What memo or meeting did the back pack thing come from? I feel like I missed a glorious inside joke.

SD said, "Stay Humble" and about a week later, Richard said we need to keep our backpacks on...

It was on Delta Net for a week, about two months ago I think.

Now I've got a backpack full of humble, but no real retirement plan.

At least Richard and Steve are getting paid!

While we got 3% of the 42% back; Whoo Fking Hoo!

Stay Humble? You sure it wasn't " Stay Thirsty,"

or possibly "Stay Frosty."

You know the most interesting man in the world or perhaps David Lee Roth?

Scoop.

I remember the stay humble thing, I just never saw where the backpack thing originated from. Thanks!

How's that torpedo treating you tonight? I saw that sam adams just came out with a hoppier IPA. I'm going to have to check that out.

Is that their Rebel IPA? If so, I did a taste test about two weeks ago, vs. the Torpedo. I poured the two, side by side, and then sipped them, alternating one sip of each until they were gone.

The Torpedo was just a tiny bit hoppier, and it is 7.2%, vs. the Rebel IPA, which poured a shade lighter, was very good, smooth, and 6.5%. If I can't find Torpedo, I'll buy the Rebel. But if they are both on the shelf, at the same price, I'll get the Torpedo.

Quick question....

Anyone who has converted to a new category lately remember how much notice you were given before officially starting training?

I've seen my projected training date, but was just curious as to how early I could expect to get the official training schedule. I'd figure at least a month or so, but not sure.

I remember "stay humble", and I remember getting teary-eyed over the backpack story (and who can forget gatehouse PA's?), but I don't remember "greed". Not since it was mentioned by Gordon Gecko.

What was said about greed?
