they were on AGT last night and announced their very very very absolutely last farewell world tour ever.
it was interesting, Paul Stanley had his giant platform boots on and the lead guitarist was wearing flat boots but was still just as tall. [laughs]

Let’s table this particular concern for now. Instead, let us return to raving about consultant speak and terms that “the kids” have long since abandoned.

I prefer when issues are put in "the parking lot." "Tabling" an issue leaves too much chance it will be brought up again during the meeting.

Are you serious? Kiss was on AGT last night? I may have to go check the DVR, because that might be a fun watch for a few different reasons. :wink:

I feel this also (but more strongly) about puns. People make a pun and then behave as though they belong at the fucking Algonquin Round Table.

Hey, now you are going too far. I was raised on bad-Dad puns, and was infected with that disease as youth. Or maybe it is a genetic trait. In any case, I have already passed the trait on to all three of my children to various degrees. Though I did also train them all to listen to something more than modern pop music.

Is the other guitarist still Tommy Thayer?

His father passed away just the other day. I didn't know his dad was a WWII hero:

I have a co worker who was in charge of our inspection dept. If there was a Bullshit Bingo category on Jeopardy, she would run the category. Somehow she got it into her head that there are 5 'why' questions to solve every problem. Last time she tried that on me, I simply told her to prove her point. She could not... so I told her to stop asking me stupid questions and GTFO of my shop.

"My bad"
"No problem" instead of "You're welcome".

Also, don't noun verbs.

petition
rain
email

bargain
battle
color
crack
credit
dust
drink
dress
delay
fear
fish
glue
joke
level
pack
plug
pump
ski
slice
telephone
test
time
treat
water
whip
yield

pretty normal language evolution

Although I do hate the verb turned noun "My ask is"
