Let's take this offline and come up with a sound business plan. We can then present it to the rest of the BMHs and try to get the application and then training process off the ground.

I'm sure the Dutchie is going to apply, but I have serious doubts about his staying power to get through the rigorous training program.

Allan
Chack out the last few posts between Allan (Prince) and me. We're planning on starting a Master Hijacking school to try to train the next generation in taking over for the founding Master Hijackers as we near retirement age.

Once we have the details worked out, feel free to submit an application.

You know what your problem is don't you? You talk too much! Do or talk, don't do both That's why you and the other pensioner will never be in the big league of hijacking: you talk too much

Right you are, Ed. Frans gets distracted by other things (booze, drugs, etc.) and just can't focus on the task at hand.

Now ol' StayingPower76 and GoForit1957 - that's a different story!

I don't know, Ed. We would have to work on Allan's attitude about appropriate Master Hijacking first, before we even accept his application. I'd be inclined to watch him like a hawk!

Sure, sure, sure. I've got the feeling that Rolex will have gone out of business when you guys finally get done with your talking and start to really do something about the "Master Hijacking School"! I am thinking we should attach this thread to the "Girls Coffeeshop Talk" thread!

That's ok, we will just take the information from this thread when and if you guys ever finish and we will start our own school! As the saying goes, if you want anything done right, do it yourself!

EXXXXXcellent, Allan!

You know, if you take this obstreperous attitude and apply it to dissing JJ with that same intensity, I don't see why you couldn't make it all the way to the top of the Tosser List instead of 8th place!

I wouldn't be worried if it was just JJ without his sheep since we all know that JJ is just a lamb with a big "BAAAA"!

You know the sound of two hands clapping. But what is the sound of one hand clapping? (Mort Sahl, ca. 1960).

I feel ashamed and saddened that two of our master hijackers have gone off topic and by doing so are on topic. This is a sad day for TRF, could this be the slippery slope that we all must ride before reaching our zenith?

It couldn't be helped, Adrian. You yourself are so off-topic, and yet so ON-TOPIC!!! It is the conundrum of the century!!!
