Assignor insults me!

And she'll be home - unless Nordstrom is having a sale, of course.

Somebody has to spend all those big bucks you're pulling in as commissioner and Fox 40 operator, right?

If you've been around this board for a while, you'd realize what an insult that is!

Mark, question, would you prefer to be called OLD SCHOOL or an OLD HEAD?

Just asking...

Mark's motto is "Old Head" is better than "No Head".

Just saying.....

Actually, "head" was a slang term back in the 60s for someone who smoked dope. Maybe that's appropriate for me, since sometimes I think I'm still on an acid trip from back then and this is all an illusion. I really don't know how I could disprove that if it were true. BTW - here's a photo of me.

Do assigner's earn their pay and respect to make such comments?

Just remember everybody: If you can remember the 60's (and I don't mean the 1860's either), you were NOT there.

MTD - I really experienced the 60s to the max. I was in HS from 61-65 and college from 65-69. Those were the days of anti-war protests, Woodstock, underground newspapers (I edited one), Richard Nixon, flower children, psychedelic music and, of course, drugs. Two stories I tell were about the time I was questioned by the FBI on a college campus (Purdue) for possibly crossing a state line to incite a riot (I was only on that campus to visit my girlfriend for the weekend and there were student protests at that time) and the time my doctor gave me an "experimental medication" to see if it would relieve my migraines - lysergic acid. When I told my wife that a few years ago, she said it explained a lot.

Gotta get out your way, to where the game fees must be more generous than here!

I know you're kidding, but the residual hippie in me would warn you not to confuse the peace symbol with the symbol of an automobile company located in what arguably could be considered the most aggressive military country in the past 100 years. I'm sure you know the two symbols are not identical.

Sorry to get so serious, but I've been rather nostalgic lately.
