^ Wow, that must have been epic! Too bad that was in the days before YouTube.
We're an odd couple when it comes to cookies. My wife loves to bake cookies. She has made donzens of recipes out of the King Arthur Cookie Companion. She also loves to eat them, but doesn't have the willpower to have a batch of cookies sitting around. I don't really like sweets, so I may have one or two.

So she'll spend an afternoon slaving in the kitchen to make batch after batch, only to give them all away to people she or I work with. :screwloose:
it's about enjoying the time to bake the stuff. I'm the same way I like baking sort of hobby type thing. Especially around halloween/thanksgiving. I make pumpkin pies but I will not eat them, they are for work. I can't wait for autumn. The apples from the tree in our backyard made absolutely one of the most delicious french apple slices I've ever made. I only wish i knew what kind of apple trees they were. ones produces green apples the other red, that is all i know.

They suck. My sister started a chain reaction puke in her 1st grade class because of one of those. Eight kids involved altogether.
Remember the absorbent material they used for cleanup? Pink stuff that smelled like peppermint. To this day anything that smells close makes me think of that stuff.

 
Best poll yet.

What about the long lost Shemp? Ahh, don't worry about him, no one would vote for him anyway.

 
How did I miss out on this gem?!!

Intech .. very well played.

Dleg - you need to provide details for how we can get our hands on this super-secret Marianna's Island Hot Sauce. :)

Is there a new poll?

^^ Send me an air permitting specialist!

(I interviewed a woman from NY who seemed good, but getting anyone to actually pack up their life and move way out here is the biggest challenge.)

Would this job allow telecommuting?

If so, I think I could do the air permitting at night and keep my current day job as I have learned how to do school and work without sleep.

:construction:

 
I'm so desperate I might go for that, if only you were qualified & experienced... But unfortunately, I think it's one of those jobs that requires boots on the ground. I've already got a PhD air consultant at my beck and call in HI, but it just doesn't work out that well since I am still the guy who has to field all the phone calls, respond to the "my neighbor is burning his trash again!" calls, and face the scumbag politicians when I won't let XYZ corporation run their apshalt batch plant/4MW diesel generation system/ hazardous waste incinerator without a permit "on a trial basis just to test it out, only for the next 4 years".

My neighbor's burning his trash again...can I shoot him?

I could totally rock that job. The last company I worked for I got to field a lot of citizen complaints. I was awesome at it and always got the tough ones passed on to me. Too bad it's so far away.
