number eleven, is that like my friend william, who in college when he had to go the the bathroom he would say "i've got to go talk to a man about a horse" is it like that?
or did you really "have a meeting about a pig?"
either way that's a lot of stuff.
My favorite #12, when I met Shannon for the very first time!
ham--i've got to see a man about a dog.
heather--i was thinking that also. that was my second day or work, i think.
e--you are awesome. i am your biggest fan. and UAC's biggest fan.
Congrats on 10 years! The UAC would not be what it is without you and all of the stuff you to to keep the machine running. Keep it up sister.
You should reward yourself by playing a nice game of Snood during the next Board meeting, perhaps making a prank call to The Schnadel and you should play The Gambler or Lucille really loud in the office and sing along for everyone!
oh yeah, and an icy cold 4:00 D.C. in a can! yum!
only one fancy party?
i had to reread the scraped grout
i kept thinking it said scraped goat?
I thought the same thing as Dwayne ... I can't believe there was only one fancy party!
Unless by fancy you mean everyone borrowed their jewels from Harry Winston and flew in on their private jets.
