Especially when new products come out, no doubt. Why not take advantage of completely free, massively large focus groups?

Then why are they still selling Landshark?

Yeah, if he was listening to us he'd be doing about 250 concerts a year and tickets would be 10 bucks.

I was getting a bite to eat a few days ago and in less than an hour watched eight Landsharks delivered to the two small tables near me... Hey Mikey, they like it!

Based on the screen name and the ability to answer the questions, I'll bet that's none other than Jane Buffett!

Welcome aboard.
Someone PMd me a while back that this post was here.
Those are airport managers and I'd almost bet that Mr. Buffett knows'em by first name. So Buffett's Boss, you definitely are flight familiar, whoever you are.
As far as Buffett's Boss Goes. Who the heck knows what that means?
Does it mean Buffett is boss, as in Buffett is cool, or the man?
Could it be possessive as someone has already suggested?
Or could it mean Buffett is my boss?
We'd love to know.
I will share with you that the Falcon arrived Palm Beach 1527Z 30th Jan.
That's 10:27.
As I type this I'm realizing that the last time I chased this rabbit it upset some people so I'm backing off.
I have PMd Buffett's' Boss to no avail.
Tired huh? Just got back? Maybe?

Those hardy Rhode Islanders will drink most anything, I hear...
Or the table in question just might have been some of Jimmy's "people" scouting out Great Woods for the 2008 Labor Day show!!!!!
