Considering how you expanded Pavlov's research using PUP as your subject, you may well get their Person of the Decade award. Nice job!!!!!

I am awaiting the Nobel Prize Committee's thoughts on that. God, it's a great time to be a pioneer...

Under awards on my resume, I included Time Magazine's 2006 Person of the Year. Earlier this week I had an interview and the hiring manager got a kick out of it... but I could see that one going either way. In fact, I got an offer letter today.

He already has one! It is one of the complications of Flippin's "research"

Apparently not...the lady who lived in my house before me must've prepaid her subscription quite a while, because I certainly didn't buy it.

Person of the year: You

Translation: A cop-out for nobody in the news did anything that was both really notable and clearly positive, but we still think "web 2.0" sounds flashy.


But big kudos to Travelin' Jack for the resume gig. Well-played. :beer:

I'm really not thrilled about sharing my prize with you people, since I did most of the work.

Well, following Optimus Prime being Time Magazine's 'man' of the century, I'm beginning to take anything they say with just a soupçon of salt. Not because he shouldn't be, but. Well. Fiction and all....

The real winners are the ones that find their magazine with "You're next" written in red lipstick on it.

Optimus Prime is totally the man. I mean who else could blast apart that moran who's driving like a cracktard, stomp on a few H2s, then turn into a semi truck to carry insane amounts of bikes/passengers/stuff to places untold?

I think it was more the "Died twice saving his friends" that got the spot for him.
