No, no, no. Whatever you do, **do not** let Omni show you the secret handshake. Trust me, you will thank me later 🙂 ---

Let’s see how many rounds it takes before the “secret handshake” sounds like a good idea, shall we? ---

bumpita bumpita Hey, Nymysys, I keep seeing the BMG Intel commercials, and I have to ask you (a really annoying question that you’ve probably been asked 1000 times) - how do they make themselves so freakin’ blue? ---

Well, the hands are blue gloves, but the face is all a custom-made greasepaint. BMG is the only one that gets that color. And that’s all I can say unless you want me to kill you. 😃 ---

Which reminds me - I’m not sure how many people saw Dinsdale’s happy birthday thread, but I think Dopers with access to the Loop are meeting Friday, 12/22/00, 1:00 p.m., Berghoff Standup Bar on Monroe. Carry on, android and Nymysys. My work here is done. ---

Absolutely, Mag. I thought I was jam-packed in my schedule this weekend, but I had both my tonight (Sat.) and tomorrow plans cancel on me. I’ve got a full wet bar, so you’re more than welcome to come over here, too. Hell, invite people if you want. I’m easy to get along with. 😃 I _didn’t_ see the b-day thread. I have a band that I HAVE to go see that night, but maybe I can stop by before and/or after. Lemme find that thread… ---
