Oh, and I checked with my boss.  No Sly or tweety bird.  But I guess that makes sense because there are no polite people at Ford who are allowed to interact with me.

However, I do think there are a couple of points to be made here:

1. I jacked this thread asking Meford a question about a colleague. Subsequent to that the author of this thread explicitly encouraged the off-topic repartee to continue.

2. Participation is one thing ... complaining about it with the intention of trying to limit or restrict the expression of others is something different.

You might want to re-read the comments and picture two big (and older than you) guys laughing heartily while saying the words - we might even re-create it at the BBQ.

Look forward to meeting you there.

I know Sylvester exists because I've sat in his car and talked to him ... I even have pictures.

The fact that you don't know him, and your boss denies any knowledge of him, actually gives me some hope about the state of affairs at OAC (or is it OTP) ...

anyway ... management and responsible union types have obviously identified Sylvester as someone to protect and keep away from unsavoury influences.

And to that point - I've fixed your sentence below.

Personally, I think them going at each other with Nerf bats would be more entertaining to watch. :lol:

Okay, what say we go in 50-50 on a pair of Nerf bats and let them at each other on Saturday? I'm sure there's a Wal-Mart near the school to grab 'em from... :lol:

I'm SO bringing the video camera this year, and perhaps DVD authoring will only take me a week or two. :rolleyes:
