On My Credenza: Sumo wrestling lunchbox, Statue of Liberty replica, rolodex, boxing lizard puppet, Texas Narcotics Officers Association coffee cup, dinosaur megaphone with flashing lights and sound effects, wicker in/out basket, CD player, computer speakers, monitor, calculator, jail phone call tapes, Elmer's glue, junk mail, another dozen photos of my kids

Seems that my new found friend will soon be conscripted into the glorious ranks of slackerdom (temporarily, I'm sure). I thought I'd try to cheer him up with some great slacker quotes. : ) If all else fails, dear, I need a manservant...you know, like Mr. French in Family Affair.

"The reward for a job well done is more work." -Anon.

"The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to get caught up." - Keith Pawluck

"Do something really bad the first time, and no one will ever think of asking you again." -Stewart Gary
