I had thought it was perhaps some description of a sexual activity by Akim that Brian had stated was impossible from an engineering perspective. Yet Akim had pulled it off. Or somethimg remotly simular.

I just have to get my mind out of the gutter. Wait, politics are even lower come to think of it. So I really do understand your concern.
If so there would be pictures and proof that it was done with PPV for the video.

Unfortunately, most people cannot handle the truth and want the polite words.

As long as we're publicly sucking-up ....

I think it is an unexpected side of Aklim to see that he approves and applauds such an old-fashioned, anachronistic sentiment as honor. Aklim, where have you been hiding this?

Wouldn't sucking up be reserved for when that person you suck up to can do you major favors? Not sure what BC can do for me at this time.

I happen to appreciate being able to count on a person to do as they say. Sadly, that is a scarce trait and we have total inconsistency where you say one thing but do another. To that end. I'd much rather have an employee that is consistent but not stellar as opposed to a stellar employee that performs when they feel like it. I have always appreciated it when someone can do something on principle and be consistent as opposed to a "definite maybe". I prefer to work off principles as opposed to "as the spirit moves me".

Anybody can say that they are principled and actually carry it out when it suits them. Carrying it out when it is AGAINST you is more difficult. Everyone can support the SCOTUS when they rule the way they think. At which time, the SCOTUS is full of saints. When they are ruled against, the SCOTUS is full of scum. Consistency.

I got no argument with any of that, Aklim. Laud and magnify thy name.

After this week, I respect him more. Love? Don't think so. I don't swing that way. Do you?

I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and **** my sister.

How do you go about informing your sister to expect company?

Not sure. I offered her only because I don't think Brian will take me up on it. Since I don't have a sister, I could drug up my brother, put a pair of panties and a stuffed bra on him. With the lights low, you think Brian will notice?

This is what I love about this forum. Almost everyone here is a man or woman of their word. We may disagree strongly on politics, but if anyone needs help with their car, or are stuck away from home, everyone is there to help.
