Here is my resume last year:
--25 trade show badges in one year.
--I went a perfect 25 for 25 as V.I.P status.
--Racked up over 100,000 Sky Miles.
--Chose the "chicken dinner" over the "beef dinner" on Delta 15 out of 20 times.
--Averaged 8.67 days per trip, 13.63 hours per day and 6.2 beers per after party.
--23 out of 25 were solo trips. Relay's are for the feeble.
--Wore out two pair of Rockport's and 15 pairs of socks.
--Went through 12 tubes of hair gel (okay, I made that one up).
--Ate deer tongue, preserved eggs, chicken heads, fish eyes, turtle, cow stomach, pig intestines, "special gravy", etc.
--Was interviewed by the prestigious EESF (Elevator & Escalator Safety Foundation) two times. That's TWO times.
--Too many paper cuts and cramps to mention.
--Met the King of Thailand. Well, sort of, he walked past me in Germany.
--Dressed up as the mascot "Safety Rider" for all the underprivileged chillins'. Well, okay, they were regular elementary school kids but they looked really hungry.
--Handed out 2,322 Elevator World pens and 654 calculators.
--Scaled the Great Wall and bought 10 ties and 12 shirts for less than $15 in China, almost turned over a gondola in Venice, fell in and out of love with Vodka in Moscow, made a "secret deal" with a vagabond for a Turkish rug in Istanbul, drove through a driving snow/sleet storm at night on the road to Munich with no working GPS, saw naked chicks on the beach in Barcelona, had my rickshaw break down in the middle of the Mumbai slums while wearing a head dress and face paint, danced like a possessed chicken to Woolly Bully in a club in Milan, ate a sandwich with a bum in the hills of Malibu, etc., etc.
So, I could go on and on but I think you get the point. My ELEVATOR WORD magazine cover and Elevator Radio Show interview coming soon!
Hey, Michael, go eat some cow balls while selling Elevator Mechanical Design and handing 6 people a world-shaped sticky note pad then get back to me.

That's nothing. I saw you do that same dance last Friday at Crockmiers.
What you know about A Little Bag Of Tricks?
You forgot to add that you have the strength to sit around and chat all day with old people.
Not to mention the wherewithal to entice someone to snap your picture.
Yes...you've been ambitious.
Brad, this is sooo funny!!!! But true! You've had a heck of a travel year and have seen the world! Hey if Bob will put you on the cover of EW I'll take care of the Radio Show!
Michael has nothing on you!!!!
Jeanna -- The music was okay but did you see the personality on that bassist? Oh, yeah, I forgot, baby was in the corner.
Tom -- Wow, I actually have made it big time! Folks, we have the host of The Elevator Radio Show right here on The Pad. I see you all over the country as well so I know you understand. Glad you stopped by and it was good seeing you in Dallas. We should have had dinner...we could have talked shop over a nice plate of cow tongue! Angus Burgers are over rated anyway. Keep up the good work over at the ERS and stop by here again anytime.
I want to know about this so called "bag of tricks"
Post of the year!.........did La-JJ just use the word wherewithal?
La-JJ is known for her vocabulary and her special "rub the flint" and "it's cold" dance moves.
You cant handle Little Bag of Tricks!
