You mean there are pictures with that French Poodle ? The one with blue eyes ? I always thought the two of them were very discrete !
Oh do show !


Obviously our refusal to hire you a couple of weeks back has driven you to the depths of criminal behavior. It is sad when we are forced to report someone on the thread to the SPCA, but we must occasionally take this drastic step!

If you must know, when you threatened to file suit to challenge our hiring practices, your application for employment was reviewed at the highest levels. Shortly before leaving for Singapore, JXM authorized us to extend you an offer that I am sure you will find....ummmm.....challenging ....and perhaps rewarding as well. There are no stock options, of course.....and the pay redefines the phrase "minimum wage"....but I think it's right up your alley......

You are now the Company's official lyricist:

angelfire.com

JXM insisted, however, that you will start this position on probation, and that the posting of lyrics from any of the following on Company premises will be grounds for immediate termination without severance benefits:

Air Supply
Bryan Adams
Barbara Streisand
Wham!, George Michael, or any of George Michael's close friends
Debby Boone
Billy Joel (case by case exceptions may be available)

In addition, although Lost1 is not on the payroll officially, he is entitled to add any artists he would like to this list on the ground that he has impeccable taste in music.

I am now in Singapore....I even have a high speed connection to my room....this place is very classy. I even have a bidet. I guess I will fill that up with ice and beer for the party tonight.

Yesterday I went on a walkabout around KL. Started at my hotel which looked to be about 3 miles from the Petronas Towers. I navigated using dead reckoning, which I assure you does not work in KL or any other city with curvy roads. After walking through some very interesting neighborhoods. I was walking by a row of street restaurants and got to witness a chicken lose her head in preparation for lunch. Finally, I could tell that I was no more than 1/2 mile from the towers when I turned up the next street to see that it "T"d into a 20 foot wall. I walked up to it and noticed that the wall was uninterrupted for at least a mile in each direction. Had to double back, but finally found my way through. Finally made it to the towers and thankfully fell into the air conditioned arms of the mall that is connected to the tower center. Ate at burger king (I was jonesing for some american food and a coke) and then noticed a movie theater. Watched "Cast Away" and ate sweetened popcorn. I was going to walk back, but there was a deluge of rain to the point that most people wouldn't even walk the 100 ft to the taxi. And that was pretty much the extent of yesterday's fun.

I see that you have been given your job assignment already. I will assume that you are happy and are happy now. But...I haven't seen any lyrics yet.
