(click on HARD WORKER TIE see what it says?) These are the reasons why I chose PAIDSLAVE....

you want to use paidslave use paidslave. I made the point that you are free to go home every night and that you make a concious decision to return every morning. Nothing you posted here changes that point.

 

[browniehound]

OK! Never heard that one! ROFLMAO!!!!

My question is Brownie Hound are you going to keep that name, now that you know where it came from! WOW!

At least you admitted you didn't know what it meant .... OPPS!

OK - I am sorry.... I am still laughing! It must be the salt air.

UPS Lifer,
I just thought it was a stupid line in one of my favorite movies of all time, "The Breakfast Club". I really didn't know what was meant when John Bender spoke to the "geek" that the principle (who raids Barry Manalow's wardrobe, by the way!), "is a browniehound"

Knowing this infomation (what a browniehound is) makes me want to change my name. I'm leaning against it because I have built a history on the site with the "Browniehound" name.

I guess I will leave it as this then. I am not a pediphile or a pervert and I think I will keep my name since it hasn't offended anybody yet. If somebody has a problem I would be more than happy to change it.

Thanks everyone,
Brownie

I just thought that a browniehound liked Betty Crocker brownies, or liked brownies with a little weed in them! There ain't nothing wrong with your name, just leave it as is.

Fair enough.........I posted why I chose my screen name and you spun it into simantics on me making a decision going home every night. I gave you numerous examples on how this word can and is used not by only the defintion that you solely inherit!

I didn't spin it into anything. The god honest truth is you get to go home every night and you have the ability to make a decision to return every morning. That is not a spin that is the god honest truth. I understand you want to think of yourself as some victimized schumck being forced to toil for the man but it does not fit because you can go home and not come back anytime you choose.

Born and raised in Metro Detroit, before driver release if you left a package without getting a signature it was called nobbing, or I nobbed it. supposedly if soeone asked who signed for it, response was the door knob.... I perfected it.

I thought it was "Dr Knob" who used to pop up everywhere and sign for those. He was a handy fellow that used to get around a lot! We used to have a mall driver that used to leave stuff at the rear door in the "catacombs" as he used to call the back receiving areas behind the small shops. Some guy named "B. Hill" (for Benny Hill) used to sign for a lot of stuff there.

Now that brings back memories. My 1st warning letter was for nobbing a package. Just like your 1st girl- ya never forget your 1st warning letter
