Mata Hari, Grace Kelly, and that painter that Salma Hayack made a movie about. Any of the three would be fine (if we’re talking SH for Freida, that is). ---

Hmmmph! Leonardo is turning out to be the Scott Baio of his time. I also got Valentino. (He was gay? :eek: ) And Van Gogh. Meh, not exactly a soul mate in there far as I can tell. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Draelin] Billy the Kid, da Vinci, and Van Gogh … one of these things is not like the other … [/QUOTE] Well, I’ve always heard that Van Gogh fella didn’t like his mama too much… 😃 ---

[QUOTE=The Weird One] **Spats** , but how are they going to give me the job if they’re all dead? [/QUOTE] It’s quite simple. If they’re all dead, you get the job by default, since there’s no one else to do it. ---

I got da Vinci, Edgard Allen Poe, or Vincent Van Gogh. Poe’s stories are nice but I think he’s a maniac, and Van Gogh just didn’t have a very good life. I’ll take da Vinci, please. ---

Eeeww. I just thought it would have been fun to take part in some of his experiments. Oh, now that sounds really dirty in context…I just mean some of his flying experiments…no, some of his scientific experiments… Oh, never mind. ---

I got left at work (again) when a trade show is in town. (Big Fat Paulie gets to go to all of them. He’s got the same heavy Brooklyn accent that Matt Dillon does, and is as charming as Joe Pesci in _Goodfellas_) But my boss just called, and said he wrangled an extra ticket for the after-show get together on the beach at the Amphib Base, and that I should meet them all down there after work. So I got that going for me today. Just a couple of more hours here, then it’s sipping beer and networking with people. Hooray beer! ---

Well, I finally broke down and called an orthopedics practice. Gonna get my shoulder looked at on July 6. They couldn’t schedule me for anything before my nephew shows up on the 22nd, so I told then I’d have to wait till after the 4th. I hope they can help me - I’m tired of hurting all the time. In other news, um, there is no other news. Just another boring Wednesday. I’m thinking I’ll run the vacuum to suck up all the doggy cookie crumbs. And I might dust. Yep, that’s as exciting as it gets. _\_ ---

[QUOTE=Spatial Rift 47] It’s quite simple. If they’re all dead, you get the job by default, since there’s no one else to do it. [/QUOTE] I like the way you think. 😃 I’ve been limping around all day because last night I injured my pinky toe in a toenail-trimming accident. In other news, I will no longer use a hunting knife to trim my toenails. ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] I just stopped in to say _ **Aaaargh** _ We now resume your regularly scheduled MMP [/QUOTE] Ditto. I’ve been doing an agenda and printing big maps for my meeting tonight. We (as in I and the commitee I headed all year) made a recommendation that would result in about 100 kids walking to school instead of taking the bus. In other words, to do what every other kid in the district that loves within the established walk distance does now. From the phone calls and e-mails, you’d think I proposed making them dance at a Duke lacrosse party…(cheap shot, eh?). In any case the board has to approve it, but meanwhile we’re having an “informational” meeting tonight. Someone have any kevlar for me? ---

I have a question. Where the heck’s **welby** been? **Ex** too (that’s **Exgineer** for all the new cool kids) too. Oh and **Shibb** (who I met this past weekend, YAY!). I mean, we all know why **Rue** can’t post as often, but what about those guys? Where y’all hiding? Makes me think about **Kallessa** too. She’s part of my sig and she’s disappeared too. Do we have some kind of MMP Cool Kids black hole suckin’ people up into the void here? Come Out! Come Out! Wherever y’all are! Oh and **Ashes[sup]2[/sup]** too. Who else is missing lately? ---
