Ah, Werk... Reminds me of the punchline from an old Dilbert strip:

"Di longer you werk here, di verse it gets..."

We probably have the same crap here - a 'nescafe' machine that gives plastic cups with tea or coffee and powdered milk.......

Yep, but have you ever heard him speak? Sounds like he's got his you-know-what's permanently caught in a bear trap...

I drank it 3 times in 25 years and gagged also. I have got to tolerate it over the past year and will drink it from time to time (once a week)

Here's a thought niceguy:

1) Write down each satellite manufacturer in column 1.
2) Roll 3 10-sided dice, assigning one to 100's, 10's and 1's.
3) Write down resulting number in column 2.
4) Submit.

LOL! I really considered just writing a bunch of random numbers on a piece of paper, pinning it to the wall and then throwing a dart. It would probably be as accurate.

But the point, as is true with any great business plan, isn't accuracy its the level of BS supporting all your highly questionable business assumptions. You have to be able to BS the investors until they stop asking questions.

Clearly their BS wasn't extraodinary BS

Actually, the BPlan goes quiet well and I am feeling pretty good about its accuracy given that this is a new product in a basically new market, which means virtually no data exists on product performance.

Anyway...how bout those Broncos?

Edit: D#@! spelling!

Mmmmm, coffee. 1-2 cups a day for me.

Love the taste. We have a Bunn coffee maker here in the office. It's about 10' from where I sit. I can roll over to it without getting out of my chair. (I do walk there though.) One cup at home and the second here in the early afternoon. Mmmmmmmm.........

Never got into that fluffy latte stuff, but nothing beats a good cup of coffee, in particular with just a tiny bit of chocolate falvor in it.

Loved the Lawyerpult (a lawyer launched via catapult to smite one's enemies). Last company I worked for had two lawyers that ran the place. I saw the lawyerpult in action several times...its a devastating weapon of mass destruction.

My coffee at 5:30am in the morning is anything but fluffy. Fellow cubians tell me i should put a warning label on the pot.

Indeed, I've been told mine is fairly strong. A coworker once told me he could feel his chest hair growing as we spoke.

Who said anything about latte? Yuck. A Bunn is just an industrial grade coffee maker. We can make lots of coffee real quick. I like the taste of coffee, not all those flavors people add to them.

A well made latte can be both good tasting and strong....but it can be a crap shoot. Finding a good small local business is the best bet. have one down the street who operates out of a small community theater house. His lattes are consistantly well balanced between flavor and coffee strength. ZING!

Mike, I didn't mean to point that latte comment at anyone.

Nik, who needs all the fat and extra calories in a latte. I'd rather feed my body with "good" calories.

Lattes don't have that many calories as long as your not using half and half or whole milk. I usually either get a 1% or fat free.....for a splurge i'll get 2%.

now mochas.....yeah a bit on the calorific side but fortunately Peppermint mochas only get offered during Xmas season.
