They are super popular here ... The Pittsburgh Pirates (baseball team) has a pierogie race during each game

A race....what do they do, eat a plateful of them and race to the toilet?


Hahaha, I've heard of the Pirates.

He/she will only need good luck if they venture into the FE forum..

If the FE forum is so bad then why do you hang out there all the time? Or is it so bad because you hang out there?

JD, he's joking.

He hangs out there for the same reason a lot of us FE "Dabblers" do...it's a lot more entertaining than the other forums.

I don't know that he's joking. He's always making comments like that. He seems to have quite a disdain for FE agents. Yet he wants to be around them all the time.

Some people like self mutilation. Maybe he comes to the FE Forum because he's too old to be a "cutter".

I joke about the cat piss(even though you haven't sat in it, I have(and I'm just a "Dabbler")and so have many others that are full time FE. I don't see the disdain from Rouse. I do from some others from the FU side, but not from Rouse.
