And then some ancient Cryptkeeper looking bastard would take that person to the 'Indiana Jones Warehouse' and tell him to figure it out!!

Takes unknown grey suitcase home and opens it.

Just for the record, I have loaded the Edmonton-bound Greyhound Bus dressed as the A&W Bear.

Thats just how Locke rolls.

The north esso is closed down too, supposedly under renovation but it just looks boarded up.

Rogers.

[powderjunkie]

Seriously. #### Rogers and anybody named Roger or related to anybody named Roger or anybody who as ever met somebody named Roger which means #### me x2 at least!

In the half hour interval between posts I have made exactly zero progress despite typing a whole bunch of words into live chat

I once knew a kid named 'Kevin Rogers' and he was just the worst. Just the worst.

I've quite liked both first name Rogers that I can recall meeting. But if I saw either of them today I would slap the #### out of them like Will Smith did.

Also good news everybody, after another 20 minutes I think I've got this latest rep to about the same level of understanding this simple issue as the last 4 reps. So let's see how it goes!!!!!

[DownInFlames]

I have a friend named Roger. He's a good guy. He works for Telus.

Live chat is proceeding swimmingly. That is if I were swimming in Molasses in Nunavut in January.

Anyways, not a gear grinder, but Tom Hanks is only 67 years old and Kevin Costner 69. Kinda seems like they should be older.

Gene Hackman is still alive. 94 years old. Dustin Hoffman will turn 87 this summer. Al Pacino just turned 84.

Leo is 49 and Brad Pitt is 60. Denzel is 69. Michael Douglas is 79 but doesn't look a day under 104. Harrison Ford 81. Clint Eastwood will turn 94 on May 31. Morgan Freeman will turn 87 the next day. I wonder if they were filming Unforgiven at that time and had a joint B-day party. I'll tell you soon

Nope. Filming took place between August 26, 1991, and November 12, 1991. Much of the cinematography for the film was shot in Alberta in August 1991 by director of photography Jack Green.

Tom Hanks was 37 for Forrest Gump. A bit younger than me now. That doesn't feel right, even though he was playing much younger for a lot of the movie.

Closing in on 2 hours from my first post here today. Which must have been at least a few minutes into this saga. Plus another hour or so last night. But hey, at least we collectively got to pay for a bunch of staff to not solve these problems and for all the IT folks to design the system that works so wonderfully. Just happy to support the economy (probably in India...)

[flamesfever]

If Roy Rogers, "King of the Cowboys", was alive today, he would be 112 years old. He was born November 5, 1911, and died July 6, 1998.

He and his wife, Dale Evans, headlined 10 sold-out shows in the Corral, at the 50th Anniversary of the Calgary Stampede in 1962.

I'm not sure what they're actually called but I call them "shoulder peekers" in traffic -- no, not shoulder checkers, those are good.

A shoulder peeker is someone who roars up on their backed up lane (typically the left lane during rush hour) and slows down, then takes it upon themselves to move slightly in to the shoulder so they can 'peek' ahead and see how far the traffic backup stretches, I guess. Not really sure what they get out of it, but I see this almost every day and it's so lame.

Closely related to the 'shoulder swerver', who are probably the same people but are the ones that were following too close / too fast / checking their phone and have to swerve in to the shoulder to avoid hammering in to the back car of the backed up left lane.

I’m a singer and performed as Kenny Rogers once. Does that count?

What a ####ing #######

My workplace is back to full in office, but we have absolutely 0 tolerance. You're sniffling? You're working from home, and if you show your face prepare to get yelled at by literally everyone.
