Billy Much thanks for the offer, you have email ;-)
You know for being a skinny guy I love to eat
John I agree 100% Some excellent place's in Little Italy ;-)
Sabatino's is where everyone goes to be seen (celebs often go there when in town plus they are open after 2:00 AM on the weekends) Great Clams Casino & Shrimp Parmesan
Velleggia's and Luigi Petti (Excellent Lobster ravioli and perogi's ) are both outstanding
For Seafood in Fells Point John Steven's is incredible, nondescript bar in front, nice open courtyard (weather permitting) and very nice almost elegant dinning room
That is where I take guests from out of town for seafood
Dravyk funniest thing about the Admiral Fell Inn is the name over an awning covering steps going down the front side if the building, I wonder how many drunk college kids have fallen down those stairs and not gotten the joke
Really wish Fells Point would lighten up a little and allow open containers like Bourbon Street
Is very crowded with college kids there on the weekends and almost dead Sunday through Wednesday

I am very glad to see that Mike AI and Evan have called a "truce".
Mike, I must say you are a gentleman :-))
I jsut wished you would have done this sooner. I think you'll find that the two of you are quite similar in many ways.
Waaaaay back when, I was sent on paid classroom training on some computers down in Baltimore. Long story short: because of changing jobs I wasn't going to get a vacation that year, so this was going to be the closest thing to one. I did classes during the day, napped, and boozed and ate all night. Went to class the next day yawning and bloodshot, and did it all over again. :-)))
They had plopped me down in a hotel that was smack in the middle of Fells Point ... a place with about 40 restaurants and 200 pubs, bars, taverns and watering holes!! (Did I mention bars by any chance?)
Btw, also the funniest name of a hotel I ever stayed in: The Admiral Fell Inn. :-)) Funny name, but a great hotel and a perrrrfect location. :-))))

Vick I shoot me and e-mail and I will send you some of the BEST BBQ seasoning around and the secret way to make them come out perfect.. YOU cannot find this method on the back of a box : )
I know Mike is going to come in here and say something about.. Billy does it different but trust me, my way is the best way : )
I gotta admit, I still find those rocker boys from the 80s rather yummy; much more appealing than the 90s grunge dudes, who look like they just crawled out of a dumpster. But in Dee's case, it's more about his being a free speech warrior. The man said "fuck" in Congress... that rocks! Rox'K, Mike... how's that?

Very true Enforcer...as long as there is no plot to get in the way of the story ;)))
Mike, sure :) I can get you a pick, but drop a dime, kick me back 3 bucks and I'll give you my 5 star super silver pick, which you can put a dime on and you don't even need to remember me...but I'll probably call you in a week anyways and have you toss 2 dimes on the big game next week and even toss in a parlay pick, you kick me back a nickle and if we're both happy, I'll toss in a couple freebie picks..they suck, but won't cost you anything and maybe you can give your man a little berak so he doesn't suspect I've selling this stuff too cheap...
sorry, went into sports salesman mode ;)))) SykkBoyCheck the video review column ;)

Mike
Here in Baltimore I die for New Orleans cuisine (guess that is why I learned how to make barbequed shrimp)
So anything even remotely close to NO food is good to me ;-)
We have 3 Copeland's here
All are pretty good, they have Sunday Jazz brunch
Excellent stuffed french toast
Got to say they top Outback
Playboy put Luger's in the top 10
They also gave high ratings to Michael Jordon's in NYC
There is a McCafertey's here (not sure if they are nationwide) which is very good also

I am not sure about the Ruth's in Baltimore, but the Original in New Orleans cannot be beat.
I have been to Shula's a few times in Tampa, Delmonicos both in Vegas and New Orleans, Lugars in NY ( Which I enjoy the atmosphere of), the oringal Morton's in Chicago, and tons of other places...

I was always a verifier and Ops manager, and wrote many a pitch for the various deals. What a whacky business... not too much different than this one, really. I think if we took a poll, most people'd say they hate phone guys more than pornographers LOL

Sykk when we do the Football Pick'em I want you as my advisor!!
I ran the gambit too:
ad specs, vitamins, gas&oil, wireless cable licenses, sports picks, etc. man the days of the 1 in 5's were great...the best money though was in sports betting...worked for one of the best..until he decided he hated to pay taxes :((
Vick, ever have the fun of orange stickers and badges? :)) I had 3...heheheh
I may retire from porn and open up a sports service (btw, for those wodnering, they are perfectly legal as long as ou're only selling picks and not taking bets...bookmaking is illegal, selling information is perfectly legit))....the downside was the time...we worked 7 days a week (luckily only 5-6 hours a day) because sports don't take a day off except the All Star break....

