Can I get one for Christmas?

You could possibly get one from M & M Enterprises Modeling Agency

THAT is the reason Neanderthal went extinct. All you need is one modern human female to look like that and all the Neanderthal guys decide it's interbreed or bust, so to speak.

There is also this. She is going to have such a sore back standing there in those CFM shoes with that admittedly alluring back arch which puts some of her assets on display...but is really bad ergonomically. Wait till they get the workplace safety fine, too.

Along these lines, my new medical assistant is really good with shots and works fast and efficiently and she speaks Spanish well. Great worker! The only problem she stopped wearing glasses (switched to contacts)and started wearing her hair down and now she looks like Jennifer Lopez's younger sister!

Santa Maria! All of a sudden I have teenage male patients asking their moms to take them in for their shots. One kid got his first HPV shot and I told him he needed two more.

Teenager: Good

**************May 30, 1943(c)************

Formosa/Horycrappo-jima: Unloading was done for now at Karenko so we sent Massachusetts to bombard Takao and the CL/DD force at Karenko to Okinawa to try to intercept the transports suspected to be inbound. More fighters to Horycrappo-jima to cover Lee's force operating near Okinawa.

At night, Kongo was spotted inbound about 80 NE of Taihoku. She may have paid a visit to Karenko. If she did, she missed the PT boats. Tautog attacked Kongo in shallow water and got flattened.

Japanese Ships
BB Kongo
DD Yudachi
DD Kisaragi

Allied Ships
SS Tautog, hits 5, heavy damage

USS Grouper makes a run at her as well but is damaged by a DD named after a feminine hygiene product. Perhaps the ASW measures slowed down the Kongo convoy. Too bad, a Kongo vs Massachusetts battle would have been interesting.

Massachusetts is now gone...gone to flatten Takao for a second night in a row.

Cap - have you considered the potential synergies with sports physicals? I'm sure weekly rechecks (along with concussion monitoring of course) would be acceptable to the target demographic...

My management consulting fee is 5% of the gross - pre house cut....

Although now that I look at that post I am wondering if its even possible to identify early stage brain damage in a teen male.

Is that a pinstripe just above the rear bumpers, or is it a zipper?

Nice curves! Getting a ride may be theoretically possible for old codgers, but bad on the heart, I fear.

Makes me wanna be an OSHA inspector. "Sure, Miss, there IS a way we can settle this out of court." [;)]

So was it the lawnmower or the pitbull that necessitated his appointment with you?

[moore4807]

If there's a pool on this, I'm in for $20 on the Pit Bull [:D]

[Cap Mandrake]

Pit Bull got him in the leg and hand. I had to triage him to the hand Ortho guy because I was worried about the one of the flexor tendons. Unless you have a weapon, you are going to lose a fight with a Pit Bull. Hory crap!

Hey look! They're sending reserve ground units for the Kuriles.
