One torture master serving another. That is beautiful symmetry.

Alleviate water on the brainI hope it helps! Poor guy.

I purchased one of these in XL on Sunday. Chestnut finish. It was in the deals section. http://www.saddlebackleather.com/briefcase?sc=8&category=301406 Thank you Peng for posting the video some time back.

He is a lot smaller than me. I'll have you tapping out in no time pretty boy.

You misread that completely. I don't like it because I am the same way...Ha. Yeah. That sounds like you. Internet inflection fail.

Did I sound like I was trying to buy friendship with my boss? God I hope not, and hope he doesn't think so. I like control and being generous when I can. I hope it doesn't look bad. :-(

$800 from the wife's work for the elliptical.

Well, $200 from Tamron, also.

I'm getting about $600 in rebates from Canon. Woo hop. :-D Thanks National Camera!

I know. I would grab the tab if we went out too. Fun nights like that come from the discretionary cash reserve. :-)

Plusses I get 10% back when I eat there. I'm a sucker for that!

I don't mind Chipotle if I have to eat quickly and need a "mall" choice. I don't think it's good though. Enough tobasco and lime and it's definitely ok.

I like to pay when I can. Kind of funny because he set a sales record last month, my store gave him extra bonus money as he collects when I do, just too a lesser degree. It will probably be a bigger check than he has ever had. ......but that check doesn't happen until the 15the and he just had to put a new transmission in his car and overpaid. He experienced bone marrow for the first time and had the bread pudding and dove in. Seeing someone so happy to eat was worth the price.

Went out to a great steakhouse, Manny's last night with my supervisor and his G/F last night. We have a great professional working relationship and he hadn't been. 2 drinks and when the girls went to the restroom, he spilled his guts about some stuff that his boss spilled to him after getting sloshed at a twins game last week. My intention had little to do with work, but it was a positive byproduct of the meal. Also got the waiter to bring me the tab. I'll be living lean this month now. I think it was a good move, when I suggest a more expensive place that someone hasn't been I try to pay if I can. The dinner was a hit though. His GF who also works in the company was charmed by my wife as was he. The dinner was fun, and productive in networking and solidifying a friendship with a good ally at work. We don't get along with too many couples so it's fun when we can go out and have a good time.

AGREED! People come up to my wife and rub her tattoos in public all the time. I'm not gonna ask where she is tattooed Beat me to it! :rimshot: I'm not sure how many more double entendre I can fit here....

Why sell it BTW?Would doing a 10 dollar bill of sale help like it does with registration taxes? J It would help the taxes Mike "should" claim from selling it, but not from his winning it. As an employer it's almost impossible to legally give an employee a gift or something similar without forcing the employee to pay for it. We taxed people on gift cards. And because laws changed a while back "Thanks Obama" it has to be seen as a bonus. That means it's taxed at a much higher amount than regular pay. At one time there was discussion about taxing work events and gifts involved as small as coffee cups and such. There is a line you can hide behind that involves team building and thus a required cost of business though. You just have to make sure your careful. Mike's case is tough because he can, and is going to, sell the gift. It is also a raffle, and not something directly related to a work exercise. They could probably give it to him as a company perk, but then he wouldn't own it until X date, and it would be have to used in some work capacity. That could be mowing his lawn with their logo on the tractor, but again, it's sketchy at best. Prior to some of the law changes you could have your employees win gift cards and not tax them. Especially if the money seemed to flow through vendors. A friend sold cell phones and made 80% of his income as Amazon/Visa or AmEx gift cards. The company didn't pay tax and neither did the employee. Those was a gross misuse of the loophole and got closed, but was technically legal at the time.

Why sell it BTW?

It will be on your W-2 unless they are cooking the books for you somehow. That's unlikely as it's a write off for them in so many ways.

That is really drunk.

looks like a Texas Magnum PI

I'm so ronery
