Most of the time, it is women who have HUGE smiles. Men smile as a result of women's HUGE smiles. That HUGE thing in the pic is not just a smile. He may just be happy to see someone -- a fish meal perhaps.

Good question. At first, I thought it was fish, but then, after closer inspection and blowing it up to 200%, the one on the left (his right) looks like a hoagie sandwich and the one in the middle looks like the lower leg and foot of a wild animal -- complete with a set of toenails.

An all 50 states legal wag. Of course, that just means it won't get close.
See, you did notice, you dirty old man.
After a few large beers and several Crowns, I begin to notice less and less. Then again, I was paying far more attention to some of the sporting events walking around.
or at Fenway or at nearby clubs or ....? Once lists begin, they seldom really end.
Thanks. I think I caught it almost imemdiately and edited my wag.
Now you are gonna' have Susie mad at you. You're gonna' need a bigger gun!
That would be a HUGE, not bigger, gun, er weapon.
You ask a question, and sometimes you just get another question.
The penis enlargement spam with the full-motion graphics of before and after was the last straw. I have some software, but it's been resting on its laurels lately, not doing what it used to.
Just what are you really asking about? I did not think you were old enough to have to worry about that yet. Have no fear though, the Viagra spam emails will help you solve that as well. There is an answer for everything in spam.
Formatting commands are not functional inside an IHub compose window. You can, however, get most fo the look you want this way. Look at this: Is this basically the kind of look you want?
#msg-1113886
To get the text to look like it was centered and tabbed, I composed it in a Notepad file using Tabs to get it to the position I wanted it where it looked like it was centered or tabbed. It is not a true center, but it makes it look like it. When I wanted the "centered" position closer to the left margin, I simply deleted spaces until I got it where I wanted it.
I then copied and pasted the material from the Notepad file into an IHUB compose post window and added [ pre] before the text began and [ /pre] after it ended -- without the spaces inside the brackets, of course
You cannot create this look directly in an IHub compose window because it will ignore the spaces and the tab key is not functional for creating space.
But, this worked in the example above and should give you the ability to get a centered look without a true center command.
For Notepad:
Start
Run
Type in: Notepad
Click "OK" or hit enter
and it will open a new notepad window.

Am I the only one who thinks this market is again irrationally exuberant. Rates are rising and while earnings are growing, they are hardly growing fast enough to justify most valuations. PE's are again in the stratosphere. I like the returns, but it just cannot last. That said, how big will the bubble get this time before it pops?
Got this in one of those promo emails we all get but noone ever actually subscribes to. This company and NVEI could have a great stock swapping party.
TITAN GENERAL (OTCBB: TTGH)
Circuit boards are the core of a littany of products that are a part of elecronics used in an array of goods and services. Each tiny masterpiece is a critical foundation for a product's eventual application.
As a producer of circuit boards Titan General has separated themselves from competitors in a variety of ways but perhaps none so important as it's rapid delivery programs. Beleve it or not, Titan General delivers these high tech wonders in time frames as brief as 24 hours.
The notion of a circuit board itself is enough to make your grandfather's head spin but for those of us children of the Information Age the reality that essential circuit boards can be delivered in one revolution of the Earth should be equally astounding.
Please take the time to consider today's profile on Titan General and be sure and visit the company's recent news below:
TTGH is an innovative fabrication services company producing time sensitive, technologically complex prototype, and high margin printed circuit boards. The Company was established through the acquisition of SVPC Partners, LLC in August of 2002 and Eastern Manufacturing Corporation in February of 2003. The management and board of directors of TTGH are focused on significant growth and shareholder value. TTGH operates two tech centers, one in Amesbury, Massachusetts and the other in Fremont, California, which is the Company's corporate headquarters. TTGH is committed to Enhanced Execution of PCB solutions to Exceed customer and shareholder value expectations. The Company provides its products from its two tech centers to original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing service providers and design engineering service bureaus in both the commercial and military markets. Titan prototype printed circuit boards can serve as the foundation in many electronic products used in telecommunications, medical devices, automotive, military applications, aviation components, networking, and computer equipment. Titan is able to produce high-technology printed circuit boards with surface finishes consisting of tin/lead, immersion gold, organic solderability coating also known as OSP, electrolytic soft and hard gold, silver and tin/nickel finishes. TTGH's commitment is to set the next generation standard in PCB manufacturing through concentration on the high margin rigid-flex market, servicing what management believes is the fastest growing segment of the $130 billion global electronics manufacturing services market.
MANUFACTURING ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS
Titan is focused on manufacturing high quality niche printed circuit boards consisting of complex, multi-layered, fine-lines and high-performance materials with delivery cycles between 24 hours and standard 10 day lead times at a competitive price.

