It took me a while, but I figured it out. Those NBA players must be Mensa members. The player of average intellect would think the opposing team would attempt to throw the ball inbound to another player (perhaps the best player on the other team) in an attempt to score points. Yet, the Hornet players, obviously thinking at a much higher level, saw that the super devious and conniving Lakers were far too smart to try something so dastardly simple. No, they knew Kobe and crew had developed a play that would test the best basketball minds in the world. Trained for years and paid millions of dollars to expect the worst, the Hornets had the best defense ready. Unfortunately, the Lakers one-upped them with an even more insane play--the evil "Throw-it-to-your-best-player-toward-the-opponent's-basket-and-score" play. Pure genius!

How about the first 30 minutes of Full Metal Jacket? Private Pile and the Jelly Donut scene is a classic!

I am a new hire. I was hired almost three years ago. My new hire class just lost a 3rd guy to Fed Ex. He couldn't wait on the Governor's decision. He decided to make a break for it. Run Forrest Run!

OR...if you don't want to end up looking like SD, you could go to the gym while you are waiting, and work on your Grunts!

Yes this does make one wonder if they were watching backyard ball or "reel lif pro'fessonals"

Too bad there isn't a better way of doing things that would be more predictable, not only for bids, but for knowing when your training will happen and when your bid is effective.

Yes, I'm certain I've read about that somewhere before...

Which class? Sept 6th has lost 3 as well to SWA and Fedex. Patience Luke! Don't give in to hate!

I personally don't get the attraction to FedEx. Yes, they make more money than we do. A lot more actually. (Cue sailing to tell us "Yeah but when you add in the value of our non-rev benefits, we're way above them.")

But seriously, I really wonder about all that back side of the clock flying. Those guys age fast. I wonder if there have been any longevity studies on FedEx/UPS pilots. I don't think the results would be pretty.
