If I use my visit to Paris as an example, if I lived there for six months I would gain at least 40 pounds eating all that good food. If I had an offer to work there I would do it in a heartbeat (probably my last one with those extra 40).

This is really just a humblebrag.

From Marty? I don't think so. I think he really is troubled by this gut wrenching decision.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

What the hell?
Why do Marty get the good assignment while I get orders for frigging Fort Benning GA?

I don't see why marty is getting a hard time. He gets notice about moving to paris in 3 weeks and needs to make a quick decision. Bouncing the situation off languish isn't the most horrible thing in languish history.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Why are you such a drama queen.
Let Marty make the best decision for him.

Paris is worth some extra mass.

That's less than 3 hours from me. But the food is not as good as in Paris.

You signed up about 72 years late if you wanted orders to go to Paris.

And it's not likely that Marti's law firm is going to send anyone to Fort Benning, either.

Siege, you can order the beef ribs.

Probably going to be tough to find a kosher BBQ joint in Georgia or Alabama though.  :lol:
