Ted Frank demonstrates he plumps when you cook him:
>Actually, it cost the net hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

Planning on adjusting your income accordingly?

>My ass is still firmly attached, 

Obviously.  And it makes a fine necklace, I might add.

>undergraduates named Mike posting their illiterate attempts at insults.

>begin to care about fratoids like you posting from Third World nations.

Oh, step back everyone.  Theo's a LAWYER.  Well, er, not quite.  But
he gets to bill *someone* to post to the net, no doubt.

Your pretentious display aside, given the choice of calling the
Orkin Man for frat-boys or lawyers would be simple.  At least 
frat-boys are reasonably harmless in their antics.  The fact that
Mikey might one day be employed in a respectable profession and may
potentially have the ability to learn from his mistakes is his
saving grace.  That sort of leaves you twisting in the wind.

As an aside, I never understood why bragging about job-related graft
was OK, but mentioning salaries wasn't.  Isn't a salary something
you earn, and should be proud of?  Aren't perks a marginally unsavory
skimming-off-the-top?  Go figure.

>Actually, they gave me a 57% increase in my scholarship, so they're paying
>me to stay in school.

Sort of like a last ditch effort of facing the moral dilemna of not
offering you a job?

>ObPeeve:  Ten to one Mikey has to have the last word and will follow up on

It's not a bad bet, but it violates my personal ethics to gamble with
an idiot.  If Mikey had any common sense at all (another bet, in and
of itself) he'd realized your post negates any need for him to
demonstrate superiority.

Peeve: That I wasted the "slather yourself in ketchup and jump on a
bun, half-baked of course" when an oppurtunity like this was coming
down the pike.
