4. "Playing the race card"
The next person who says that will make me pull a Remy LeBeau and throw an exploding race card in their face.

21. OMG -- I love Gambit
I can't believe they never had Gambit in any of the movies. I know I'm geeking out, but I definitely want to see pictures.

Storm? Nice job playing the race card.

29. LOL
I'm still mad about no Gambit in the movies. There was a throwaway reference to him in the second movie but if you blinked you missed it.

BF is--well, let's just say he's hot enough to confirm my bisexuality. He also looks just like Remy dressed up. :evilgrin:

But I am one of the lame persons who go there to observe the madness rather than be a part of it. :P

And now I'm going to go walking on the beach, in the rain...

20. Let's get down and dirty.
I am flat-lined and bored OF the negativising interfaces that are wanting to move the goal posts and decimate synergy. IMHO the bottom line is that we are in danger of dropping the ball on our ongoing missioning for a cohesive whole. Unless we start singing from the same hymn sheet to address the issues, we will silence the voice and vision for grasping stratospheric success from the jaws of a toothless tiger. It isn't a level playing field and I hear what you say but, bear with me, 'it ain't rocket science' either. Come on guys, we need to focus on blue sky out of the box thinking to maximise the heads up. We can push the envelope but only if the low-hanging fruit is harvested from the top down.

22. "Think outside of the box"
Heard that time and time again from different managers. The thing is THEY are never willing to do the same!
