charlie griefer's Gravatar <cfinsert> ... that's what *she* said.

todd sharp's Gravatar ray and scott thought that a 'how to unpack your suitcase' topic by you would be a little too obscure...but i'll give it honorable mention.

Scott Stroz's Gravatar You would be amazed how many people do not understand the importance of properly drinking beer at a conference.

Brian Rinaldi's Gravatar @Scott - actually, I think you gave that same preso at MAX and I was there...at least I think I was there...my memory is fuzzy.

todd sharp's Gravatar Yeah he gives it at every conference - probably why they decided to leave it off this year.

Steve Withington's Gravatar so then did "Get Your Tattoo with Mark Drew" make the cut?

Sam Farmer's Gravatar Haha. A couple of those made me LOL

todd sharp's Gravatar @Steve - That's a BOF session ;)

Also - one person mentioned was offended, so a slide was removed. If anyone else mentioned is offended please email me and I'll remove a reference to you.

Sean Corfield's Gravatar I wasn't actually offended - but I felt the slide could be offensive to some and may well have led some people to erroneously believe that I held certain derogatory views about my peers.

I'm more than happy to be made fun of - I'm used to it! - and I think the slide deck overall is pretty funny.

Jen Larkin's Gravatar Piffle. Sean doesn't have derogatory views about his peers-- just about people who *think* they are his peers and are very *very* wrong. Mark's slide was awesome but I think that Scott's beer session got turned down in favor of the panel discussion.

Jen Larkin's Gravatar And I meant Mark Mandel's not Mark Drew's, although Mark Drew's was snickerworthy as well.

charlie griefer's Gravatar ah, sean. we're not as fragile as you think. you know that we know that you love us all in your own very special curmudgeonly way.

(altho it does hurt a little to think that you think we're so fragile) :)

fuzie's Gravatar Who's this Sean guy?

Chris Scott's Gravatar Very funny! I don't think anyone could really be offended by witty humor. Except me of course, for not getting in the deck!

charlie griefer's Gravatar @chris scott

maybe you're the mysterious "TBA" :)
