no belongings apart from the leathers he was dressed in and eventually just went to sleep on the ground. To top the evening off we then had a herd of buffalo come down and share the spot with us. They're pretty big creatures by any standards and a ranger (?) stopped by to tell us we were crazy to be camping anywhere near the damn things - looking at my fellow campers I privately thought that the buffalo were taking the bigger risk.

...and by "hounded incesantly" you mean "didn't fawn over or pander to".

Me, but I have a date for the weekend who I fully intend to fawn over and pander to obsessively.

You will do that until you think she is hooked then you will go back to your normal "incessant houding"