Motorola, Broadcom, Fujitsu, Raytheon, Lockheed, BAE, Parker, Analogic, Analog Devices, AMD, Arrow Electronics, Flextronics, Textron, APC and IMS.
Beginning in the year 2001, Titan began acquiring cutting edge equipment and manufacturing systems from competitors unable to remain in business due to a severe market downturn and overwhelming debt. Titan also obtained customer lists and orders from several of these firms. Through significant process improvements, cost control mechanisms, and total customer quality orientation, Titan has been able to expand its customer base with additional orders from new and existing customers. The management and board of directors of TTGH are focused on significant growth, both organically and through accretive, highly strategic acquisitions. Through vertical integration and aligning its manufacturing process with that of its customers, Titan expects to expand its services, while continuing to acquire assets and customers of other firms in the PCB sector.
The Titan Strategic Model
Expand services of flexible circuits and rigid-flex combinations in order to diversify sources of revenue. Expand sales through the marketing and manufacture of rigid-flex PCBs using the patented HVRFlex process. Acquire and integrate additional production assets at discounted prices as they come on the market. Increase capability of product technology and complexity. Achieve military 31032 certification for the current Titan East facility. Increase market share through improved quality control and processes. Deliver products on time with zero defects. Increase Titan marketing expenditures.

HISTORICAL BUSINESS INFORMATION: Ventures-National Incorporated, the Company's predecessor, was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on March 1, 1985. Ventures-National was formed as a public shell for the primary purpose of seeking potential business enterprises, which in the opinion of management would prove profitable. Ventures-National had no material operations between 1990 and early 2000. On March 9, 2000, Ventures-National elected a new Board of Directors and recommenced its development stage. The Company had no material operations from such time until its merger with Titan EMS, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Effective as of June 28, 2002, Ventures-National entered into a letter of intent pursuant to which Ventures-National would acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Titan EMS, Inc. in exchange for a certain number of shares of Ventures-National's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, on a share-for-share basis. In September 2002, the name of the company was changed to Titan General Holdings, Inc., which also began trading under a new symbol. Concurrent with the name change, Titan General Holdings, Inc. changed its state of incorporation from Utah to Delaware.

Bull has the patriotic wag in advance of the holiday weekend.
Everyone always loves it when you play -- few else here make squishing as interesting. Besides, three dead ons in a week would be some kind of record. The pressure is on.
Holy kangaroo would have been more appropriate.
And with two dead ons for the week, you have already won for the week. Take the rest of the week off.
That one would be naturally strokeless. Normal two stroke combustion for that mixture setting takes some mechanical assistance.
Wouldn't Churak:
look grand in that car:
That is not exactly what men love to see woman doing together. Make LUV not WAR. SOAP to the rescue.
Only if it has SOAP to wash its arse.
Looks to me like you are the squishee.
And it's not Churak who was libeled....

I do not usually pass on this kind of stuff, but some of these seemed new. As for the cell phone porn, wireless computers and PDAs already accomplish it with much bigger pictures. But, except for those who make the money at it, it (like gentleman's clubs) is a HUGE waste of money and time otherwise. Now on to the fun questions and answers.
WHY DO MEN BECOME SMARTER DURING SEX?
(because they are plugged into a genius)
WHY DON'T WOMEN BLINK DURING FOREPLAY?
(they don't have enough time)
WHY DOES IT TAKE 1 MILLION SPERM TO FERTILIZE ONE EGG?
(they don't stop to ask directions)
WHY DID GOD PUT MEN ON EARTH?
(because a vibrator can't mow the lawn)
WHY DON'T WOMEN HAVE MEN'S BRAINS?
(because they don't have penises to put them in)
WHAT DO ELECTRIC TRAINS AND BREASTS HAVE IN COMMON?
(they're intended for children, but men usually play with them)
WHY DO MEN SNORE WHEN THEY LIE ON THEIR BACKS?
(because their balls fall over their assholes & they vapor lock)
WHY DO MEN MASTURBATE?
(it is sex with someone they love)
WHY WERE MEN GIVEN LARGER BRAINS THAN DOGS?
(so they won't hump women's legs at cocktail parties)
WHY DID GOD MAKE MEN BEFORE WOMEN?
(you need a rough draft before you make a final copy)
WHY IS A MAN'S PEE YELLOW AND HIS SPERM WHITE?
(so he can tell if he's coming or going)
HOW MANY MEN DOES IT TAKE TO PUT A TOILET SEAT DOWN?
(don't know??? It never happened)
But she had to squeeze under the 69 to do it.
To heck with the dog, let's just vote for the sandwich.
None of you would have won if you had made it fair and included some of the sweet little things Bob has running around the office. Speaking of which, where are their photos? It ought to be a job requirement (Title VII be damned) to pose for a photo in a company shirt.
