My favorite story to tell Tad....haha - George Smith
I will, George. :) - Mona Nomura
Obviously Tad's read it ;-) #12 almost happened to me, except it was a project for a class in high school. The teacher left the item for me the morning of graduation. Worst of all, it was an elective I was taking pass fail =P - FFing Enigma
Yay...because man, that was a lot of work. And I saved everyone time and money because now you don't have to buy my memoirs.... - George Smith
George, #12 is exactly my story. I got a D in 2nd semester French for the same reason, and I have never been so happy to have a D. - ha3rvey ($10 HUGS!!!)
We needed C's to pass! I actually took my teacher out to dinner where we ordered and talked only in Spanish for extra credit to make sure I would pass!!!! - George Smith
What are you talking about, George, of COURSE people are going to read it. And who knew you worked for Crocs??? - Derrick
Half my tweets on twitter are about Crocs and I shared Wayne Sutton's interview of me...I thought I bombard people with ugly shoes all day long! lol - George Smith
really interesting!!! - CJ
Great, another Coloradan. I have to say that #22 is a bit disconcerting :-) If you ever need some 'no limit', transferable passes for Eldora, give me a heads up and we can make it happen. [Edit] I meant borrow for the day ;) - coldbrew
Thanks for the offer!! If I ever have TIME to ski, I'd totally be down. I work too much tho. Plus I don't even own ANY ski equipment. Heck - I don't even own a pair of gloves! When it's 60+ degrees in Boulder in January - who needs gloves! lol - George Smith
Sure was a nice day. I hear you on the work schedule, though I thought public companies were less intense. - coldbrew
No. 17 has been by far one of the best nuggest I have read so far! And yeah, I can so relate to No. 25 (http://bit.ly/MrGR). - JA Castillo
There's more to that story too but that's the summary of it. - George Smith
