As a lawyer, being anything but guarantees you'll be missing a vacation. I can't imagine the level of frustration at scheduling a time-share two years hence in Maui, and then being told by a partner tht that is the one, and only one, week in which an unimportant third-party witness must be deposed.

Timeshares

My first job was telemarketing, trying to get people to come up to Ontario "cottage country" to take a tour of a timeshare property. For this we offered them a free gift, which I recall was a crapola 1986-era portable TV. We got their names and phone numbers from "contest entry forms" people filled out at home shows and boat shows. I was 13 and not quite up to the challenge of having people yell at me for calling during dinner. I didn't last very long.

So my opinion of timeshares is that the people who are trying to get you to go to the meeting are only trying to earn some money to support their X-Factor and Alpha Flight habits, and to make time with the cute blonde 16 year old who works Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Trane?

I'd kind of like to see Trane get it so he could have both.

I'm calling you, Coltrane.

As an admin, can't you delete some posts, and just keep us happily below 12k until sometime in the middle of the long weekend?

As an admin and an FB denizen, I want our K race to happen quick, fast, in a hurry, so that we can resume normal operations.

If you delete all the Just For Fun posts, we should be in good shape...

Better yet

Better yet, can you get this programmed to skip 12,000, and just go straight to 12,001? Then 12,000 can be slipped in at random at a later time.

Conceivably, I could auction off the 12,000th post to the highest contributor to my true poker account.

I will start the bidding at one cent.

BTW, there's an interesting k-race kicker because one can't post more than once in 20 seconds. Can't really create the k-race train and peel them off.

So, can we now start talking about the Tour?

Will Lance win No. 5?

Nicely done, Chief Justice.

Can the dearth of posts be related to people leaving early for the holiday weekend?

Yes, Congrats.

And I must say, your Avatar is perfect for the July 4th weekend.

I don't know if it has anything to do with people leaving early, but I know I'm heading out in about an hour and am already one of the last here.

Have a good 4th all.
