Somebody draw in a silver goatee on this kid.

For either of these, I would have to shave. Not gonna happen.

Polk, Patch, whomever else that gets to come down, I hope you aren't going to be too embarrassed to walk around with me.  Or go to a restaurant away from the con with a chick in a pink wig.

That's even more incentive for me to make a trip out to Texas this year. On the down side, there's not a single male character from Jem that I could cosplay worth a damn.

Well, you could gender-bend Pizzazz or something.

But it's more fun if we're all different.  Patch should go as Nick Fury or Snake Plissken, or even Captain Mal.  

Somebody could go as the Dude, and wear your bathrobe.

Sounds like this woman is a bad spender.  She doesn't understand how to control her spending and when it comes to OPM (other people's money) she's horrendous.  The failing farm may be a stick in the mud, but she's a busted fire hydrant which is ruining the foundation.

They are not toys, they are model kits, old man.

It's a ridiculous movie, but still fun to watch. It helps that Meg Ryan is in it and her smile is cute as can be.

She is going to be in for a surprise when she gets her reimbursement, since we do not reimburse in excess of the per diem.

I have a funny Per Diem story. I was with a GPS start up back in the 90's. It was crazy the amount of money they had coming and going. Three of us in the installation group were there from the start so we open ended expense accounts. I went into home depot one time and walked out with $15000 in tools. Our boss loved team building dinners, usually at Hooters, that would have a massive bill at the end of the night. We had to account and explain all the charges, and since he was the boss, his team building was approved.
I never pushed it. If I needed something I got it, if my techs needed something they got it. So I never got in any trouble about my account.

My buddy Jeff was the third on our team. He pushed it until it broke. Strip club, shopping sprees, crazy fuel charges. At first they brought him in and warned him. Then they made him pay back what wasn't accepted. Then they finally took his cards when he put new tires for his dune buggy, on their account.
