2. He's not Stab Man. He's not Knifey Boy. He's the Blue Raja.
No wait, he's not the Blue Raja either. Well, whatever he is, he's a great Lounger. :thumbsup:

8. Forkboy?
Yeah, he's awesome. I worked with him once; we were laying pipelines in Alaska. And there was this young female boss who was overseeing the project. We accidentally misaligned a rivet thanks to a faulty leveler, and she said, "How's that machine working out for you?"
Forkboy explained the problem to her, and asked, "Do you think we should use a different rivet?"
She clapped him on the back and said, "You betcha!"
When she touched him, he went stiff and his eyes glossed over. After she left, the Forkboy told me, "Oh my God! She's going to run for president one day!"
I laughed at him. "Her? She's not that bright. Cute, though."
But he insisted that she would be running for president.
I wonder what ever happened to her.

18. The funniest part of this funny story is the idea of me working hard.
Though I was wondering where this was going when I read, "When she touched him, he went stiff". :rofl:

40. We do have one difference
You like David Bowie, if I recall correctly, and I like Tom Waits. This is so people can tell us apart. :D

As far as I know, neither Bowie or Waits ever wrote a song about Neil Young. ;-)
