I forgot which tech CEO it was, I think it was the President of analog devices tried to repel himself into a company meeting being held at Boston Garden. Analog devices was a pretty rich company back in the 90s. So the rig that he was descending from got completely, tangled up and messed up and here was the CEO hanging upside down 100 feet up in the air in front of the entire company staff. The fire department could come and rescue him.
It was a good thought, but his PR department should’ve talked him out of it
Cheers .
Ray Stata… I think that’s who it was.
Good guy. Billionaire who drove the same 1970’s country squire station wagon he had owned since starting the company to work every day.
Parking lot was filled with Ferrari and Audi and Porsches belonging to millionaire staff after their IPO. And there’s Ray Stata driving his POS wagon every single day. I liked the guy!!

Nope... not Ray Stata. I just checked in with a buddy who was their CTO... not Ray.
I think it may have been Larry Ellison.
But it was someone... I remember it well! What a CF!

Wtf. She didn't give her phone number.
I thought the one off Harmony in Ft Collins had Diesel?
It isnt too bad to get into.
The one just N of 470 and 25 is a crap show to get in and out of.
I dont go there.
Rifle was the one I was thinking of. The gas /diesel wars at 119/25 usually have the cheapest prices.
Yes
Frequently Im not patient enough for the idiots to get those cheap prices.
Nearly got hit like 6 times waiting once. Always someone trying to jockey to a line.
Cali plates and Audi drivers are of course the ones I remember.
I think officially that one is Tymnath.
Aka, ft collins suburbia.
That area has exploded and kinda sucks now.
My brother is near Johnstown and its a completely hideous crap show of housing going up.
No longer a quiet smaller town.
A bit east of 25 the Murphy's has the same or better prices, and way easier to navigate.
I went to Hayes for their fresh butchered chicken and was stunned at how that town is apartmentville.
Ours was Harvest gold... or maybe ivory. But that was the phone... It was not green.
Despite being bounced around the world like a racquetball... I still have the same home phone number from when I was in elementary school.... One of the benefits of buying the family farm (now revered as Schloss Nitrocellulose) when I could not afford it due to being in marketing is that I still have it. But, didn't matter then as it was my family homestead... so bought it in order to keep the developers off it. The short version is I got to keep the first phone number I ever learned as an ankle-biter.
"Hey, yes, I am closing this mortgage in VT from Sudan where my marketing company is based... STFU and just issue it. Fuck you, I am in marketing. Just sign the fucking papers!" Might have been a quote.
Which us why I still have a phone number issued during the Lyndon Johnson administration....

How these people in these types of vids can keep a straight face is beyond me!

I sincerely hope this really happened!!!!!!!!!
On the edge of change. I can still remember my mother having to come to the school, either kindergarten or first grade. Because I was taught that our phone number was "JU8-3757" And the school would have none of that, old outdated way! I had to learn the modern way, they didn't use letters anymore! I guess I was having none of it either, so they had to call my mother in. Which is insane really. Make someone come in and talk to the teacher or principal about that in the middle of the school day. I guess not much has changed in the overreach department.
