  1. “she recalls sitting on her dad’s lap watching Carl Lewis compete in the Olympics. Michelle Obama was born in 1964. Carl Lewis’ first Olympic appearance was in 1984, at which time Mrs. Obama was 20”

    I have to admit that’s pretty funny, benson

    “as a peron in sales”

    PS, benson, which Peron are you, Juan or Eva?

  2. Hi folks;

    I’m in Orlando,Florida. I have to give a presentation at a trade show. I’m here in a suit, surrounded by rugrats in Mickey Mouse ears!! I’m jealous: they’re on vacation, and I’m not.

    A few things to say:

    -Montrose, sorry I wasn’t able to make the tour. My wife had a down day.

    -Let’s go back to some of the old-time action on the OT. I’ll be happy to light the fuse.

    Here is a link to Michelle Obama’s speech in front of the IOC committee.

    Note the following:

    a) she uses the words “I” or “me” 34 times, in 16 paragraphs.

    b) she recalls sitting on her dad’s lap watching Carl Lewis compete in the Olympics. Michelle Obama was born in 1964. Carl Lewis’ first Olympic appearance was in 1984, at which time Mrs. Obama was 20. Heheheheh. Dad must have had some pretty strong knees there!

    Memo to the Obamas:

    i) as a peron in sales, let me give you some advice. When you are trying to sell a product, please emphasize the benefits to the consumer, not to yourself.

    ii) the campaign is over. Please do not always assume that you are speaking to true believers who are seeking a political messiah and are swept away by tales of your “life’s journey” and charm.

    iii) hard-nosed business people can do the math.

    OK, that should do it. See you later!!

  3. – bxgrl, don’t get mad at me for flirting a little with bxgrl2 in the “Arsenic & Old Lace” thread ; )

    Change your name to CarrollBensoned and she won’t mind the flirting.

  4. St. Marks has been on the market for a long time. They started at over a mil and the brokers don’t seem to want to spend much time on it. they are based in Harlem. The family lives elsewhere and i bet a great deal is to be had. The location is wonderful and the houses along that row are slowly being bought and renovated. In a few more years it will be the primo block in CHN.
