    Eye haz jawb!!!

    Some of you know, other's don't. I left my old job 2 years ago to pursue a PhD in math. After a year in I realized I really loved engineering over math so I dropped out expecting to find work only to find a wasteland.

    After a year of looking and coming oh-so-close on a couple occasions, I finally landed a job. Funny thing is, they're paying me better than my old job.

    Hope is out there. Wishing all those looking whatever is left of my luck.

    So... to bring it back on topic, Big AL? 25th? Bongo? Color? Single H?

    Awesome news, Tom!
    Get an oldskool bass!
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.

    Yes, I'd like some fries with my order.

    Way to go, Maddog! I guess this means you won't be working here in Stumptown.

    Hey Maddog...
    Good to hear that you're employed once again! BTW, do you ever play in Algoma? I see that you're not too far away, and there's a kick-ass band that plays during shanty days when I'm out there salmon fishing... Just wondering...

    oh yeah, i'm thinkin any of the above will be a nice purchase...
