Leo waves at Mike.
Reign of terror no longer a threat to the mighty top ten. Marc, you can relax, at least concerning my threat. Witenoiz will pass me before I can flank you. I'll be shutting down and packing my home computers on July 26. I won't be setting them up again until sometime in September.
Witenoiz, I'm counting on you to take the torch of terror from me and charge through the ranks.
I had really wanted to be in the top-ten again; last time was about 18 months ago, if I remember correctly. May I toot my own horn? Consolation is that I am in the top ten now - production rate, that is. :bigggrin:

Hat's off to all of you superlative Folders!!
Leo I feel so bad, I don't know what to do! You have been my inspiration since I first joined ShortMedia :sad2: I am seriously thinking of shutting down some of my farm so you can make it to the top 10 - or maybe put Leonardo in as my user name NOT :woowoo: I picked up the torch - good luck in the move and come back soon. Jackl
If YOU do, be advised... I have a local shop that will match anything I can buy from NewEgg - no tax, I just have to pick it/them up! I can be truly devious! Jack

Hmm, maybe I can topple Marc before Witenoiz runs me over, and before I have to shut down Folding rigs.
I have no chance against the mighty Master and Commander Leonardo the Magnifi-can't And thank you Stanford for the 20 or so 46 point Gromac things! This could be a close race - what's that music I hear - it's Mark Wills "And The Crowd Goes Wild!" This was the 9:00 a.m, update Jack
You guys are starting to sound like Hitler and Stalin getting ready to carve up Poland...
Poor mmonnin - :Pwned: AND :screwed:
...to continue the analogy, I guess I would play the part of one of the Baltic states - easy meat seized early on in the struggle... :bawling:

I got to thinking about this and really we/I should show a little respect here for the object of this little game. Poor mmonnin - I seem to be forgetting this is a real person and we are going to stomp him and grind him into a puddle of goooeey gunk and walk all over him and track him into our businesses and homes like gum or doggie doo that gets stuck to our shoes. This is no way to treat a fellow folder. I didn't think it was even a remote possibitlitous that mmonnin would be disregarded in such a calous mannor. I hope this is noted in your list of people to get even with Marc - I am the good guy here Jack
PS - We need a speel chekerr - I am having probms with my key bored.

True, but we're talking real world here! Marc will be the stronger for it - testing and building character (and all that).

One difference: I'll cut and run before I'm double-crossed by the Third Reich. Witenoiz will take Poland, but my troops will already begun retrograde operations.

Marc already has the character thing under control.
“The measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out.”

I was going to use a quote from Woodrow Wilson - but I don't know what a "prig" is. Jack

OOPS!! Now I might get in trouble - better take a stand and use it.
“If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.”
— Woodrow Wilson, 28th American president (1856-1924)
Checking sources for definition of prig - no help so far. Jack
1. A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety, especially in an irritatingly arrogant or smug manner.
2. Chiefly British. A petty thief or pickpocket.
3. Archaic. A conceited dandy; a fop.

Witenoiz. You had better start seriously training your soldiers; and send the women and children to a safe haven. The Mongol Hordes will be at your gates, even after your victory against Leo's and Mmonnin's armies.!

I might be a fop, but I ain't no conceited dandy! The women and children are in safe haven and I am putting an advertisement in the paper to buy a 'seriously training your soldiers' type of person to come over here and barricade the gates! And I am not letting up! FULL SPEED AHEAD! Jack

My sources tell me Leonardo has been recruiting various and sundry groups in and around Augusta to fold for him in a desperate effort to gain 3,000 points (Remember I have to gain 13,0000 points) and has been turned down by the Girl Scouts of America, The August Augusta Matrons Bridge Club, and The Sunnyvale Retirement Center - BUT Ernie's Weekend Lemonade and Kool Aide Stand is kicking in his folks Premier 200 AT - but they need to find a 5 1/4 floppy boot disk for it.
We now pause for station identification, "This is the witenoiz folding Network, broadcasting from our new channel position 18 - we have FCC approval for channel 17 - Please adjust your remote control at this time." :Rocker: Thanks - Jack

Well, I went to the local hardware store where I live in Grovetown ("Grooveytown"). I struck up a conversation inside (too dang hot to set out on the porch in a rocking chair in front). Folding? No one could understand why I would do that. They all thought I was talking about "one of them skinny computers that you fold up and flip down that little TV screen" (pronounced scrayin).

You know, that's the main reason this team performs so well - it's highly competitive, but with good sense of humor.
Rock on Team 93! :Rocker:

I think Jack may be onto something.
