and did anyone notice Geoff moved the "classifieds" UP abv the other stuff?

you did

Now its Purple again!

I am truly amazed someone, even Bjorn, noticed I changed the front page a tiny bit.

I've been a member for over a year now, and have yet to see a Flambeau Burgandy vert as the mascot.
(hint hint hint)

I think if there's one thing that every FGF member can agree on, its that a burgandy vert is by far the finest example of the FGF on earth.

John, theres a RED one up top on my screen now. That might be Burgundy I suppose..?

"Take those 15 managers, stick a broom up their backsides and have them tour the plant. There, it's clean"

That's sheer genius!

I have to admit, I'm not the one who thought of that idea. A old gent at work thought of it. Wrote it up in the 'Suggestion Program'. Almost got the maximum award. The plant manager had to sign the award and realized he was included in the sweepers. He went back over the detailed pictures that went with the submission of the idea and didn't like the picture that was drawn of him sweeping away. If they would have made his nose a little smaller and removed the large irregular mole I think he would have went for it!

Close enough!!
Geoff, my "donation" is in the mail- don't worry, I won't tell anyone about our deal......

I once received a similar award for submitting a suggestion for a safety slogan, which was something to the effect of; "what's the point of safety anyway? Life sux then you die- better to live hard, die young and leave a good looking corpse"

They decided ahead of time that anyone who got a vote got to choose a prize- so they had to give me a prize- that really ticked off a few of them...just to rub it in, I chose the best prize- a company windbreaker!!

By the way, Nash, does it qualify as threadjacking if the thread wasn't really about anything to begin with....?...?...

Doubt it, this is "Ramblings & Chatter", we just rambled on one of our ramblings...

mine is chrome..

I got the windbreaker too. And a selection of bags. Once I received $800 but I had to get the safety rep and MIOSHA involved to finally get the suggestion implimented. They had safety lock-out tabs on the air supply that would only lock in the 'ON' position. Work on a machine that's locked ON sometime. Oh yeah, that's really safe!
Ramble On.

What was the original subject here anyways? We've covered 5-6 subjects here at least! Might have to modify the "Holy Unalterable Book of Thread Hijacking Rules".

Now, where'd I put that book.....?

... but someone will ramble on and digress on that modification post as well Nash !

off for an extended Friday lunch ...talk at ya all in a few hours...

Looks like Autumn Bronze on my screen...

mine looks like some Merlot wine thats starting to 'turn'....LOL

Paul Masson's body shop:
"we will paint no brandywine before its time...."

ROFL

just between you and me, "brandywine" sounds slightly more masculine than "flambeau burgandy", but only slightly...

e.g:
"yeah, I got the 400 cubic inch HO motor, 4 on the floor, 4 barrel quadrajet"
"cool, dude, what color is it?"
"its, ahem, ahhh, .... flambeau burgandy"
"duuuuuuuude"

(not that there's anything wrong with that, of course....)

well, its probably better than "flaming" burgundy!

"what about the interior?"
"its parchment"
"don't you mean white?"
"no, parchment- its an off white with just a whisper of pearl to add accent"
"ohh duuuuude"
"What? What? .... more Perrier?...."
"dude I gotta go......"

You know you guys have succeeded in busting one of the longstanding myths, and that may get you in trouble!

For instance, how do you describe the color of your carpet? Of your lawn? Of the paint on the walls? A palette of half a dozen colors seems to serve well for this. Yet when describing a car, you have a much larger palette, at least 128 shades! Is this a learned or inherited condition?

Don't let your wives find out, or you'll have to help pick colors!

Hey, you may be on to something!!
"Honey, I've decided. We're going to paint the new kitchen metallic flambeau burgandy with autumn bronze countertops and mayfair maize appliances. You're welcome."

"Brandy, yer a fine girl, what a GOOD wife, you would be!"

You all need me to finish that chorus, or is it coming back to you?

That reminds me of a joke where the punch line is:

"Beige ... let's pain the ceiling Beige."

PMI, seems you missed the boat my friend. It was 1972 and we all knew the words to that song. I was 12 years old and even I knew ALL the words.

"But my life, my lover, my lady.. is the Sea"

Z, that is CLASSIC! A normal wife would keel over if confronted with your announcement.

Bring out the tawny port 'n stogies boys

I think Geoff is at it again, although more subtle changes this time.

Merry Christmas everyone. Gotta get to work cleaning now.

Tim

In my job (architecture),that happens pretty often....

Now that red one's perfect....
