Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

I heard at practice last night the guy didn't die so that's good.

Maybe he was so horribly injured, disfigured, and crippled that it would have been a blessing to die, though.

You could say the same for this entire conversation...

I'm sure Brklyn has been to the Caribbean? We go every year and venture out of the resorts where all the fat old people are and head to the beach bars around town....primo!

Oh yes, indeed, I've been to the Caribbean. I almost died off the coast of St. Barths, actually (weird feeling thinking you are about to drown...kinda claustrophobic). I love almost every island for the different flavors of talent you get out there.

I was not a fan of the US Virgin Isles, though. Sint Maarten was sick.

I was in St. Maarten's last year. Plan to go to St. Thomas this year since I've never been. Are you saying I'll be disappointed?

I don't want to poison the water, so I'll just say my experience wasn't phenomenal. I preferred other islands much more than St. Thomas.

Fire away, I tried to come up with a comment myself after you posted, but I'm drawing a blank.

that GSA scandal worked out to about $2700 a person if I heard the numbers correctly.

For a week long conference at a resort, that is a bit high but not crazy, but throw in Vegas and that seems right.

They are talking about the lavish room the guy had on a scouting trip but those rooms are always comped by the hotel.

I'm not defending it, my company will not allow an employee conference in Vegas, Tahoe, New Orleans, Orlando, Manhantten and a few other places, even if the cost is cheaper just because it looks like a boondoggle, but I'm going to a customer conference in two weeks at Vegas and just to get there and get registered I've already spent $1800. I'll spend another $1K on hotel and food without even touching on booze and entertainment.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

You don't work in gov't though...it's ripe for commentary about overspending.

I was dying laughing because the guy who ran the dept got a $9K bonus and people were pointing to that amount as excessive.

I would kill my boss if he tried to pay me 9K. Literally. Kill.

I interviewed a guy the other day who owns an oil company in Ga. (among other ventures) that did $6 billion in revenues last year. he attended HS here and was back for a reunion. he's almost 80 now. he got his start selling anti-freeze on the side because he had 3 kids by the time he was 24. they quit selling him whole antifreeze because he was outselling any Citgo distributor and the division manager offered him an oil company to run. so he did.

The GSA thing has been the talk of the office this morning. Apparently I'm not the only one who is scratching their head over an $800K bill for 300 people in Vegas being considered excessive.
