I'm shopping around for a stylish briefcase to complement my elevated status -- image is important, right?

Does this pants suit make my butt look big?

It's for medicinal purposes, yeah, that's it. I love having dogs around. It doesn't seem right without one around. :)

Great misread. I hadn't even thought of that before. :thumbsup:

22. And in many quarters for real has stood for
the People's Liberation Army...

Or the official name of the Chinese Military.

Just an FYI... I guess I'm a member anyway... suits and ties, or will Mao Shirts be required?

:-)

Yes to some outside the PLA... we are down right statists and communists.

Quick, ask them to define EITHER.
