-slack

+ a nod of agreement on JonWil's remark.

 

[dbl]

No offense, but "drinking the kool aid" is a widespread internet/media remark and isn't a Brian-ism.

 

[birdie_man]

Fair enough, technically. It is very often relevant though.

 

[JonWil]

yea, but Brian said it first!....... well perhaps not - but he should have.

 

[birdie_man]

-The Magic Line?

Or is that a Doyle-ism?

 

[JonWil]

Conk your coconut.

 

[Brian Manzella]

-The Magic Line?

Or is that a Doyle-ism?

No, that's a Manzella-ism.

 

[Steve Greffen]

De-Junk. Watching Soft Draw Pattern and I saw the User name as dejunku and thought it may of been a coincindence but then knew it couldnt of been. Not with Mr. Manzella's humor!

You should get yourself a handshake too like Gregg McHatton. It is "memorable"!

 

[PChandler]

Tilt the teacup

 

[Steve Greffen]

Thumbs up, thumbs down...Shoot the blood out! Great visual and again "memorable" which is helpful while learning/teaching.
