Bogart's in Dunnellon, Florida was a waste of time. the had CRAP for cigars. a lot of Acids, and a bunch of cheap generic Famous 2nds. gave the guy my list and he had never heard of any of them except he know what JdN were. Tampa/Tarpon Springs tomorrow if the traffic doesn't piss me off too much.

Moral of the story, don't bogart a crap cigar, go to tampon springs and piss on traffic.

Thanks for the recap.  LOL!

Clearly, work is providing me insufficient cognitive stimulation.

I have to write my goals for the year.  They're due in the next couple of hours.  Here's what I got so far...

Effective Communications:
Login to CigarBanter.com on a daily basis and interact with fellow degenerates for 6 hours per day discussing anything except cigars.  We can effectively measure how well I'm doing by the number of folks offended by my posts.  (Updated it to be more specific.  They like that.)

...If I do it for 8 hours per day I will be sure to exceed expectations.   

So let me see if I understand, Anthony...You're proposing to allocate three quarters of your work hours to collaborating with other subject matter experts and streamline staffing by encouraging those who feel threatened by plain-talk to pursue other opportunities within the corporate structure.  Do I have that right?

Allow me to congratulate you for your initiative, Tony.  We've decided to make you a vice-president.

Get it all hot before the land lady comes around!   

What was that Frank Zappa song...hmm...ah! Got it.

 "Dean's got a sausage
 That'll make you fart
 Dean's got a sausage
 That'll break
 Your heart
 Make you fart
 And break your heart
 Don't bend over
 If you are smart..."

you just scared Dad away.

that's not necessarily a bad thing....

Giving me heartburn on the other side of the country.  Throw another on, I'll catch a flight.

got 6 so there's plenty.

I swear, one of these days I'm going say that, wait for you to invite me, then come rolling into your trailer park five minutes later on my Harley just to mess with your head.

Just have a live camera feed going so we can see the 'mind blown' facial expression in real life. 
Or better yet, we all go to FL, then show up one day - banter is dead quiet, Dean posting, no one responding...we all roll in!

No, we have to post, to lull him into a false sense of security, I'll bring the gurkha...

I was going to say "...pursue a policy of attrition for personnel that respond negatively to the technical argot inherent to our industry."  But the State of Washington has a strict plain-talk policy, and that didn't survive the checklist.

And I shit you not, here's the checklist:

I'm under 65, but I have a strong stomach, and I have reached an age where I can see that some of those women were real mind-blowers in their day.

I didn't realize you were a White House staffer.

Possible I did too, in San Francisco in the mid-1980's.   You could still catch burlesque shows then.

You sure it wasn't a whitehouse.com address?