All former telemarketing managers and marketing directors please raise your hand
a drawhound is one of those lame fronters who can't close but likes to live off their draw, which is usually minimum wage, and for some reason "seems" to enjoy being beat up on the phone for minimum wage and draws that draw until they're fired because they are even selling enough to cover their draws...even with an ace closer like me...LOL...well something like that ;))) SykkBoyCheck the video review column ;)

Mike, I don't play either of those games well either... however, I'm pretty good at drinking and cheering the players on!
Brujah, a spiff is a sales bonus or incentive. "First guy to put 3 deals up on the board gets $100," is a cash spiff. I spent many years in telemarketing, where I learned all sorts of colorful terms; my favorite of which is "drawhound." ;-)
Enforcer??? I'm insulted...
"The Story Of Ricky" (or it's original Chinese name "Lai Wong") is a kung fu/chopsocky classic...low budget but fight scenes unlike ANY you've ever seen...makes Jackie Chan look like Sesame Street (and I say that as a HUGE Jackie Chan fan)

You got to see this month's Playboy
Incredible interview with Tony Siragusa
Won't ruin it but it is excellent - Goose is definetly the deal!
He tells it like it is about sex, quaterbacks, the NFL, winning the Super Bowl, pussy punk ass offensive lineman and more ....
Also Playboy rates the top 10 steakhouses in the US
Dickie Brennan's makes the top 10
Dig, excellent article.. cool to get to know a bit more about you. Saw the bit about likewhoa and think they're just going to keep getting bigger. Definitely becoming a major player in hosting alone. A few suckups in there to Serge though I think. haha :)
:: The Exact same foosball table that Xpays is selling for $1500 ::
Brad, I never said Xpays was selling the tables for $1500. I was merely repeating a figure I was given by a relative who's a fooser. We were discussing the tournament tables, and retail pricing.
benc, a little birdy-bird told me those xpointz will be redeemable for foosball tables in the future. So maybe you don't want to go giving away any "crap" quite yet ;-) At about $1500 a pop, that's a pretty nice sales spiff! RoxOnce an extra in a horrible foosball movie - with Leif Garrett!

well all is right with the world.
Got my uswives Friday night spam as usual and the Saturday uswives spam just came in.
I wish the Canadian Postal Service CanadaPost could be this consistent!
I just realized that the xpoints from xpays are redeemable for that xthreadz stuff.
That has to be one of the stupidest things I ever saw. Why on earth would I want that crap.
I have over 12,000 xpoints that I sure as hell wont use. Anyone need a groovy xpays shirt or dj bag lol.

I have some exciting news...
you know how we all love to do
things that benefit the KIDS...
At the upcoming CybernetExpo we will be having a semi-formal (business casual) dinner buffet and silent Auction to benefit
The National Exchange Club Foundation's fight to Prevent Child Abuse in this country.
They have also been a generous sponsor of our Adopt a Child for Christmas program since it's conception.
Adult Revenue Service will be sponsoring the open bar. For the dinner and cocktails, there will be a modest charge of $75.00 per person. Dinner Reservations for the event will not be open until Monday, July 30, 2001 - but you can start donating the items NOW, As we are limited in the number of items we can take.
To attend the dinner/auction, you must be signed up in advance... There will be no profit from the dinner, and we will cash accept donations.
Due to the time limits involved, we will be taking no more than 50 donations, and all donations should be over $500.00 in value. Please e-mail me or visit the site for more information. http://www.cybernetexpo.com/auction/
I am thrilled to be helping Fay in this worthy endevor and Know that you will all come thru for the Kids just as you always have....
Some things really piss me off. Someone ripped off their tour, put it on a free host, and pointed it at ibill and dialers. To top it off their spam says they offer underage models. Wouldn't you want to know if someone was doing that to your program? I generally don't have time to dig into these things but this one was just too easy.

Ulfie one could spend a lifetime on an anti-dickhead campaign and still have lots of work to be done upon their death... and that would be just in this industry.
Anybody know who runs cumshooters.com? I got something today I'm sure they would like to see. I did a whois and e-mailed the account listed but sometimes they aren't that reliable.
I have been getting spams from them all morning...
I find it amusing they have http://xxxamateurpages.com/ which looks like a rip-off of Lensmans site and domain name... Wonder if lens is going to move on this?
They process with CCbill... I will have to send this out to KK maybe she will slap them some.
Dainelle, Blondy - while JoeE does not come hang out over here, we should still give him time to look into this and reject the traffic.
The person who called RB down was wrong, a quick e-mail to RB or Aly and MaxCash solves the problem.
Of course JoeE has never been as easy to work with - explaining it is all "business" - Just like his attitude with password sites. I am sure he would tell the kids " Pay for your domain next time"

How are plans going for the Amsterdam Party ? I expect to be there.
Geesh, feel like I won the lottery or something this morning - only had 10 people trying to give me virus. My delete key finger didn't even get warmed up.
Mindless thoughts: Wonder when I am going to quit being spammed by AOL users? Wonder why Misouri elected a dead man over Ashcroft? Oh well, it's Saturday, wonder who is going to mow my grass?

Downloaded and started using it
Not real effective, doesn't block over sized banners well, doesn't block all pop ups
It does eliminate some banner images but the live field to click through on is still there, is just a big blank space
What is probably does best is eliminate cookies
Product still has to perform better to be any threat
Text links will always work though ;-)

Been reading some articles and have to ask what you guys think about that AdSubtract software, it looks to be gaining in popularity with surfers and is now being bundled with other software. Here's feature list for those not familiar with it.
