So if this FTE national event thing acutally comes to fruition arew we going to have a special section at where ever it is for the night shift crew, or are we going to be the only ones up drinking beer all night while everyone else sleeps?
If we do get a special section we'll have a computer set up so that everyone can log in to verify they are a true night shift poster and not an infiltrator.

I went to school here, worked in this same office for 1 1/2 years as a student worker, was hired full itme in this office and graduated one month later. The summer was great, on training shifts and the eye candy walking in and out or around here all day. WOW!!! Since I've been on midnights I either see it wakling around campus on my way in or after I get out in the morning I'll see it walking to class. Now it's getting cold out so I have to imagine, oh well I do have a good imagination at least.

You're [probably right, but all safeguards must be taken or we'll be infiltrated. The moderators mightl delete this thread if they find out we don't actually discuss anything related to Ford, Ford trucks or any such related material. That being said my Ford Truck is in the shop right now. Rotating squeak coming from the rear wheel on my new 04 F-150. There, now we've talked about Ford trucks, we are legit finally.

When I went back to college after getting out of the Navy, I remember thinking how young the girls looked.

Funny thing, Mike. They still look young.
What scares me is this very pretty kid I know who is in her H.S. senior year, getting ready for college.
Just bought her a car for her upcoming 18th birthday.........guess the college bill is next.
I thought about a bumper sticker for her car.....her mom ruined it for me.

I hear yall to, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a 19 year old and a 16 year old. Especially if the lighting ain't the greatest and you've had a few Coors Lights to help sharpen your senses.
