Please don't forget Bob Smith.

He has been very open about his own path to ER and has contributed a lot of good information to this board!

Re: All-star team

I knew you could, John!

Now if you can correctly spell the word that is right after "ex-professional", you can be on my "team"!

ROTFLMAO!

Go ahead, make your own joke...

Jarhead...a great honor...I do spend a lot of time and hope its helpful.

But arent we ALL allstars? After all, we all quit working early or we're smart enough to start working towards it!

And we need 'fixtures' like John. You know what to expect from him and you usually get it

Re: All-star team

I can hardly wait to see the uniforms.

Come to think of it, there may be a problem here. Since the current ER flag (with the official ER emblem) was designed by John Galt, you may have problems with the uniform design. He might not allow it's use for your team after what you've said about him.

Re: All-star team

I can see it all now - in my minds eye - a pick up game of skins and shirts - er skins and dryer sheets ---Hmmm - on second thought nix that idea.

We probably have enough posters to field more than one team though.

Re: All-star team

Hey Charlie! Jarhead probably pulled his post as it was
a CHP (cocktail hour post) and so appeared a bit over the top the next morning Actually, I was kind of honored to make a "special" team, but as
salaryguru pointed out, I may have to withold
permission to use the flag on the All-Star uniforms.
Too bad, that would have been cool

Yep, you can count on me to be myself. I gotta be me
(Sammy Davis Jr.). And BTW............... TH, that trout turned out to be under the legal limit. She was willing though. Hey, keep
luring me out with your one-liners. Almost every one
spawns a joke and relieves me of casting about for
new material. Finally, for ex-Jarhead. I still love you man. Semper Fi!

Re: All-star team

Ahh, no wonder this thread didn't make any sense. You miss a few days and confusion erupts.

What I wonder is, how is Cut-throat gonna play on a team? Every time I see him, he's holding a great big fish. And he'll never be able to skate with those hip-waders on.

I'm sure some folks here appreciate your candor, even though most of us have done far worse.

Was JohnGalt right? was it a CHP? If so please tell me what you were Drinking and I'll get some the night I start a new political thread

Yes, I can certainly agree with you there, about MY mistakes!

Jarhead, I'm glad that you reconsidered. Best of luck on your continued travels in this thing called "ER".

Re: All-star team

Someone should look into getting the uniforms anyway. And what are our team colors?

Red, with a separate large logo on the back that says "Do not wake".

By the way Jarhead, all of lifes mistakes ARE just as easy to correct.

You just need a really, really big sharp delete key sometimes
