I guess I should have been more clear. I meant is this part of your new job, not is this how you waste time at work now. ;)

no I just wait until something breaks then I call somebody to come and fix it, and so when nothing breaks I have plenty of slacker time to waste.

That's MrC's bunghole ;D

Can't be....you can't actually *see* my bunghole, since it traps all light and matter. You have to look at the area around my bunghole, only then will you get the sense of it's true size!


Here I am sucking in a Helicopter:

I'm not in it for the money.  I consider Seph's mom an Xtreme sport.

Xtreme sport is right.....


it's more dangerous than rock climbing, I mean just think if she rolls over...


perhaps I should demand hazard pay

I like to get a running start and try to hurdle her... if you're ready, it doesn't matter if you don't make it, you just reach and grab and stab and jab.

When Google took all their satellite photos, they contacted Seph's mom.

They told her to get out of the way, she was blocking Idaho.

Isn't this how Seph's mom refers to herself?
