I think you managed quite well without any help.

Dakar the Fourth · Jan 7, 2008, 02:21 PM

Yet you decided to chip in anyway.

Instead of the old "new Mac smell" you can choose to have your new Mac shipped with a variety of scents, including "Steve Jobs Summer", "Cupertino Cotton Breeze", and more. To be introduced at Macworld, along with eyeliner for your iMac.

Smart lady.

macforray · Jan 7, 2008, 09:43 PM

She's also on the BOD for GE, which happens to own NBC.

I was sure that I put a period at the end. Well not sure. But that's hat I had intended.

I don't know ... for a 51 year hold she's got a pretty rockin' bod there ....

Dakar the Fourth · Jan 8, 2008, 10:48 AM

The body looks solid, it's the Joker-meets-Sandra Oh face that's killing me. I imagine it mostly that shot.

I wonder if you guys would only be fighting about the new board member's looks if it was a Man.

Not sure, but there's only one way to find out.

design219 · Jan 9, 2008, 07:50 AM

Go for it brass! I'd like to see if Dakar feels remorse.

Well, I didn't see the other thrad. So at first glance, it was funny.

I'm glad your writers came up with a funny line like that...

Haha, you're shameless turtle. At first it's funny because it's directed at me, but when you find out I originally made the joke, then its not.

No, I genuinly thought it was funny.

With "at first glance" I meant that *I* had seen it for the first time, and hence, it was new and funny to me.
