Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

such style - 100% Pure TheDirector™

given the smackie + director combo, no bonus points for guessing what kind of a club it was.

Venerable and I have a friend who works for Lucas Arts and told us about this a while ago. Looks like it's finally coming to fruition.

nkotb, you should sit down before clicking that link.

Wowzers. I'm STOKED for that.

Smackie has missed you Thomas Friedman. It's good to have you back…

Dumb as we Wanna Be
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

It is great to see that we finally have some national unity on energy policy. Unfortunately, the unifying idea is so ridiculous, so unworthy of the people aspiring to lead our nation, it takes your breath away. Hillary Clinton has decided to line up with John McCain in pushing to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline, 18.4 cents a gallon, for this summerâ??s travel season. This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks. What a way to build our country.

When the summer is over, we will have increased our debt to China, increased our transfer of wealth to Saudi Arabia and increased our contribution to global warming for our kids to inherit.

As always, there's more...

Brilliant as usual.

(Friedman, not smackie ;) )

Shocker.

Orange County: It's not like what you see on TV

The reality of a real-estate industry in the tank, job losses, foreclosed homes and empty office space is a far cry from the glitz and fantasy of popular TV shows set in the California county.

Sometimes, people from the OC write articles like that to pretend that they're just like everybody else in this country.

We all know the truth though. It's right there on the screen.

Sprint Nextel to spin off WiMax network

I think this is good as both a Sprint Customer and some one who wants WiMax. Even better if the Cable Co.'s invest to pick up the loss of some Sprint funding.

hmmm, i wonder what are the odds that pepco will consider wimax for any upgrades in their utility meters/distribution system (california utilities considered wimax too expensive for their meter communication platform). i think bags may be the only person who knows what that sentence means.

Disparage me in my own thread do you?

The board is full of douchebaggery today, so I'm going to tell a story about yesterday.

I'm minding my own business at my desk when I receive a text message from my Token Black Friend.

So I just *happened* to be in the Farragut area 4 work & I just *happened* to walk into [the club]. [The Bartender]'s body is crazy too. I'm weak.;-)

After insulting my good friend for being somewhere I wished to be at, I aksed him to tell her I said hello.

Sure will. Cues up Mental iPod Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here"

After advising him to not play that in the club, I wished him well and to enjoy himself.

Sometime (the exact amount is not to be expressed here) passes, and I receive a picture mail text. Now, I know my friend knows the rules so he must have gotten permission, but if your last text was from your buddy at a club and then you get a picture mail, naturally smackie gets a little excited.

Open the message and sure enough, it's a picture of my friend with the smokin hot bartender outside the club.

Being the classy guy that I am, I tell my friend how much I hate him. Then how much I think he's the man.

Oh no. YOU are the man. I am just..wait for it..The Director.

Beaming with glee all day at my friend's accomplishment, I take smackette to dinner and fill her on the story over a High Life. Upon showing her the picture, she smiles and says "how cute, they even have their 'Jungle Fever' hands together" I'm not one to waste The High Life, but even I spit out a little there.

I'm pretty sure The Director is still laughing at that comment. Jungle Fever Hands. Classic.

So, that begs the question. The bartender in a gentelemans club is either the hottest girl in the club or the oldest and usually a retired performer. Ignoring the old one, is the bartender at a gentlemans club the hottest because:

</font>

• &lt;font size="2" face="Arial, Veranda"&gt;she's the only one with something left to the imagination&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
• &lt;font size="2" face="Arial, Veranda"&gt;her morals are slightly corrupted in that she works at a strip joint but not corrupted enough to be a stripper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
• &lt;font size="2" face="Arial, Veranda"&gt;or something else brilliant that Smackie's not thinking about&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

<font size="2" face="Arial, Veranda">
I pose that to the group to discuss.

Story would be better if you included said picture.
