    OOO... OOOO.... (Highway Star bounces around at his desk, holding his right arm up with his left hand, waving his right hand vigorously.) Pick me! Pick me! ahhh... uummmm.... His medication was adjusted?

    Disappearing Threads

    20 years in the biz, but only a couple of days here. The time here is what matters, something that would seem obvious to most. There used to be an unmoderated expediting forum. There was so much garbage to wade through to find a decent post, it wasn't worth spending time there. I'm sure that's...

    Relationships

    It is good to have you around, Bryan. We can always use some "almost in West Virginia" wisdom. Thanks Cheri. Now I have "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" playing in my head.

    "...if Mypie is our only investor, how much money can we actually have to work with? She's an expediter, for Petes sake! They ain't exactly takin' wheelbarrows full of money to the bank right now." The room is quiet, as they know Doug is making a good point. "Yes, I know a guy with my charisma...

    Canada JOJO's Steak Closed

    Master Steak is the 1 in front of the Husky. The 1 I think Fis is talking about is a couple of doors north and used to be called Billies. I was a regular there when I was with Thompson. I think they've run on a tight budget for a long time. Other than a short busy spell at lunch time, the place...

    Star composes himself and answers: I'm supposed to take this criticism from someone spending her time on the beach, on a cruise ship? I'm here on the fronts lines! I'm giving my blood, sweat and tears to this project! Put up or shut up, lady. When you're here, putting in grueling 6 hour days...

    Home Time for the IRS

    The IRS is at home? I'd think they'd be working overtime as the 15th rapidly approaches.;) Just kidding, good luck with the truck. You should be able to find a good deal right now.

    After a day to clear his head after Chong's departure and a good nights sleep, Highway Star takes a meeting with Cheri and the director to get up to speed on the script. "The cast of E.R.... You're kidding, right? Is there anything more 'yesterdays news' than E.R.? We have to be current...

    ...Let's go with frozen and shrunken. We can use what we have and have more options for how we abuse and humiliate Doug. Maybe he'll think twice next time he wants to whine about being bored. Funniest videos already has plenty to look at since IRT was brought into the script. We'll have the...

    Back in El Paso, things are at a standstill. Star and Tommy Chong have moved the airstream to the J to get away from all the arguing. Just after dark, they stumble out the door, set up a couple of lawn chairs and stare at the twinkling lights of Jaurez. After about 15 minutes, Chong takes a deep...

    Learning to be proud again

    I guess TC didn't hear about the Leno show. And, I guess he hasn't heard what Obama sounds like when the teleprompter goes down. OMG, W winked at the Queen! Let's not lose sight of the fact that the royals are simply people that were born into that family. There sole function is to... ahhh...

    ..."All you guys want to do is spend money. If his brains are already shot, does he really need a helmet? But, I'm sure they'll be some whiny group of do-gooders that'll complain if he doesn't have one. See what you can find for 10 or 20 bucks at that flea market down the road." Stars phone...

    Where are we? April 1st

    That's the sound of freedom, my friend. Embrace it! I live right next to the Alpena airport. I love it when the jets are in town. Free air show! Bob the bulldog, on the other hand, gets totally freaked out. He'll spend a lot of time sitting right next to someone and shaking.

    a cut above part 2

    I know what you mean about feeling like the Lone Ranger doing the speed limit in the city. Out on the open road, going 10 or even 15 over the limit is, more often than not, not a dangerous thing. The interstate system was designed for high speeds. The 10 percenters I was talking about are the...
