He was better foil for Bugs Bunny (more violent!) , but not as strong as a stand alone character like Fudd...

Okay, since this is the "Out of Town" thread, I must take this time to announce that I will be away from the forums for the remainder of the week as I will be in my nation's capitol for a web design conference. I may or may not check the forum (I will have high speed access and an iBook with me), but I cannot guarantee anything.

Time for you to play catch up motti.

I was wondering where you are right now, Bossk.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Indeed. Don't forget to flip Dubya the bird if you see him; on second thought, maybe not. The Secret Service might drag you away and detain you for questioning.

I'm sure some Secret Service are Democrats. Closet dems, but dems all the same.

Yes, it was fun. Rainy and shitty the first two days I was there but I was in a conference for that time so it didn't really matter. My wife came out on Thursday and it was warm and sunny from then through the rest of the weekend. Got back last night (Sunday).

Ah yes, the sun shines on her. But don't tell her that. Talk about ego boost.

Yes, I picked up some stuff from the conference that was useful. The only problem I see lies in that the place I work is pretty conservative and these ideas lend to some potential controversy. Not bad ideas, but they lend themselves to topics of discussion that some higher ed admins would rather avoid.

It would be nice. Unfortunately, I am very much in the minority.

But a road trip would solve that, no?
