Hello I'm Flunky Girdle Tushie...Pleased To Meet You
 
                    This is a fun activity that actually promotes networking....if you can stop 
 laughing long enough.
 
It's a fun little "respite" to peg out your giggle meter....
I've tried this in lots of places....had a lot of fun...& got rid of 
 anypossible bad juju hangin' around. You can't be or stay grumpy if you do 
 this.
It's also a nice ice breaker....and great way to start or end a meeting, 
 your week, whatever. In short....get a smile....pass it on...and have a 
 great day.
So......it's now time for another round of.......
"What is your name".........
Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, you need some silliness to 
 break up the day, here is your dose:
According to the following excerpt from a children's book, "Captain 
 Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" by Dave Pilkey: 
 The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names. Follow the 
 instructions to find your new name.
Use the third letter of your first name to determine your new first name:
 a = poopsie
 b = lumpy
 c = buttercup
 d = gidget
 e = crusty
 f = greasy
 g = fluffy
 h = cheeseball
 i = chim-chim
 j = stinky
 k = flunky
 l = boobie
 m = zippy
 n = pinky
 o = goober
 p = doofus
 q = slimy
 r = loopy
 s = snotty
 t = tulefel
 u = dorkey
 v = squeezit
 w = oprah
 x = skipper
 y = dinky
 z = zsa-zsa
Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your
 new last name:
 a = apple
 b = toilet
 c = giggle
 d = burger
 e = girdle
 f = barf
 g = lizard
 h = waffle
 i = cootie
 j = monkey
 k = potty
 l = liver
 m = banana
 n = rhino
 o = bubble
 p = hamster
 q = toad
 r = gizzard
 s = pizza
 t = gerbil
 u = chicken
 v = pickle
 w = chuckle
 x = tofu
 y = gorilla
 z = stinker
 
Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of
 your new last name:
 a = head
 b = mouth
 c = face
 d = nose
 e = tush
 f = breath
 g = pants
 h = shorts
 i = lips
 j = honker
 k = butt
 l = brain
 m = tushie
 n = chunks
 o = hiney
 p = biscuits
 q = toes
 r = buns
 s = fanny
 t = sniffer
 u = sprinkles
 v = kisser
 w = squirt
 x = humperdinck
 y = brains
 z = juice
Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is Goober Chickenshorts. Now if 
 you SEND THIS ON ... use your new name as the subject. And remember that 
 children laugh an average of 146 times a day, adults laugh an average of 4 
 times a day. Put more laughter in your life!!
OK....now I'll start (geez...somebody has to do it. LOL)

Dang.....If my Mom named me that I'd change species.
God Bless,
 "Flunky"
 
                                Is Skype Taking Over VoIP In North America??
If the news from broadband management company Sandvine is any indication...the answer is yes. At least for residential anyway. Calls using Skype account for nearly half of the VOIP minutes used (46.2%) and about 40% of the VOIP bandwidth used in North America, according to an analysis done by Sandvine. That puts Skype usage ahead of Vonage, Cablevision, and other popular branded residential VOIP offerings. In fact, Sandvine says Skype users account for 35.8% of individual VOIP callers on North American networks. 
                                VoIP Training Center
There's a nice little VoIP training center courtesy of VoIP News anyone interested in VoIP should visit. Actually it's a comprehensive listing and review of training and certification programs offered around the world, online, and in CDs, videos and books. Perfect resource for every business considering deploying VoIP technology is some form or other. 
                                MLM Company Directory....Use It!
If I've said it once I've said it a million times....when looking for a business for God's sake PLEASE do your homework. Part of that due diligence means you must learn as much as possible about the company (or companies) you're looking at. One very nice resource to help you do this is the MLM Company Directory at MLM.com. You'll find information on commission plan, sales method, product, their stock symbol and market reports if they are a public company, an expanded company description, any press releases from the company, and more. As most of this info is supplied by the company itself....be aware that it may sound a bit biased. But it is an excellent place to start and is reviewed for facts before publishing by InfoTrax Systems (owner of MLM.com).
