It's not what you know.....

My step-brother is a real estate agent, and his boss owned the building where I bought my condo. Almost $40K knocked off the asking price.

My buddy works at a bar...sometimes free drinks, stay after it's open, and if there's a huge line during Red Sox games I can walk right in. Another friend is a promotions manager for a beer company, so I get free beer from her...and she fixed a raffle a few weeks ago, I "won" a new Trek mountain bike.

Even though I bought my current car somewhere else, I'm still friends with the guys that run the dealership I used to work for. I could always get a used car for cost, or close to.

Another friend is a cop, he said if I call him the day I get a speeding ticket, he can probably make a call and get it cleared. He also gave me this sticker for my car that I think already got me off a ticket.

Couple friends are lawyers...hopefully I never have to use them for anything.

What do I offer...uh...dirty jokes.

Dirty jokes are good Slappy!

It seems that they've won you a nice circle of friends anyway.

I know you offer more than that even if you like to pretend you're a doofus.

By the way, do you ever see the Ese anymore?

I miss that guy.

I hang out with the Ese pretty often. His girlfriend is one of my other best friend's sister. I told him to get back in the mix, but he's really busy at work.

My friend is Francis, he lives in Paris, he sends me cheese, mostly Velveeta.

How do you say "American Processed" in French?

now all you need is some wine.



thats what im for

I got all the whine I can use, thank you. I do, however, need some rainbow bread to use for Velveeta sammiches.

Send the Ese my regards.

When you mentioned lawyer friends I thought you might mean Ese. I'm glad to know you guys still hang out together.

Ummmm. Velveeta. That sounds very French!

shewolf, you have wine?

Slappy--

My best to The Ese.

****************

I'd love to barter the hours of research and paperwork I do for the fringes of Mr. Noddy's family, but they are busy people.

I'd love to be able to swap mental labor for housecleaning.

I'm going to have to start a "Tribute to Ese" thread, then send it to him.

Monday...

Noddy, family is the worst, isn't it?

My family is so "Oh.... photos...." when I have spent hours and hours getting it just right.

Family.

Bah!

What I remember most about Ese is that he was so funny and had so much fun that nobody took him seriously.

One day he posted something about passing the bar exam and suddenly everyone thought he was brilliant.

Cracked me up!

That, and something about Skittles....

..... or are you the Skittle junkie?

You guys!

Pea, meet pod.

Pot, allow me to introduce kettle.

Plastique?
