QuoteAnd this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you.

My answer is simple.......not well,as someone found out two weeks ago after I ripped him a new asshole for being a dick.I felt better after and much to my surprise I still have a job!Someimes you just gotta be honest not only with yourself,but with others.If they don't like ..........too bad.time for a beer.

Teddy, we should open up a Duc/KTM dealership down here and put SS out of business! 

Alex could make tiramisu for the customers and we could give free donuts to the guys that buy bikes, that way they will have them available for on here.  ;)

Make it donuts and beer and you've got a safehouse for all other Monster forum former members.   [laugh]

Nu, nu vorbesc Romanesta (sp?)

I love it there, though.  Got by with a phrase book, and a full-time translator.  [laugh]  If I couldn't live here; I'd live there...beautiful city, beautiful people, loved it all.

Where all did you visit?  My wife (Alex) is from Braila, which is about three hours east south-east of Bucharest.

I was consulting on a project in Bucharest so, that's pretty much where I stayed.  But my hosts, and my translator, took me all over the City and showed me all the wonders of Bucharest.  First time in a former-East Bloc country; very interesting.

Yea, I lived in Europe for almost eight years, and met my wife there.  It's a great place to be, and I sure liked living there better than living here in Hawai'i.

Well, I cannot comment on that, but it was damned cultural.

If I had to pick a place in Europe, that would be it.  The coffee was to die for. [coffee] :o
