Don't think we need to worry about it. Everybody I'm talking to says groundbreaking/construction has been cancelled.

Confirmos that the purchase was actually made at Purple Wave but that unds called them this week asking about their return policy. Something about the fuel pump. Sorry for the panic, boys.

Don't get too excited about a ground breaking. I have been a part of jobs that have had 3 or more ground breaking ceremonies over a period of time that can span 1, 2, or 3 years.

Ground breaking usually means a bunch of 'tucks with gold shovels turning over a small amt of dirt for cameras, some cake, some drinks, and that is it. The ceremony is nothing.

They are a little bit of a joke in the industry(at least the company I worked the majority of my career with).

You and your bros were ROLLIN at the offices, thinking about the ground breaking.

when we have flip-flop-pak at rick daris' place this summer we should walk over there with a shovel and some signs and have the goEMAW.com ground breaking. seriously.

when some security guy walks over and asks what we are doing we just all stare at him like he's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and say, "Ground breaking" and confuse the eff out of him. Also, he won't do anything because we have a shovel.

I have no fewer than two shovels in my garage that started their life off painted gold and in the hands of some mayor or councilman.

CNS Casey, would you mind if we invited one of your shovels and possibly you to flip-flop-pak? Shovel for sure, I'll have to get clearance from the bros on the you part. you understand.

Talked to my shovels. Pretty insecure about most gold paint being worn off. Lets just hold off on making any firm plans. Gonna go with maybe at this point.

I'll work on them and get back to you.

Drinks you say? I could show up and embarass the entire website?!

If you were actually able to embarrass this site, I would lobby hard to have your poster designation changed to reflect your total badass status. Maybe something along the lines of "Total Badass" or something. That's just a working title though and may be changed before production begins.
