          Please update any missing demographic fields to continue. <<< Of course, there is no field for Industry available.

        As a Female Feringi is now tasked with producing this News Letter I expect that she wants to get paid before starting assembling this weeks Newsletter.

        And here I thought that Female Feringi couldn’t be involved in Business. :0

          No not at all because Ferengi don’t allow Government Interference with Business so things like Overtime and Public Holidays are not allowed because they adversely affect [b]PROFIT.[/b] :p

          There isn’t a single Ferengi in the Universe who would expect things like Overtime, Public Holidays, Sick Leave, Paid Holidays o anything along those lines as it would just be so wrong. :0

          Their Leader Zac would have to intervene or the Ferengi Business Council would come and take away everything that those Ferengi own in Fines for their Treason. 🙂

          It has been changing

          by rob miners ·

          In reply to You think that needs bolded?

          frequently lately. I think that JD has been a bit preoccupied with recent events but I’m sure that he will be back in good form. I’m surprised to see OH Smeg at the top of the list as he has spent some time away recently. He’s made up for it though. Must have been the spell. I’ve been stuck on the rail at number 3 for awhile now. Everyone seems to work around me. Are you sure that no one has pinned me there. Boxy is in the running as well as OM. Is he making a push for the top spot?

          What will be the outcome next week?

          We will just have to wait for the NewsLetter. 😀

          even though that was the order listed – its actually not – at least that’s what the top 100 page states – so I’m taking it for its word 🙂 Figured I’d just rotate the five I list week to week as a show of appreciation and kudos

          Well these taxes have fried my brain so I’m off to give it a rest at least until my alarm goes off at 5:30am ET and its back in front of this black box again 😀
