Thanks to KK for clarifying this question. I thought it meant "intimidate" and was going to tell the story of how when we rolled out blindlinks.com we were denied a chance to bid on advertising on Ynot. You see, back then, you bid on the top banner adspace and because of the "coddle the surfer" mentality of lil Ricky and khan, they refused to allow us to bid on the spot if we were going to use it for blindlinks.com, thinking blindlinks was the bane of the industry. So, with typical gay flair, Mojo and I threw a hissy fit (with the help of Serge who at the time was making a lot of money off of us) and took our show over to netpond (it may have still been called "condomproject" back then). Ynot became a ghost town overnight. They went from being the GFY of their day to the tunafishbitch.com of their day.

what that had to do with intimidation, I don't know but its an interesting story of the cutthroat things that went on back then and it was the first story to pop into my head when I saw the question.

But he meant "imitate" didn't he?

The person I imitate best (or worse depending on your point of view) is Brad Shaw.
Back in the day, Robert and I had two other partners and the 4 of us for whatever reason, always pretended we were Brad when we would talk about him. Back then he was a good friend who we had a lot of interaction with. I don't know how it started or why but the 4 of us would use a high pitched voice that sounded like SNL's "Mr. Bill" whenever his name came up.
So one year in Vegas, we take him and KK to dinner at Picasso. KK is also a long time good friend of mine. We had a great dinner listening to Brad tell us all about what he'd been up to. Talking about fishing tournaments where the all wore matching shirts, etc. etc. About half way through the night, Brad says, "so, I hear you guys do an impression of me"
KK (that snitching little bitch) must have told him about it.
We all respond with denials, "no, we really don't. nah, its not that good. No, we hardly ever do it"
he's like, "come on guys, I know about it, its ok. let's hear it"
The 4 of us look at each other, shrug, and then break out our Brad voices, regurgitating every single thing he had said at dinner. For the next hour, it was a high pitched tour de force.
The 6 of us were laughing so hard we couldn't breath.

And Brad was a great great sport. He was like a kid waiting to get shot with a water pistle and instead getting blasted with a fire hose. funny funny night.

I think this thread has already covered the before and after pics.

I had been thinking of shaving it for a while but hadn't really done it. I had it for longer than some of these board members have been alive.
Anyway, we had gotten into the habit of eating sushi a couple days a week in yet another feeble attempt to lose wieght. So one day after a big sushi boat, not a little one but a japanese warship, I went home early 'cause I didn't feel too well. Stomach virus and sushi do not mix and after throwing my guts up, I had a problem. You know they call moustaches "flavor savors" right? well, I couldn't flavor this savor nor could I shake the smell. Off came the moustache. for good.
the end.

I only lost one fight in my life and that really wasn't having "the crap beaten out of me"
I was about 9 and a kid 3 years older than me wanted to beat up my younger brother. I stepped up, fought the kid, lost and went home and yelled at my little brother for being stupid.

Never. first, we've never run spyware. thats just another myth the trolls like to give credence to. second, we've only ever been asked for info about a company we had dealings with once. And considering all of the shinanigans going on in mainstream, I'd say thats pretty good. We did business with just about everyone. turns out a good many of them were a bit underhanded.

Around the office we refer to this as "Building Ron a Moon Base"

12clicks gets an idea and wants it done the next week. He just waves his royal hand and does not want to be bothered with silly details like "programming" and other similar things that are irrelevant to him.

One time during a company meeting a tech got really frustrated and said something like "You don't want to hear any of the issues, you just want it done!!! It's like you're telling us to go build you a base on the moon. You don't care how it gets done you just tell us to do it!!!"

And we laughed and laughed and from that point on "Building Ron a Moon Base" became a catch phrase with us.

first, cory. I've always been a fan of Zimm's and we've done some mainstream business in the past so when Cory began with WEG, it was only natural for me to be supportive of him, etc. However, Cory soon showed everyone what a huge asset he is. He truly raised the bar with his professionalism, ability, and likeability. He's the perfect sales rep but so much more. Oh, and over the years, he's become a good friend and someone I enjoy spending time with. I'm sure a friend like him so steeped in the game will be an asset for me when I roll out the program. Its great knowing all of the program owners I do but knowing the operators is equally important and Cory is the best operator I know.

oh, and when we meet other couples, we never have to argue about who gets who:

Now Eric. kind of the same scenario as Cory but a couple of years sooner. pretty much everything I said about Cory applies to Eric too. I was friendly with lensman, we did business together and Eric was always his right hand. I used to hang with Eric at the shows and found him to be great at what he does too. These two guys are special in their ability to make people around them happy and turn them into affiliates or partners. I actually thought we were close to becoming lovers. Once in his hotel room we were both pretty drunk and...............ah, yeah. I'll save that story for the book deal.
