What's really sad is that the news that Fugee's nephew came within 30 minutes of watching Tiger practice is the most interesting thing that's hit the board today.

Not sure why I'm Debunking Guy today, but:

Even with the rating he probably would have remained anonymous were it not for a profanity-filled letter to NBC Sports analyst John Madden, who helped EA Sports develop the game. The letter carried Albright's name on the bottom with the signature line "Rot in Hell" that made its way around the Internet. He did not write the letter and admits that when he first saw it, "I laughed my butt off."

I could tell you the story of the young female associate who walked into my office a bit ago, closed the door, walked around behind my desk and... figured out there was no reason to be there so instead sat in my guest chair while I briefed her about the matter.

Much more exciting, no?

Gosh, that wasn't a genuine letter? Thanks for the information, Ty. I hope you are this helpful at work, too.

Depends. What was she wearing?

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth

Anyone know anything about oil painting? If you want to give a gift to a beginner, is there a good one?

Someone just taking up oil painting? Find your nearest Utrecht store location. Great place. Usually staffed by art students.

There are a million things to get someone - you could get a nice easel, a paint box, some supplies to experiment with (like a whole bunch of different mediums and resins). My daughter got some plexiglass and translucent paints one trip (oils come in differing levels of opacity) and painted something like a stained glass window, and that was cool.

Let the art students guide you. Or just give a gift certificate. If the person is a true beginner, discovering a really good art store is a thrill in itself.

and, not to fight the hypo, but acrylics are much easier and much less frustrating for a beginner.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth

Any recommendations for bottled tomato sauce that contains meat? I could probably handle adding some cooked Italian Sausage, but I am not up to fully homemade sauce. It will be going over a long pasta and sliced greens of some kind.

I have already thought of Progresso Sausage.

There are acrylic people and oil people. They don't mix and they don't convert.

I'm an oil person. I can only use acrylics for silk screening and block printing. I can't understand how one can paint with them.
