A lot of reaction coming from PHL is that those who root for the Eagles will also hate that team for signing Vick.

Phillies game I suppose?

Both the Eagles and the Phillies played at the Vet. It was a dual purpose stadium.

Gearing them up with real world skills like welding, design, is all encompassing education covering everything from math, reading, science of several studies, and more.

I absolutely agree. And as a female that went into the engineering field, and as someone who is tired now, I will leave my tirade about education alone for the time being. ;)

Their next newsletter will likely spell out in detail what I was doing with them.

The sports car in the video is for sale if anyone wants it. 0-60 in 4 seconds and 60 mpg.

Well I look forward to hearing more about the project and the newsletter. Can't afford the car now, though. :D

Hello and good night, Box from HHH.

How much is the car? :) I or the company may be interested, I may would wing it as advertising :)

You actually made me double check my tix to make sure I had the right date in mind. :eek:

I don't think I ever posted it over here but being that I'm done w/ my weekly trips to Philly, even though I can't say what exactly I was doing (will post newsletter when it comes out) but I can say it was with this group(YouTube video)

That's a great cause....and a bad a$$ ride!!

I think two people at work are glad I have the next two days off. :D
I was pushed over the edge and came up swinging. I detest being asked to work more and harder by someone who stands around staring into space, pretending to be busy.

Good night Box.

Sounds like it was a rough night for you -- enjoy your time off!;)

Unbelievable that some people can actually live with themselves believing that they are truly 'contributing' - when they're not!:confused:

Awww, thank you. I love everyone in The Box.

Neither of us like it very much when we don't get our way - we're both hardheads.

Neither did I. Especially Philly. The management must be oblivious to the collecive personality of the fan base.

I don't need any more reasons to hate that team. However, any reasons that just land in my lap like a gift like this one, I certainly won't turn down.

There's another good one he's shown me before that involves a one night stand in a hotel room while the girl is playing Super Mario Brothers and the guy is doing whatever he pleases with her while she plays the video game. :eek:

More props to her for being able to concentrate on the video game.

The local area people know all too well that Eagles fans will claim to love the team and bleed green, but will boo and hiss and wish painful deaths upon players and coaches and their families for one botched play. The fans around here are deranged lunatics that expect and demand total perfection. Rare, IME, is the Eagles fan who can intelligently debate what went wrong in a loss.

On a somewhat related note, when I got to my fiancee's last night her father brought up at the dinner table that tonight was the first preseason game. I asked if the Eagles fans have to re-learn the chant at the start of every season...maybe they forgot how to spell the name of the team in the offseason. That got a chuckle from the fiancee and her sister, a sidelong "you really said that?" glance from her mother, and a complete nonreaction from her father. I'll be here all week, try the veal.

Morning, Box. Happy Friday.

'morning box. Slow morning over here! The box was all the way down to thread #10 (not including the stickies)... I thought maybe it got locked down overnight. I'll due my job, though, and bump it up.

Oh, wait, umm.

"Yes, I agree."

Mackieman Aug 14, 2009 6:50 am

Good morning, Box. Today's theme is relax and wait for the call instead of pacing like a crazy man on meth.
