Did you ever consider an alternative career path?
When I was younger and more impressionable, I thought theater arts might be a great career path. I was also very close to applying to the law school for a JD to go with my MAcc.
How many time zones have you lived in and what is your current time zone?
Three. Mountain, Pacific, and the one just east of Eastern. Currently in Mountain.
Are you looking forward to Wuap's welcome question and what do you think it will be?
I guess so. It will probably be about the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow.
Do you expect anyone to respond to this thread?
Only if they want to add to what is destined to become the premier thread in Ellis Island."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Pelado, perhaps you were unaware, but you are free to post in other threads now.
Most of the heavy lifting is done: you did the self-introduction thing and you also made the obligatory post about potatoes.
Go try your hand at some of the other topics. Run and be free.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

You guess so, McFly? Answer the following question very carefully, remembering that you're already on unauthorized-edits thin ice, because our future dealings on this site may depend, in large part, on your response to this:
Guess Jeans, featured in countless 80's pop culture hits, like Back to the Future, and an episode of The Charmings, wherein the dad, predictably, asked the daughter what kind of jeans she was wearing, and she responded, "Guess?" Hilarity ensued. Guess Jeans has sued several people for defamation over accusations that they used sweatshops and violated workers rights around the globe. A particularly effective and clever ad featured blue-jean-manufacturer-hating band Rage Against Machine (remember the "Everybody in Denial" mock Gap ad video?) claiming that Guess? Jeans treated its workers unjustly, with the tagline: Injustice. Don't Buy It. The owners of the brand, the Marciano family, also own the Marciano clothing line. Rocky Marciano beat Joe Louis's ass in a fight, but some contend that compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't shit. This same conversation can be heard in Eddie Murphy's late 80's vehicle, Coming to America. That endlessly quotable film features such lines as "Right now, I'm washing lettuce, pretty soon I'll be on fries," "*&^% you, *&^% you, and *&^% you, Who next?" and the always sure-to-please, "Give it up for Sexual Chocolate!" At one point in the film, a distraught Eddie Murphy heir-to-the-throne character gives a large sum of cash to two street bums played by Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy. Any student of Murphy's films will recognize them as Randolph and Mortimer Duke. The line, uttered by Bellamy, "We're back!" carried such promise for a sequel to Trading Places, but, alas, death claimed them both before anything was done. So, the question remains, had they lived, what would've happened in the Trading Places sequel?Last edited by wuapinmon; 06-22-2011, 07:27 PM."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well.

The story begins with Randolph and Mortimer counting the money received from an African prince in a McDowell's fast food restaurant. They are engaging in another $1 bet, though we don't immediately know what the bet is about.
After getting cleaned up and back into some respectable attire, Randolph and Mortimer then try to get back into the agricultural futures market, attempting to gain favor with the now abundantly wealthy firm of Valentine and Winthorpe. They endeavor to prove they are worthy of trust by completing a variety of tasks. The tasks are at first simple but menial - including something with gorillas. With each successfully completed task, the brothers receive more difficult assignments with greater responsibilities and increased comedic possibilities.
In the final scenes, after the Duke brothers have learned humility and all that crap, Valentine and Winthrope forgive them for their prior misdeeds. Once the brothers are alone again, Mortimer hands his brother a dollar.
Probably a good thing they didn't make the movie."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"
