The New Guy

Welcome to the Booth Mike. The Aussies sure are acting a little weird today aren't they? Don't worry they are mostly harmless. Us Americans would never act silly like that when greeting a new member.

There was an interesting discussion recently about it being really cool at first to work on a big show but after a while night after night of the same thing turning slowly turns the experience to boring drudgery. Curious what your thoughts are on that topic.

 

But what makes cirq fun is trying to learn french from of about half they people that work for them.

Also... anything done by Luc is pretty amazing to watch...

 

Gentlemen, Separate corners please! Remember that little discussion about Politics and Polite company ?
< that's all we need, start an international incident with the Aussies. It's what the Canadians are waiting for after all.>

Welcome Aboard Mike! Wow we've got a guy doing Cirque in Fla. and one in Vegas, How cool is that. I think Logos covered most of the usual warnings/greeting subjects < can't believe he beat me to it.> BTW I would never make a pie from a Wombat, too heavy, it would break the rack in my oven. I would have one as a pet though, 'cept Logos won't send me one.

 

You know what's really ironic is what happened in the governor's election here three years ago. I'm pretty independent politically, I vote both sides of the fence... heck I even voted for Perot... so I find it funny.

In the end of the Bush v. Gore election situation the courts said stop counting and Bush won. In our last governor's election it was unbelievably close and the Republican candidate won the first two computerized counts but they were so close that state law required a hand count (even though all the data shows that the computer counts are far more accurate). Both computer counts were very close to each other. The hand recount, as expected by the data, was very different and swung in the other direction giving the democrat the victory and the courts said stop counting.

Since that day the "election was stolen by the courts" protesters got real quite up here.

 

Umm Hughesie... while it is in the general section "The New Guy" who started this thread to greet people in the booth may not be interested. Van's got a point. Although on the other hand, this thread hasn't gone on with 17 pages of hijacks... yet.
