Joost, I recall seeing Dave run you off the grid at the last event. My harness kept me from falling out of my car laughing. Good to see you step in on grid. Will you just the same grid method or some variation of van Gogh swirls?
Also in for TWS in Dec.

Or are you surprised by the new requirement. I guess you guys have not read the latest version of the DE handbook yet...

Sounds reasonable. I'll bring absinthe along with the usual bourbon and we'll see if we can get Joost to cut his ear off.

That was actually George Bingham telling me to **** off (not litterally) and go bother people at the concession stand instead of hanging out with the White run group that just gridded up....

As far as Van gogh goes, here's an interesting snippet:

"To be precise, it was the lobe of his left ear which he put into an
envelope and gave to a brothel wench named Rachel with
these words: "Guard this object carefully." After he tried to
drink a quart of turpentine in his studio, he was sent to the
asylum at Saint-Remy on May 7, 1889. The doctors began to
treat him with hydrotherapy for acute mania and epilepsy. A
precise diagnosis of Van Gogh's illness is still unavailable,
despite hundreds of conjectures. We do know a few facts:
Van Gogh suffered from syphilis contracted from prostitutes
off the docks at Antwerp; there was also a history of mental
illness in his family. Some physicians now believe Van Gogh
may have had a congenital brain lesion that was aggravated by
absinthe."

As far as I know, I do not suffer from any mental illnesses like mania or epilepsy, nor have I contracted syphillis, so Greg, bring on the absynth! In the mean time we'll try to keep grid's sanity.

LMMFAO!!!!!!

Good one, Greg!!!!!!


To correct for our good friend Joost's benefit, just substitute "Turpentine" for Bourbon and add "lobe" to ear and your're there.

Steve: lobe or globe?

Why exactly is Joost going to cut off his ear? Does he have some sort of thing for Mike Tyson? I mean it's just weird...

jsh

It's a Dutch thing.......

mglobe

He's Dutch? Really? I thought that was some sort of Jersey accent. I guess that explains why he keeps putting his finger in the urinal trying to keep the water from coming out of the wall. Should we tell him he doesn't need to do that?

Nice of them not to even mention this to the AI's.

Joost:
Please cite the Handbook section containing this requirement. I couldn't find it in the text. Further, the list of Oct08 Revisions (page 4) makes no mention of such a requirement.

No, but it will be real nice to know someone in management who will make sure that I always get to grid out first.

Blondurant

Is this something similar to Mav Region's yellow log book?

TR6

You mean the log books that they never seem to have copies of? Still waiting on mine.

Blondurant

I can get you one! I know the where-abouts to the secret stash.
