We could both use our middle initials...

He could put Ph.D. after his name, and I could put Mus.D... (but that's
still 10 years off.)

Or he could adopt me, and then I'd be Jeff Jones, Jr...

Or I could just post as Jeff Jones and let the poor newbies figure out
who is who the hard way.

You have got to stop reading those Tony Robbins books.

Yeah, the other George is showing how to give full props to your opponent.
The other George made no mistakes, he did everything anyone could possibly
do. Not only does he himself refuse to examine whether any mistakes were
made, he doesn't want anyone else to examine it either.

QUESTION: You've looked back before 9-11 for what mistakes might have
been made. After 9-11, what would your biggest mistake be, would you say,
and what lessons have learned from it?
BUSH: I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of time so I
could plan for it.

John, I'm sure historians will look back and say, gosh, he could've done
it better this way or that way. You know, I just -- I'm sure something
will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all
the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn't yet.

yay for boring experiments!
just being silly, but i hope you know what i mean.

i remember when i was at school, i realized i would never make it past
the undergraduate level when i was reading about some smartie and it
said something like "along with pursuing a doctorate in theoretical and
physical chemistry, jeff also is a competitive amateur cyclist, enjoys
photography, and has recently written a detailed history of the cobbled
climbs in belgium in his spare time..."
(ok, i so made stuff up, but i'm sure it would have read something
like that

Comparing their respective records, personalities aside, it's clear
Ali was a greater champion than Tyson. That's my way of thinking.

Huh? Ali went 56-5, winning 91% of this fights. Tyson's record stands
at 50-4, which is--if I figured this right--92%. That not very clear
thinking at all. Hell, by your reasoning, Wladimir Klitschko, who has
never a champion as a pro, but with a 42-3 record is better than both
of them. WTF?

I don't really mind - it's your name too after all! It'll create endless
confusion in this newsgroup, if that's at all possible :-)

As for work, I could certainly use another one of me around here sometimes
so I can slope off down to the pub.

Jeff
p.s. in no way associated with the actor
p.p.s. I could put "failed A. Mus." after my name

Hehe. Friends used to quote Dr. Belloq at me during races.

Better than quoting Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
