Thank you for the kind words. Just remember that the next time some piece of advice I give backfires.:)

Cut it out Backlighting.

He will think he is worth a raise and these rotters already get paid too much!! Cut out Cajun cooking and the backfires will stop!

Thanks.:Cool:

Charlie says my commission is on the way but I have been hearing that for a while now. Somehow this can be blamed on Vansmith I'm sure.:Mischievous: He's been awful quiet lately and that's never a good thing.

@Harry I'll give up Cajun / Creole cooking when someone pries a knife and fork from my hands. My waistline will attest to the fact that many have tried and failed.

Thanks.

Hey Charlie, maybe I should have mentioned it before now but at least two Mac-related forums that I used to belong to have now gone to that digital graveyard in the ether. with that kind of track record you guys may change your mind.

Ashwin is spot on and will be the only Moderator to miss out on this pay rise.

Hey Harry...

Sly already has a new hat (10 gallon size) and he can indulge in all the Catfish and Hush Puppies that he can eat at any Red River Casino. :p

Good idea but given my luck at the tables that can be expensive. On the other hand I do have a few relatives that can fry up a mean plate of Catfish. Better food, lower cost. How can I go wrong?

I heard that the commission is due tomorrow Sly? Working on the principle that tomorrow never comes, don't hold yer breath mate!

Now!!! I will eat most things, but I draw the line at Hush Puppies no matter which way they would be cooked. In fact I've never heard of anyone cooking them? Does it get rid of the sweaty feet smell? :Evil::Evil::Evil:
