Bah! I knew that Smokie was just stallin' and figurin' until he could find a way to once again align himself with the Cardassian Empire...why should he be thanked for such a self-interested act?




j/k!

Thanks, Grandpa Smoke!

:D

And that's a cheap house :Q Sold our 2 bedroom ground floor flat for £58k, bought it for £29k 5 years ago, not too bad a price increase, but the only thing is that everywhere else has risen in price :(

Everything in the UK is soo expensive :(

But it's got ntl cable, so easy to plug in my cable modem when i move in, so the SetiQ won't be off for too long (but this will be in June when i move!)

Thank you everyone. I really wanted to give up more than once and actually did at one point, didn't I Bigwoffer? ;)

I really think these MTR Races are "one" of the things that makes our forum and our TeAm inviting to new members. It also maintains interest of the membership. This is the most participation we have ever had. The MTR Racers only number around 12% of the average daily contributors to the TeAm but, going into the race, we account for over 31% of the daily WUs. I'd like to bet Evadman ;) that at the end of the race we are doing better than that 31%. :D

I'm taking my wife out tonight to Casino Magic where we will listen and dance to one of the musical groups of our generation - Vince Vance and the Valiants. :D I bet none of you ever heard of them. Good old 50s & 60s Rock 'n Roll.

So I won't be around when the official start hits at 0100 GMT (1900 CDT) but will check in later tonight. If Berkeley acts up again with its poor bandwidth, we are going to start anyway. Adjustments can be made if necessary. It's 1600 CDT at the time of this writing and my Q is clear but acting a little on the slow side. It was around 1700 CDT when Berkeley acted up yesterday so don't wait until the last minute to send in those WUs. ;) I know that is not really anything you all are worried about. Ha LOL :D

That's the last congenial thing I have to say about MTR Racing (this time). From here on end, it's "Let's kick some arse, TEAM "C" ! :D:D:D:D

Many thanks Smokeball! It takes nerves of steel to be able to handle a group of this "caliber". I bet most knowledgable baby sitters wouldn't be able to distinguish us from a group of bratty kids in a nation wide taste test. :D

That is a feat to be commended.

Here's to much racing and trash talking ahead!!!

Thanks a stack smokey!! :D

My bet is that if SETI were a profit-making organisation, you'd be running hot on the tails of the top Executives!! ;)

Thanks again... but prepare to be defeated in the MTR!! ;)
