		<description>I never go to the Yes men (or women). I do a good enough job of that on my own. I also don&#039;t go to the &quot;no way&quot; people either as I also do a good enough job of that.

I always manage to find the people who say Yes but, or other ass-kicking words that get me past whatever block I&#039;m currently experiencing. ;)

Enjoy the great American holiday!

		<description>Kelly,

I&#039;ll just bring more beer to Friar&#039;s house then...

(*sigh* I&#039;m taking an unintended &quot;no-show&quot; today for Viking Fridays until I get home, you see, I have a *killer* picture from Friar but the firewall at The Factory wouldn&#039;t let the JPEG through today... and I refuse to post until I have the picture, it&#039;s that good!!!)

		<description>Andrew,

Welcome! Karen did say some darned nice things about me. I&#039;m glad you decided to pop on over here. And &quot;yes&quot; people... that can happen at home, too!

I agree, complaints are a great opportunity for companies that are listening. Right about now, that should be everyone looking for an edge... and that should be everyone!

Thanks for your comment. I hope you&#039;ll find plenty to read here at MCE.

Graham,

&quot;Yes, but&quot; or &quot;Yes, and&quot;—that&#039;s a sledgehammer wrapped in a soft towel. I do appreciate that.

Your prof: &quot;...it was our job to study his poetry and tell him why it worked so well…&quot; Ooh, Yes people who paid for the privilege! That&#039;s a new one!

When you pay for the punching with a consultant, generally you take it better, too, because you &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; open to it if you paid for it. Lots of good points there.

RLD,

I think &quot;Nah nah I don&#039;t hear you&quot; usually covers that, and you can still have a beer with them afterwards. But you don&#039;t benefit from it much.  :)

Brett,

I might pre-post a few &quot;try this from the vault&quot; posts this evening (see, I&#039;m already unable to stay away and I haven&#039;t even left yet). My big thing was I didn&#039;t want to be a comments no-show and have Friar crying on the floor in a corner.

Oh—

Friar! You&#039;re here?

*ahem*

:D

I&#039;ve checked with you on my absence, and you&#039;ve approved. That&#039;s enough for me.

Psst... you can tell me, are you allergic to Ralph Lauren quotes, or were you doing something dastardly like &lt;em&gt;working&lt;/em&gt; the last couple of days? You never skip telling me WW is totally wrong... I missed it!

Not too many Yes Men around here. We have such a fine crowd at MCE.


Until later,

Kelly</description>

I&#039;m glad you&#039;re taking my &quot;advice&quot;. ;-)

I approve of your time off, but make sure you also check with each and every one of your readers. 

Oh, and don&#039;t forget to notify the FBBR  (Federal Bureau of Blog Registries_.

But DO enjoy your turkey!  :-)</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll be a &quot;no&quot; man for you today then, sort of.

Enjoy turkey day, you&#039;ve earned it - and then be all means, take some time off.

We can dig through the archives here but we&#039;ll certainly be here when you return!
