Sorry guys. They have me working three (3) different forums right now. And my boss is breathing down my neck.

Also?? I have to give a presentation in a few hours and Powerpoint keeps giving me a fatal exception error which means I’m gonna have to use an overhead projector and transparencies and magic markers and… Last time I did that, the jerks in Frustration Research made “dick” shadows on my “They Took The Bait, Now Roll With It!” slide.

This thread is enjoyed maximally if one assumes that the OP’s nephew is Gob Bluth.

In this case the mistake isn’t so huge, 8 or 9 pounds at birth ain’t that big.
