Yep. I wish they wouldn't hire without the requisite mins, there are enough qualified guys out there. I wish you guys would stress that to your HR and you might have to actively recruit to dispell Fedex's percieved corporate culture. Don't wish to re-stir the pot on this one. Hope you still have 28pts in you "Bird". I played in Newark for Weequaic, sat the bench. Godspeed.

I figured you'd guys would try the personal attack. I do love children, but not in the context of which you speak. I told the wife a childish attack was coming and I was right.
As far as Vanilla Ice, well, sorry folks but he could rap ... then again I like Tom Jones so maybe my ears are tainted. Things started going down hill for Rip when he lied about sampling that one Queen/ Bowie song, "Under Pressure." One of the most famous base lines in history.

I don't care who you are, that's funny. Captain Mark, Flappy, B Sweeny, you gents have a good one. I'll look for you boys this summer. I shouldn't be hard to miss. Just look for the BIG BLACK
Softail Classic with a 101st Airborne type screaming Eagle airbrushed on the tank. See ya around.

Odd the person who started this thead had it responded to exactly one minute later. Coincidence? Don't think so. Then the thread starter replies seven minutes later? We don't need a black box, accident investigation team, or NTSB board to figure this one out. A blind man can see through this tangled web. Give it a rest, dude.
Haven't you figured it out? It will never be good enough and there will always be someone to tear another down. The perps are always out to stir up hate and discontent.

I myself am shocked at all the replies this question has received and the direction the thread has gone. All I was looking for was a few answers from a few different angles and in a sense I guess I did receive just that. If there are a few shortcuts I can use to make my life easier, then you'd better bet I'm going to try them. I am playing to WIN, I am not trying to play nice or fair. And if there are no ways I am able to shorten my road to the big planes/airlines then I guess I'll have to "play by the rules". Anyways.....yeah...that's all I wanted. On the other hand I do find it very interesting....the views some people may have about minorities, especially me being one myself.
