    You could just have Troy hump one leg and Russ the other and I hear it's about the same experience... :eek:

Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    *twiddles thumbs* will this DAY NEVER END!!!

    I've only been at work for 40mins, but I wanna go home and get things ready :). And I don't leave until tomorrow! I'm gonna have to be pretty damn tired to sleep tonight.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    This is going to be the longest day of work that I've had to endure in forever. I think I'll not ask, but tell them I'm leaving work around 5-6pm instead of 9. That'll help out tremendously on my timetable. I don't want to miss any of the HQ tour.

    IF Maz and I were to arrive a little late at HQ, will we have any problems in getting in??

    Getting into Polk is like getting into Control HQ (Get Smart). The cypher lock only operates at certain times. Sorry. :D

    Unfortunately, no. She has some work things that she can't get out of. She said she's bummed she isn't going to see everyone.

    She's already planning Carolina Polkfest '06 though.

    That's one I WON'T miss! It's bad enough that I have to miss Polk HQ, Matt, Doro, Mrs. Doro, Baltimore etc...

    But there is no way I'm going to miss the LW, Dion hospitality, Hardcore Polkies and Charleston too! It just ain't goin' to happen.

    I am so disappointed I'm not going to be able to attend. I mean I'll miss getting kicked/kicking some one in the balls. I'll miss not getting humped by not 1 but 2 or more CP members. I'll miss pants flying off and general nakedness. It sounds like the tour of Polk HQ is actually secondary ;):D:p .

    Seriously....have fun guys and gals be safe, take lot's of pics and keep a journal for those of us who can't be there. I'll be there in spirit just not in body. As Doro suggested I'll raise a drink this weekend for all you people, and I'm certain you'll do the same for those of us who can't attend.

    P.s. Mark too bad Russ isn't flying SouthWest you being naked at the airport would make for a great episode of Airline

    Heiney - LOL That show kicks **** :) We will toast you sir, no problem.

    Everyone - If you are arriving late, no worries, just worry about getting there at all. I will make sure that you get in, and get started.

    Okay now I'm a little pissed off at my GSM at work. I asked, that if it was slow or raining, if I could sneak out of here early. He says, "Well you know that you and Laura(finance mgr) are going to be the only ones here after 6." I guess that he can't help me out a little and stay around for a while for me. I've changed my plans for him more than once. :mad:

    So, it looks as though Maz and I are going to be on "Full Tilt Boogie" on the highways tonight.

    Sooo, tell me where all the speed traps are. We'll be taking 70E from Columbus to 79S from just below Pittsburgh to 68E from Morgantown,WVA to 70E to 695S into Bmore.

    We'll be cutting it close, but barring any unforeseen events, should have at least an hour or so before the festivities start.

    Looks like Ophelia is attending the HQ tour too. If you are driving a distance, be careful. Hurricanes are not fun things to drive in.

    Here's the weather.com outlook:
    Showers early then scattered thunderstorms developing later in the day. High 83F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

    Not a perfect day, but I think everyone should be able to handle it :)
