Ah, diddy ...
capnwow's "promotional skills" ... haven't heard that expression used in a long time.
Nigel and tommy also had some "promotional skills" -- bragged about them, as a matter of fact. Tommy said, in a meeting with Nigel "and others", something like "I tell them to jump and they ask 'how high?'" But they bragged to the wrong peeps, fershirley. They were a dynamic duo, those two. But then nigel went and got himself flung in jail (and extradited, I think) and tommy got himself all bankrupt (except I don't think the IRS is buying that). Now it's capnmike who's wearing the mantle and carrying the torch.
What a cowinkydink!
